Epigenetics of genes associated with tuberculosis susceptibility such as DNA methylation, posttranslational histone modifications, and non-coding RNA remain largely untapped field for better tuberculosis control. Many genes involved in tuberculosis susceptibility (e.g., NRAMP1 (SLC11A1), IFNG, NOS2A, VDR, ISG15, TACO, TLR1, TLR, IL18R1, chemokines, PADI, DUSP14, MBL, and MASP-2) have been subjected to epigenetic modification. Our summary of these modifications provides fresh insights into the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and inspires targets discovery for host-derived therapy.
与结核病易感性相关基因的表观遗传学,如DNA甲基化、翻译后组蛋白修饰和非编码RNA,在很大程度上仍是尚未开发的领域,以实现更好的结核病控制。许多参与结核病易感性的基因(如NRAMP1(SLC11A1)、IFNG、NOS2A、VDR、ISG15、TACO、TLR1、TLR、IL18R1、趋化因子、PADI、DUSP14、MBL和MASP-2)已发生表观遗传修饰。我们对这些修饰的总结为结核病发病机制提供了新的见解,并为宿主源性治疗的靶点发现提供了启发。
