Figure 3From: The application of methylation specific electrophoresis (MSE) to DNA methylation analysis of the 5' CpG island of mucin in cancer cells MSE analysis of DNA methylation status of MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC4, MUC5AC and MUC17 promoter regions in 12 cell lines. The results of each mRNA analysis using RT-PCR are shown in the upper row of MSE results. The expression level of GAPDH mRNA in each cell line was used as a control in the RT-PCR analysis. The methylation pattern of each gene was consistent with the results of massARRAY analysis [2, 4, 6–10].Back to article page
