Abstract
Background: Numerous epidemiological studies have found that pesticide exposure is associated with the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. DNA methylation may play a role in this process.
Aim: To identify the genes associated with pesticide exposure and T2D by reviewing the current literature.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed and Embase for relevant studies that examined the association between pesticide exposure and DNA methylation, and studies on DNA methylation and T2D through January 15, 2024.
Results: We identified six genes (Alu, CABLES1, CDH1, PDX1, PTEN, PTPRN2) related to pesticide exposure and T2D. We also suggested future research directions to better define the role of DNA methylation in the association between pesticide exposure and T2D.
Conclusion: DNA methylation of specific genes may play a vital role in the association between pesticide exposure and T2D.
期刊介绍:
The WJD is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJD is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of diabetes. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJD is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJD are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in diabetes. Scope: Diabetes Complications, Experimental Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes, Gestational, Diabetic Angiopathies, Diabetic Cardiomyopathies, Diabetic Coma, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Diabetic Nephropathies, Diabetic Neuropathies, Donohue Syndrome, Fetal Macrosomia, and Prediabetic State.
