Role of natural antioxidants in the regulation of epigenetic mechanisms involved in diabetes pathogenesis. Antioxidants are becoming powerful alternative approach in epigenetic therapy. Besides synthetic compounds as a potential epigenetic modifiers (Aza, Vidaza, Decitabine (DAC), valproic acid and trichostatin A), it has been shown that polyphenolic compounds have the ability to modulate epigenetic related mechanisms including DNA methylation, histone modification and regulation of miRNA expression. SAM, S-Adenosyl methionine; SAH, S-adenosylhomocysteine; DNMTs, DNA methyltransferases; HATs, Histone acetyltransferases; HDACs, Histone deacetylases; HMTs, Histone methyltransferases; RISC, RNA-induced silencing complex; EGCG, epigallocatechin gallate; W, writers of histone marks; R, readers of histone marks; E, erasers of histone marks.
