Effects of DNA methylation on the MUC2 gene promoter activity. pGL3-basic: empty plasmid; Methylated: pGL3-MUC2 recombinant plasmid were treated with M.SssI; Control: pGL3-MUC2 recombinant plasmid was not methylated. Both Methylated group and Control group contained the promoter sequence analyzed in this study. **P < 0.01.
