This study was performed to elucidate the potential influence of He Qi San (HQS) on glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with phlegm-blood stasis syndrome (PBSS), and to determine DNA methylation changes. Sixty T2DM patients with PBSS were randomly divided into control and HQS groups. The control group received conventional treatments, and the HQS group received conventional treatments plus HQS. Glucose metabolism (FPG, 2hPG, FINS, and HbA1c) and lipid metabolism indexes (TG, TC and LDL-C) were determined. Genes with differential DNA methylation were subjected to GO and KEGG analyses. Glucose and lipid metabolism indexes in both groups were reduced, but were much more pronounced in the HQS group. Differential promoter CpG methylation regions were identified in 682 genes, including 426 genes with high-CpG promoters, 150 genes with intermediate CpG promoters, and 106 genes with low CpG promoters. Genes with differential DNA methylation were mainly enriched in the AMPK and insulin signaling pathways, terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, and renin secretion. We concluded that HQS remarkably improved indexes of glucose and lipid metabolism in T2DM patients with PBSS through regulating the DNA methylation of genes in the AMPK and insulin signaling pathways and terpenoid backbone biosynthesis.
