DNA Methylation Dynamics During Lgr5+ Intestinal Stem Cell Differentiation (Affymetrix Arrays)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The identification of Lgr5 as an intestinal stem cell marker has made it possible to isolate and study primary stem cells from small intestine and skins. Applying genome-wide resequencing of bisulfite-treated genomic DNA, we profiled the DNA methylation changes of FACS-sorted Lgr5+ve stem cells and their immediate undifferentiated daughter cells from small intestine and skin. In addition to this, we also analyzed terminally differentiated villus cells. We find that terminal differentiation of an adult solid-tissue stem cell does not require DNA methylation dynamics at transcriptional start sites, but is characterized by hypo-methylation of enhancer-like domains.
