Methylation status of CpG islands in the promoter regions of signature genes during chondrogenesis of human synovium–derived mesenchymal stem cells
29 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Human synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can efficiently differentiate into mature chondrocytes. It has been suggested that DNA methylation is one mechanism that regulates human chondrogenesis; however, the methylation status of genes related to chondrogenic differentiation is not known. The purpose of this study was to investigate the CpG methylation status in human synovium-derived MSCs...
