Methylome and transcriptome sequencing to study epigenetic alterations in colon associated fibroblasts from normal, colitis and cancer associated fibroblasts
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The colon cancer associated fibroblasts are part of the tumor microenvironment and has been shown to facilitate colon cancer progression by secretion of various signaling molecules and growth hormones. Similarly, the fibroblasts associated with colitic colons secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines that promote inflammation of the colon. However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie these gene expression changes in these fibroblasts is unclear. To characterize the epigenetic mechanisms that may contribute to the gene expression changes in these fibroblasts, we performed RNA-seq and MBD-isolated genome sequencing (MiGS or MBD-seq) on colon associated fibroblasts isolated from normal, colitis and cancer patients.
