DNA methylome analysis of parental and p53-knockout MCF-7 and T47D breast cancer cells treated with sodium arsenite
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The study aimed to test the hypothesis that mutations in p53, a gene commonly altered in human malignancies, may influence cellular responses to an environmental non-mutagenic agent through potential epigenetic mechanisms. Utilizing the CRISPR-Cas9 system, p53 knockouts were generated in MCF7 and T47D breast cancer cell lines. DNA methylation patterns in these cell lines were characterized using targeted pyrosequencing and methylome-wide Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip arrays following exposure to sodium arsenite, a well-established human carcinogen known to impact the epigenome. The results demonstrated that the knockout of p53 alone was associated with extensive alterations in DNA methylation, characterized by predominant CpG hypermethylation alongside global demethylation.
