Promoter demethylation patterns of sFRP4 after cardiomyogenesis. a Position of sFRP4 gene on chromosome 7, sequence of the promoter region indicated. b After bisulfite conversion, the 254-bp promoter region of sFRP4 was amplified and cloned for bisulfite sequencing for control (U) and differentiated cardiomyocytes (D); shaded regions indicate the CpG islands that are modified after cardiac differentiation. c CpG islands were evaluated as methylated (orange dot) and unmethylated (red dot) sites by bisulfite sequencing. d After bisulfite conversion, methylation-specific PCR was performed for sFRP4 using unmethylated and methylated primers in control (U) and differentiated cardiomyocytes (D) (**p < 0.01, n = 3, all experiments performed in triplicate). sFRP secreted frizzled-related protein (Color figure online)
