Abstract
Aim: Promoter methylation of LINE-1 may be affected by prematurity, but there is little evidence in the literature.Materials & methods: Blood from premature and full-term neonates on days 0, 5, 30 and 90 was analyzed for DNA methylation percentage in a promoter region of the LINE-1, after bisulfite conversion and pyrosequencing.Results: Premature infants, as a whole, showed significantly lower methylation percentage at birth, but this difference diminished over time. However, the subgroup of extremely premature (<28 weeks gestational age) had higher methylation percentages, similar to full-term newborns.Conclusion: This research underscores the critical role of prematurity on the methylation pattern of LINE-1. These findings underline the complexity of epigenetic regulation in prematurity and emphasize the need for further studies.
期刊介绍:
Epigenomics provides the forum to address the rapidly progressing research developments in this ever-expanding field; to report on the major challenges ahead and critical advances that are propelling the science forward. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats – invaluable to a time constrained community.
Substantial developments in our current knowledge and understanding of genomics and epigenetics are constantly being made, yet this field is still in its infancy. Epigenomics provides a critical overview of the latest and most significant advances as they unfold and explores their potential application in the clinical setting.
