Figure 7.
Methylation profile of ZFP36 promoter in dermal fibroblasts from skin biopsies. CpG sites are represented by red vertical bars along the upstream region of ZFP36 transcription start site, which was taken as “+1” position of base counting. The “F1” subregion, between −1,000 and −500, was amplified by PCR after bisulfite conversion and then sequenced to obtain the presented methylation profile. Two fibroblast samples from healthy donors and two lesional fibroblast samples from psoriasis donors were analyzed. White circle, unmethylated CpG; black circle, methylated CpG.
