Methylation of cytosine at the C5-position in DNA plays a major role in epigenetic gene control. The detection of 5-methylcytosine was designed with the base flipping from the duplex using NC and CGG/CGG triad. Using bisulfite and hydroxylamine, the reaction of cytosine in 11-mer duplex produced the adduct of bisulfite and hydroxylamine, which was isolated by HPLC and identified by MALDI-TOF MS. The duplex containing (5m)C in (5m)CGG/(5m)CGG did not react with bisulfite and hydroxylamine under the same conditions. Further this method enables cytosine adjacent to mismatch guanine to react with bisulfite and hydroxylamine selectively.

Recently, many reagents have been introduced to accelerate the formation of highly reactive intermediate Mn species from permanganate (KMnO), thereby improving the oxidation activity of KMnO towards pollutants. However, most studies have mainly focused on sulfur-containing reducing agents (e.g.

One important role of epigenetic regulation is controlling gene expression in development and homeostasis. However, little is known about epigenetics' role in regulating opsin expression. Cell cultures (HEK 293, Y79, and WERI) producing different levels of opsins were treated with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dc) and/or sodium butyrate (SB) or suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) for 72 h.

Context: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) results from the hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone from parathyroid tumors. A transcription factor, namely Paired box1 (PAX1), is active in parathyroid gland development.
Objective: We aimed to study potential epigenetic-mediated mechanism of PAX1 gene in sporadic parathyroid adenomas.

Human intestinal peptide transporter PEPT1 is commonly repressed in human colorectal cancer (CRC), yet its relationship with sensitivity to the common CRC treatment ubenimex has not previously been elucidated. In this study, we confirmed PEPT1 suppression in CRC using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting and then investigated the underlying epigenetic pathways involved using bisulfite sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation, siRNA knockdown, and reporter gene assays. We found that PEPT1 transcriptional repression was due to both DNMT1-mediated DNA methylation of the proximal promoter region and HDAC1-mediated histone deacetylation, which blocked P300-mediated H3K18/27Ac at the PEPT1 distal promoter.

Molecular alterations that contribute to long-term (LT) and short-term (ST) survival in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) may be used as precision medicine biomarkers. DNA promoter methylation is an early event in tumorigenesis, which can be detected in blood and urine, making it a feasible companion biomarker to somatic mutations for early detection and targeted treatment workflows. We compared the methylation profile in 12 HGSC tissue samples to 30 fallopian tube epithelium samples, using the Infinium Human Methylation 450K Array.
