A DNA-Methylated Sight on Autoimmune Inflammation Network across RA, pSS, and SLE by Xingqiang Wang, Dongyun Lei, Jie Ding, Shuang Liu, Li Tao, Fan Zhang, Jiangyun Peng, Jian Xu

“…Particularly, AZU1 and LTBR with hypomethylated TSS and first exon located in the promoter regions were able to trigger inflammation signaling cascades and play critical roles in autoimmune tautology. Moreover, functional epigenetic module (FEM) algorithm showed that different inflammatory networks are involved in different AIDs; 5 hotspots were identified as biologically plausible pathways in inducing or perpetuating of inflammation which are epigenetically deregulated in AIDs. …”
