Differential expression and methylation of integrin subunit alpha 11 and thrombospondin in the amnion of preterm birth

This study aimed to investigate the association between preterm birth and epigenetic mechanisms in the amnion. We examined the association between differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially expressed genes (DEG) using a cytosine-phosphate-guanine methylation array and whole-transcri...

Zusammenfassung:This study aimed to investigate the association between preterm birth and epigenetic mechanisms in the amnion. We examined the association between differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially expressed genes (DEG) using a cytosine-phosphate-guanine methylation array and whole-transcriptome sequencing from the amnion (preterm birth, n=5; full term, n=5). We enrolled 35 participants for mRNA expression analysis and pyrosequencing: 16 full-term and 19 preterm subjects. We compared the association of integrin subunit alpha 11 ( ) and thrombospondin 2 ( ) gene methylation status with mRNA expression in the amnion. In the preterm birth group, methylation of and genes was significantly lower ( gene: 60.30% vs. 73.16%,
