Table 2.

Some examples of epigenetics coming from training responses in experimental models.

Sample source Primary stimulus/ disease Admistration route Omic platform Epigenetic change Localization Results Ref.
Infection
Macrophage cultures from bone marrows mice LPS Intraperitoneal injection ChIP-seq Stable H3K4me1 (24h)
Transient H3K27Ac
(4h)
Latent enhancer
(unmarked in the basal state)
LPS can activate 514 latent enhancers at 4 h and 1,002 at 24 h leading to a short-term transcriptional memory [65]
Peritoneal macrophages from mice Candida albicans
(β-glucans)
Intraperitoneal injection Chip-seq Increase in H3K4me3 Promoters Protection against reinfection in a monocyte-dependent manner by enhancing dectin-1, C-type lectin receptors, pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-18, TLRs and TLR adaptor protein Myd88 [66]
Immune system diseases
Mononuclear cells
from mice
arthritis // Chip-seq Elevated levels of phosphorylated
H3
Promoters Upregulation of the AURKA and AURKB genes can lead to promotes proliferation of T lymphocytes.
Treatment with the VX-680 attenuated inflammatory reactions
and promoted the apoptosis of B cells
[67]
Mouse model of transient hyperglycemia and bovine aortic endothelial cells Hyperglycemia // Chip-seq Enhanced H3K4 and reduced H3K9 methylation Promoters High-glucose-mediated NFKB-p65 gene upregulation that is refractory to glycemic correction [68]
