Epigenetics of chronic inflammatory diseases
Open accessAbstract
Chronic, noncommunicable, and inflammation-associated diseases remain the largest cause of morbidity and mortality globally and within the United States. This is mainly due to our limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie these complex pathologies. The available evidence indicates that studies of epigenetics (traditionally defined as the heritable changes to gene expression that are independent of changes to DNA) are significantly advancing our knowledge of these inflammatory conditions. This review will focus on epigenetic studies of three diseases, that are among the most burdensome globally: cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of deaths worldwide, type 2 diabetes and, Alzheimer's disease. The current status of epigenetic research, including the ability to predict disease risk, and key pathophysiological defects are discussed. The significance of defining the contribution of epigenetic defects to nonresolving inflammation and aging, each associated with these diseases, is highlighted, as these are likely to provide new insights into inflammatory disease pathogenesis.

In Alzheimer's disease, changes have been identified in the methylation status of CLU, ABCA7, MS4A6A, and CD2AP, which have been reported to contribute to the development of the disease.
“On the other hand, in Alzheimer’s disease, for example, changes have been identified in the methylation status of proteins such as human clusterin CLU; ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 7 ABCA7; MS4A6A; and CD2AP, which have been reported to contribute to the development of the disease.”
From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [86]
The Alzheimer’s disease > DNA methylation section reports differential methylation in CLU, ABCA7, MS4A6A, and CD2AP and says this indicates an epigenetic contribution to AD susceptibility. It does not establish that methylation changes in those specific genes contribute to disease development; the section says the functional significance of such changes remains to be discovered. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAt the TNF-α locus, epigenetic changes lead to a change in chromatin structure from heterochromatin to euchromatin, and methylation marks are replenished mediated by the MLL enzyme.
“At its locus, it leads to a change in chromatin structure (from heterochromatin to euchromatin), and methylation marks have also been replenished at this level mediated by the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) enzyme.”
From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [86]
The sections on chromatin architecture and histone modifications (page unavailable) describe chromatin reorganization and methylation marks associated with euchromatin and heterochromatin. They do not establish a heterochromatin-to-euchromatin change at the TNF-α locus or say that MLL replenishes methylation marks there. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredEpigenetic mechanisms can mediate the development of chronic inflammation by modulating the expression of molecules such as TNF-α, interleukins, tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes, and the autocrine and paracrine activation of NFK-β.
“There is evidence to suggest that epigenetic mechanisms can mediate the development of chronic inflammation by modulating the expression of molecules, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukins, tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes, and the autocrine and paracrine activation of the nuclear factor kappa beta (NFK-β) transcription factor.”
From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [86]
The ‘Physiological and pathological inflammation’ and ‘Initiation’ sections say epigenetic changes influence inflammatory pathways and that epigenetic modifiers help regulate inflammatory genes. They also describe cytokine-mediated feed-forward loops. The passages do not support the full specified list of TNF-α, interleukins, tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes, or the asserted autocrine and paracrine activation of NF-κB; searches for those terms did not establish that mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredmiRNAs target the BACE1 protein that regulates the production of amyloid beta platelets, Aβ, which when accumulated contribute to neuroinflammation and progression of Alzheimer's disease.
“Likewise, it has been reported that there are miRNAs that target the BACE1 protein that regulates the production of amyloid beta platelets, Aβ, which, when accumulated, contribute to the neuroinflammation and progression of this disease [86,87,88].”
From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [86]
The Alzheimer’s disease > MicroRNAs section says miRNAs target mRNAs for proteins involved in Aβ processing, including BACE1, which regulates Aβ production. The Molecular and clinical features section says accumulated Aβ plaques contribute to neuroinflammation and disease progression. The citing sentence is imprecise: the paper describes targeting BACE1 mRNA, not the protein directly, and calls the deposits plaques, not platelets. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSuch molecules are constitutively produced by different cells during chronic inflammatory conditions, leading to the development of lung and neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
“Such molecules are constitutively produced by different cells during chronic inflammatory conditions, which in turn leads to the development of lung and neurodegenerative diseases and cancer [86].”
From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [86]
In “Physiological and pathological inflammation > Initiation” (page not provided), the paper describes cytokine-mediated inflammatory loops involving immune and resident cells. “Alzheimer’s disease > Molecular and clinical features” (page not provided) links failure to resolve brain inflammation with Alzheimer’s pathology. Our copy does not support the stronger claim that these molecules are constitutively produced or that their production leads to lung disease and cancer. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
During tumorigenic progression, loss of expression of tumor suppressors RB1, BRCA1, APC, MLH1, and VHL has been observed due to hypermethylation at the promoter level.
“To cite an example, during tumorigenic progression, the loss of the expression of tumor suppressors—such as RB1; breast cancer type 1, BRCA1; anaphase promoting complex, APC; DNA mismatch repair protein MLH1; and Von Hippel–Lindau tumor suppressor VHL—has been observed due to hypermethylation at the promoter level.”
From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [86]
The DNA modifications section discusses a general, qualified relationship between DNA methylation and transcription, but does not address promoter hypermethylation of the named tumor suppressors during tumorigenesis. Searches for RB1, BRCA1, APC, MLH1, VHL, and tumor-suppressor silencing found no passage in our copy that verifies the claim. Page numbers were unavailable. (LLM, conf=0.72)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTNF-α undergoes epigenetic modifications at DNA methylation in its promoter (hypermethylation and hypomethylation) to regulate its expression or at histone modifications due to acetylation orchestrated by ATF2 and CBP.
“As an example of the above, it has been described that TNF-α undergoes epigenetic modifications at the level of DNA methylation in its promoter (hypermethylation and hypomethylation) to regulate its expression or at the level of histone modifications due to acetylation orchestrated by the enzymes activating transcription factor 2, ATF2, and the CREB binding protein (CBP).”
From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [86]
The DNA modifications and Histone modifications sections describe methylation and acetylation as general mechanisms of gene regulation, but do not link them to TNF-α. Searches for TNF-α promoter methylation and for ATF2/CBP-mediated acetylation found no passage addressing the specific example attributed to this paper; page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredOverexpression of TNF-α has been observed in rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and asthma.
“The overexpression of TNF-α has been observed in a wide variety of inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and asthma [86,87].”
From Revisiting Epigenetics Fundamentals and Its Biomedical Implications (2024) · cites this paper as [86]
The Atherosclerosis > Histone modifications section reports increased TNF-a gene expression after oxidized-LDL exposure, but does not address the four diseases in the claim. Searches for TNF-a alongside rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and asthma found no passage in our copy reporting overexpression in those diseases. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
