DNA methylation profiling in lungs tissues of smokers and patients with COPD
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Epigenetics changes have been shown to be affected by cigarette smoking. It is possible that cigarette smoke (CS)-mediated DNA methylation would affect several cellular and pathophysiological processes, acute exacerbations, and comorbidity in lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We sought to determine whether genome-wide lung DNA methylation profiles of smokers and patients with COPD were significantly different from non-smokers. We isolated DNA from lung tissues of patients including 8 lifelong non-smokers, 8 current smokers, and 8 patients with COPD, and subsequently analyzed the samples using the Illumina’s Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip.
