Epigenome analysis of muscle tissue samples from male participants of the Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study (HSS) and Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study extension (HSSe)

ABSTRACT: Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of muscle tissue genomic DNA. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC array was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs. Samples were male, taken from both the Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study (HSS, n=34) and the Hertfordshire Sarcoepnia Study exension (HSSe, n=44), to determine DNA methylation associations with measures of muscle mass and function. We further aimed to test whether differences in the muscle methylome are associated with sarcopenia in older individuals. We found significant associations between DNA methylation in the muscle tissue and sarcopenia, as well as individual measures of muscle mass and function, enriched around EZH2 binding sites.
