Loss of DNA methylation in the neobladder occurs dynamically on non-tissue-specific CpG sites. (A) A heat map showing a subset of probes (n = 748) that is methylated across all normal tissue and exhibits a significant trend of demethylation over time in the neobladder (Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted P-value < 0.05). (B) Nonmetric MDS using demethylated probes shows increased variation between the neobladder samples. (C) Linear regression analysis shows that demethylation in the neobladder is also time dependent and occurs at a rate comparable to de novo methylation in intestine-specific probes. (D) Demethylation of TJP2 is validated using pyrosequencing. T-test was performed. (*) P-value < 0.05.
