Table 2. HPRT promoter: bisulphite DNA sequencing results.

Cells Number of sequenced clones 6TG (μM/days) C at CpG sites (=methylated CpG) C at non-CpG site (=bisulphite failure)
Male lymphocytes 7 0 04/301 (1.3%) 6/616 (1.0%)
Female lymphocytes 6 0 168/258 (65.1%) 21/528 (4.0%)
T84 11 0 8/473 (1.7%) 15/968 (1.5%)
T84 12 1/28 d 24/516 (4.7%)a 22/1056 (2.1%)b
SW620 2 0 0/86 (<1.2%) 0/176 (<0.6%)

SW620 5 1/7 d 4/215 (1.9%)c 1/440 (0.2%)

All significance tested by Fisher’s exact test, two sided (except where indicated), results as P-values.

a

Control versus 6TG, P = 0.0108.

b

NS.

c

Control and 0.25 6TG versus 1 6TG, P = 0.1323 (one sided p = 0.0941).
