Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis is the late stage of many lung diseases. It′s a pathological process with excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, tissue scar formation and lung tissue remodeling. Recently, DNA methylation has been demonstrated to involve in organ fibrosis, includingpulmonary, liver, renal fibrosis and so on. DNA methylation plays an important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment. This article reviews the role of DNA methylation in the development of pulmonary fibrosis and discusses thepathogenic mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis and new anti-fibrotic strategy.
Key words:
DNA methylation; Pulmonary fibrosis; Epigenetics
