  1. Pyrosequencing analysis showing methylation levels of six CpG islands of the SHP-1 gene. A significant higher level of methylation was observed in the CpG islands of SHP-1 in MV4-11 and MV4-11R-cep compared with in MV4-11R-cep + 5-Aza cells (p = 0.023), using the EpigenDx kit (Hopkinton, MA, USA)
