Resveratrol Reverts Epigenetic and Transcription Changes Caused by Smoke Inhalation on Bone-Related Genes in Rats.

We investigated the effects of cigarette smoke (CS) and resveratrol intake on the modulation of bone repair-related genes through epigenetic mechanisms at the global and gene-specific levels, after 30 days of calvarial defects were created, in rats. The samples were assigned to three groups as follows: no CS, CS, and CS/resveratrol. After evaluation of global (5 hmC) changes and epigenetic and transcription regulation at gene-specific levels, CS group showed increased 5 hmC and Tets transcripts with demethylation at Rankl and Trap promoters (p ≤ 0.
