A CpG island with 82 CGs located at positions £¿387 to +103 from TSS was represented in detail. b¨Cd Percentages of methylation in these positions in two breast tumor cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB231) and one melanoma cell line (MDA-MB435) before (ctrl) and 6 days after 5-aza-dC treatments (1£¿¦ÌM). The percentage of DNA methylation (y-axis) is shown as average C/T ratios. Graphs represent mean percent DNA methylation at each CpG and its position relative to TSS (n£¿=£¿5). e Real-time PCR analysis of NDRG4 expression in MCF-7, MDA-MB231 and MDA-MB435 before (control) and 6 days after 5-aza-dC treatments. Expression levels relative to MCF-7 control cells and normalized to GAPDH endogenous control. Error bars represent SEM of biological replicates (n£¿=£¿3). p£¿<£¿0.05 by two-tailed t tes %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6450950/
