Next Generation Sequencing Methylation Profiling in Skeletal Muscle Pre- and Post-Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

Description

Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation have been found to affect metabolic processes, which leads to conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. The aim of this project was to validate differentially methylated cytosines (DMCs) identified in skeletal muscle from seven obese, non-diabetic women pre- and 3 months post- Roux-en-Y…

Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation have been found to affect metabolic processes, which leads to conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. The aim of this project was to validate differentially methylated cytosines (DMCs) identified in skeletal muscle from seven obese, non-diabetic women pre- and 3 months post- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. DNA samples extracted from skeletal muscle were sent to the Mayo Genotyping Core to undergo reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS). Differentially methylated cytosines at chr14.105353824 of the gene CEP170B, chr19.16437949 of the KLF2 gene, chr7.130126082 of MEST, and chr15.62457572 of C2CD4B were captured from the RRBS analysis using MethylSig. Bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) was performed on all DMCs listed above which resulted in no significant changes in methylation post-surgery. It was concluded that an alternate, more precise method should be used for validation of the RRBS, such as pyrosequencing.

Sing unto God (from Judas Maccabeus)

Judas Maccabaeus. Chorus

Passacaglia for violin and cello

He was despised from The Messiah

Semele. Come, zephrs, come ; L'allegro. Let me wander not unseen

L'allegro, il pensieroso ed il moderato. Nightingale aria

Blessed be God (from Chandos anthem, no. XIB Let God arise)

O ruddier than the cherry from Acis and Galatea

Music for the royal fireworks
