DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation combined with transcriptional profiling identify key regulators of hyperoxia-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia by Hui-Tao Li, Tao Qian, Hao-Min Zhang, Qiu-Hua Li, Yi-Yun Ma, Yi-Fan Li, Zi-Lu Huang, Dong-Shan Han, Yuan-Ye Dang, Ying-Ying Xiao, Ling Sun, Xue-Yu Chen, Xue-Yan Jiang

“…Conversely, eight candidate genes, containing Krt76, Spon2, Abcc6, Egfl7, Gpbar1, Myh6, Tgfbi, and Tmem100, displayed pronounced downregulation associated with both hyper-DNA methylation and hypo-DNA hydroxymethylation levels. Most importantly, the upregulation of Apln and Calca was further validated in hyperoxia-induced BPD, which was characterized by reduced DNA methylation and increased DNA hydroxymethylation levels at their promoter regions. …”
