Analysis of repetitive element DNA methylation by MethyLight
Repetitive elements represent a large portion of the human genome and contain much of the CpG methylation found in normal human postnatal somatic tissues. Loss of DNA methylation in these sequences might account for most of the global hypomethylation that characterizes a large percentage of human cancers that have been studied. There is widespread interest in correlating the genomic 5-methylcyt...
متن کاملDNA methylation analysis by digital bisulfite genomic sequencing and digital MethyLight
Alterations in cytosine-5 DNA methylation are frequently observed in most types of human cancer. Although assays utilizing PCR amplification of bisulfite-converted DNA are widely employed to analyze these DNA methylation alterations, they are generally limited in throughput capacity, detection sensitivity, and or resolution. Digital PCR, in which a DNA sample is analyzed in distributive fashion...
متن کاملHomology-dependent methylation in primate repetitive DNA.
In mammals, several studies have suggested that levels of methylation are higher in repetitive DNA than in nonrepetitive DNA, possibly reflecting a genome-wide defense mechanism against deleterious effects associated with transposable elements (TEs). To analyze the determinants of methylation patterns in primate repetitive DNA, we took advantage of the fact that the methylation rate in the germ...
متن کاملPrenatal exposure to mixtures of xenoestrogens and repetitive element DNA methylation changes in human placenta.
BACKGROUND Prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) has previously shown to alter epigenetic marks. OBJECTIVES In this work we explore whether prenatal exposure to mixtures of xenoestrogens has the potential to alter the placenta epigenome, by studying DNA methylation in retrotransposons as a surrogate of global DNA methylation. METHODS The biomarker total effective xenoes...
متن کاملNovel Multiplex MethyLight Protocol for Detection of DNA Methylation in Patient Tissues and Bodily Fluids
Aberrant DNA methylation is a hallmark of cancer and is an important potential biomarker. Particularly, combined analysis of a panel of hypermethylated genes shows the most promising clinical performance. Herein, we developed, optimized and standardized a multiplex MethyLight assay to simultaneously detect hypermethylation of APC, HOXD3 and TGFB2 in DNA extracted from prostate cancer (PCa) cell...
