DNA methylation landscape and signature of CD4+ lymphocytes of lamina propria in Crohn's patients by reduced representation and bisulfite sequencing [RNA-seq]
A genome-wide DNA methylation study was conducted using base resolution bisulfite sequencing for purified intestinal CD4+ cells (resected or biopsied mucosa of a terminal ileum) from 21 patients with Crohn's disease and 12 age/sex matched controls. The sequencing data was analyzed for differentially methylated CpGs (DMCs) and differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Integration was performed with RNA-sequencing data for the same set of samples to verify the functional impact of DNA methylation changes. Overall design: Crohn's disease; CD4+ lymphocytes; DNA methylation; reduced representation bisulfite sequencing; differential methylation; Th17 phenotype; ATAC-sq Case/control study
