DNA Methylation in Pulmonary Fibrosis

DNA methylations, including global methylation pattern and specific gene methylation, are associated with pathogenesis and progress of pulmonary fibrosis. This chapter illustrates alteration of DNA methylation in pulmonary fibrosis as a predictive or prognostic factor. Treatment with the DNA methylation inhibitors will be an emerging anti-fibrosis therapy, although we are still in the pre-clinical stage of using epigenetic markers as potential targets for biomarkers and therapeutic interventions.
