Recently, DNA methylation alterations were found in the blood of ICU patients, partially explaining long\u2010term developmental impairment of critically ill children. As illness\u2010induced aberrant DNA methylation theoretically could also be involved in long\u2010term weakness, we investigated whether the DNA methylation signature in muscle of adult critically ill patients differs from that in muscle of healthy controls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Genome\u2010wide methylation was determined (Infinium\u00ae HumanMethylationEPIC BeadChips) in DNA extracted from skeletal muscle biopsies that had been collected on Day 8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01 in ICU from 172 EPaNIC\u2010trial patients [66% male sex, median age 62.7\u00a0years, median body mass index (BMI) 25.9\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>] and 20 matched healthy controls (70% male sex, median age 58.0\u00a0years, median BMI 24.4\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>). Methylation status of individual cytosine\u2013phosphate\u2013guanine (CpG) sites of patients and controls was compared with <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\u2010tests, using the Benjamini\u2013Hochberg false discovery rate to correct for multiple comparisons. Differential methylation of DNA regions was assessed with bump hunting, with 1000 permutations assessing uncertainty, expressed as family\u2010wise error rate. Gene expression was investigated for 10 representative affected genes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In DNA from ICU patients, 565 CpG sites, associated with 400 unique genes, were differentially methylated as compared with controls (average difference 3.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.1% ranging up to 16.9%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.00005). Many of the associated genes appeared highly relevant for muscle structure and function\/weakness, including genes involved in myogenesis, muscle regeneration, nerve\/muscle membrane excitability, muscle denervation\/re\u2010innervation, axon guidance\/myelination\/degeneration\/regeneration, synapse function, ion channelling with especially calcium signalling, metabolism (glucose, protein, and fat), insulin signalling, neuroendocrine hormone regulation, mitochondrial function, autophagy, apoptosis, oxidative stress, Wnt signalling, transcription regulation, muscle fat infiltration during regeneration, and fibrosis. In patients as compared with controls, we also identified two hypomethylated regions, spanning 18 and 3 CpG sites in the promoters of the HIC1 and NADK2 genes, respectively (average differences 5.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.01% and 12.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.04%, family\u2010wise error rate &lt;0.05). HIC1 and NADK2 play important roles in muscle regeneration and postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors and in mitochondrial processes, respectively.
