Fig. 6. Demethylation of full-methylated CpG sites up-regulates mesenchymal genes.

Fig. 6

a, b The genes were divided as described in Fig. 5a. The differences in demethylation (a) and gene expression changes (b) induced by Tet1 were compared between the two reprogramming systems. c, d In total, 606 genes were selected (see text). Tet1 induced larger demethylation on these genes in the presence of Vc than in the absence of Vc. The expression of these genes decreased during reprogramming but could be reversed by Tet1 in the presence of Vc. Demethylation (c) and gene expression changes (d) were summarized. e, f In total, 32 genes that undergo significant down-regulation were selected for analysis (e). Of these 32 genes, the expression changes of 15 mesenchymal genes were determined by qPCR (f)
