Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. The inflammatory and neurodegenerative pathways driving MS are modulated by DNA, lysine and arginine methylation, as evidenced by studies made possible by novel tools for methylation detection or loss-of-function. Here, we present evidence that MS is associated with genetic variants and metabolic changes that impact methylation. Further, we comprehensively review the current understanding of how methylation can impact CNS resilience and neuroregenerative potential, as well as inflammatory vs. regulatory T helper-cell balance. These findings are discussed in the context of therapeutic relevance for MS, with broad implications in other neurologic and immune-mediated diseases.
