Inhibitory effect of alpinetin on IL‐6 expression by promoting cytosine methylation in CpG islands in the IL‐6 promoter region

Abstract Background Alpinetin is a flavonoid which exerts antibacterial and anti‐inflammatory functions. In order to prove that the induced methylation is an important mechanism for alpinetin in regulating the expression of inflammatory factor Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), we detected the dinucleotide methy...
