Altogether, our data suggests a possible role for DNA methylation in regulating monocyte activity that may associate with the insulin-resistant phenotype. The methylomic landscape of insulin resistance in monocytes could originate from epigenetic dysregulation during HSC differentiation through the myeloid lineage. Understanding the factors involved with changes in the myeloid trajectory may provide further insight into the development of insulin resistance. Furthermore, regulation of specific genes that were implicated in our analysis reveal possible targets for modulating immune activity to ameliorate insulin resistance.
