Project description:DNA methylation was analysed in liver cancer cell lines and one normal heapatocyte cell line using Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC arrays.
Project description:We used Methyl-MiniSeq platform from Zymo Research company to identify genome-wide methylation changes affected by overnight fasting in mice liver. Compared to control mice liver, we observed extensive genome-wide methylation patern changes in fasted mice liver, with some genes showing incresed methylation, others showing decreased methylation, and the rest with no significant change.
Project description:To determine whether differences between background strains or housing conditions altered the hepatic methylome, We report the generation and analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation profiles at nucleotide resolution in mouse liver from two male mice on a mixed background (mixed-1, mixed-2) and two males on a pure Black-6 (B6-1, B62) background. Using Enhanced high-throughput Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (ERRBS), we enriched CpG islands in mouse liver, and covered a representative sampling of conserved non-coding elements, transposons and other genomic features, for mouse liver. We found that the total CpG methylation of each methylome was strikingly similar among the 4 mouse liver samples from two different genetic backgrounds. Analysis of all CpG sites with at least 10x coverage showed a bimodal distribution of methylation, with all samples having 25% of hypermethylated CpG sites and 60% as hypomethylated CpG sites. Given the high percent of genome coverage and robust depth at single nucleotide level, these datasets provide a resource for investigation into changes in DNA methylation patterns in liver disease, tumorigenesis and regeneration. Ehanced reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (MspI 70~320bp size fraction) of liver tissue

Project description:Using a pooled (n=10) zebrafish liver DNA, we generated base-resolution DNA methylation maps to document epigenetic landscape in zebrafish genome. Here we generated single-nucleotide resoultion DNA methylation map of zebrafish pooled liver sample using Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS)
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of sixteen melanoma cell lines. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs from the cell lines at baseline.
Project description:Liver fibrosis was found to be existed in all kinds of chronic liver diseases. Many studies suggested that DNA methylation was related with the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. The aim of this study was to quantitatively detect DNA methylation changes in the whole genome in fibrotic liver tissues. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was used to induce male mice liver fibrosis by intraperitoneal injection for 4 weeks. A genome-wide methylome analysis was performed using 850K BeadChips assays. The methylation status of 27 CpG dinucleotides located in 3 genes was detected by pyrosequencing to confirm chips data accuracy, and their mRNA expressions were examined by RT-qPCR methods. A total of 130,068 differentially methylated sites (DMS, 58,474 hypermethylated and 71,594 hypomethylated) between fibrotic liver tissues and control mice liver tissues were identified by the 850k BeadChips array. They distribute in each chromosome. Recognition of apoptotic cell, Notch and p38MAPK et al activities were significantly enriched in the Gene Ontology (GO) analyses. Cholesterol metabolism, bile secretion and more biosynthesis and metabolism pathway were enriched in KEGG pathway analyses. Many classical pathways of fibrogenesis and liver activity, as well as more biosynthetic and metabolic pathways, were found to be related to methylation changes. Our result facilitates future research for clinical application.
