Project description:Epilepsy causes altered gene expression; transient adenosine treatment inhibits progression of epileptogenesis Hippocampus of epileptic rat is hypermethylated compared to naïve; adenosine treatment causes hypomethylation Metylation state in epileptic rats (9 weeks post kainic acid induced status epilepticus) was compared to naïve (untreated) rats and epileptic rats treated with adenosine for 5 days
Project description:CpG methylation analysis of MeDIP DNA using Agilent Human DNA methylation Microarray slides (G4495A, AMADID 023795) Using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation microarray (MeDIP-chip) and Agilent Human DNA methylation Microarray slides (G4495A, AMADID 023795) we report genomic methylation signatures of tissues resected from Mesial temporal epilepsy (MTLE) and Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type II patients undergoing surgery. Control samples were obtained from the non-epileptic post mortem cases without any brain pathology
