Epigenetics of Rhinovirus

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Targeting Epigenetics in Inflammatory Lung Diseases

Abstract

Epigenetics is a moderately novel field that explores the genetic and non-genetic components of transmissible phenotypic changes, which are commonly caused by ecological and metabolic factors. The epigenetic machinery of the host may employ changes like methylation of histone and acetylation, methylation of DNA and RNA, remodelling of chromatin, and non-coding RNAs to regulate gene expression. One of the most infectious and potentially lethal types of viruses is the rhinovirus. Here, we’ll provide you a high-level introduction to rhinovirus epigenetics. A rhinovirus is a kind of very dangerous respiratory RNA virus. There is mounting sign that epigenetic alterations play an important role in the progress of rhinovirus diseases. A more active vaccine or safer chemotherapeutical treatments, such as epigenetic pharmaceuticals, are needed to manage with this viral pandemic and give pre- and post-exposure prophylaxes against RHINOVIRUS.
