Methylation and hydroxymethylation of total DNA and transcript expression of DNA methyl transferase 1 (DNMT1) was assessed in the alveolar mucosa model cultured at air–liquid interface following exposure to aerosolized non-nicotinized (−NIC) and nicotinized (+NIC) electronic cigarette liquid flavor 1 (ECIG-flavor-1) (ac) and ECIG-flavor-2 (df). Data are shown as percentage of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). Fold changes for transcript expression were calculated relative to the corresponding sham. Actin beta (ACTB) was used as the reference gene. *: significantly different from sham; #: significantly different from −NIC (p < 0.05, Friedman followed by Wilcoxon test).
