Type 2 diabetes mellitus in relation to global LINE-1 DNA methylation in peripheral blood: A cohort study

Abstract: In the last years, epigenetic processes have emerged as a promising area of complex diseases research. DNA methylation measured in Long Interspersed Nucleotide Element 1 (LINE-1) sequences has been considered a surrogate marker for global genome methylation. New findings have suggested the potential involvement of epigenetic mechanisms in Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) as a crucial interface between the effects of genetic predisposition and environmental influences. Our study evaluated whether global DNA methylation p… Show more

“…The CpG sites in a LINE‐1 promoter are normally heavily methylated to prevent retrotransposition . Recent studies have shown that methylation of the LINE‐1 elements is associated with an increased risk of worsening carbohydrate metabolism . It has been previously shown that overall DNA methylation of LINE‐1 elements could be considered as a risk factor for T2DM and its complications, independent of other established risk factors…”

“…Low methylation in LINE-1-repetitive elements has been associated with chromosomal instability as well as inflammatory process [56]. Notably, lower LINE-1 DNA methylation levels in peripheral blood cells were associated with a higher risk of T2DM, independently from other classic risk factors, highlighting the potential role for these epigenetic biomarkers as predictors of T2DM risk or other related metabolic disorders [55]. …”
