Cover Story: Nutritional epigenomics describes the complex interactions between food compounds and epigenome modifications. Phytonutrients or bioactive compounds, which are secondary metabolites of plants, can protect against osteoarthritis by suppressing the expression of inflammatory and catabolic mediators, via modulating epigenetic changes in DNA methylation, and the histone or chromatin remodelling of key inflammatory genes and noncoding RNAs. The combination of natural epigenetic modulators is crucial because of their additive and synergistic effects, safety, and therapeutic efficacy, and lower adverse effects than conventional pharmacology in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
