Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been linked to changes in DNA methylation levels, which can, in turn, alter transcriptional activity. However, most studies for epigenome-wide associations between T2D and DNA methylation comes from cross-sectional design. Few large-scale investigations have explored these associations longitudinally over multiple time-points.

Excessive fluoride intake can lead to skeletal fluorosis. Nutritional differences in the same fluoride-exposed environment result in osteosclerosis, osteoporosis, and osteomalacia. DNA methylation has been found to be involved in skeletal fluorosis and is influenced by environment and nutrition.

Objective: The role of homeobox A3 (HOXA3) in cancer progression is gaining prominence, however, to date, no studies have investigated its regulatory function in oral cancer. In this study, we explored the role of HOXA3 through epigenetic mechanisms.
Methods: Clinical samples were collected from 25 potentially malignant oral lesions and 50 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients, categorized into low-stage and high-stage tumors.

The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene plays an important role in modulating the stress-response axis and inflammation, which can be regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. BNDF methylation has been associated with stress-related psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress. Previous studies have reported that stressful events are involved with long-lasting alterations in DNA methylation (DNAm) of the BNDF exon IV promoter, suggesting that glucocorticoids and inflammatory cytokines can regulate this process.
