The global hypomethylation of CD4+ T cells in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients has been previously reported. However, potential influencing factors are unclear. This study aimed to uncover the potential influence of obese on hypomethylated CD4+ T cells in SLE patients. ⋯ Hypomethylated CD4+ T cells extensively occur in SLE patients, which are much more pronounced in obese cases. DNMT1 level is found to be negatively correlated to the methylation rate of CD4+ T cells in SLE patients.
