Abstract

In recent years, epigenetic studies have largely concentrated on aging, embryonic development, and cancer. Presently, epigenetics is found to be important in many other areas, such as immune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. Because epigenetic modifications can use artificial methods, by altering external or internal environmental factors, while having the ability to alter gene expression, epigenetics is considered to be an important mechanism for many unknown etiologies [1]. Great potential lies in the development of epigenetic therapies, and several inhibitors of enzymes controlling epigenetic modifications have shown promising antitumorigenic effects for some malignancies [2].
