Universal lung epithelium DNA methylation markers for detection of lung damage in liquid biopsies
21 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating biomarkers for lung damage are lacking. Lung epithelium-specific DNA methylation patterns can potentially report the presence of lung-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blood, as an indication of lung cell death. METHODS: We sorted human lung alveolar and bronchial epithelial cells from surgical specimens, and obtained their methylomes using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. We developed a...
