Fig. 2. MiR-486-5p expression is regulated by DNA methylation of its promoter.
a MethPrimer website predicted that a CpG island is located at the promoter region of miR-486-5p. b, c BSP analysis demonstrated that methylated CG sites in CRC cell lines were more than that in FHC. d MSP analysis uncovered hypermethylation of the miR-486-5p promoter in CRC tissues when compared to ANTs. e The expression of miR-486-5p restored in CRC cell lines using 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine. Data are represented as means ± S.D. from at least three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
