Histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation of miRNA genes in HMEC and HMF. Homo sapiens

Normal cell type specific histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation of miRNA genes. HMEC and HMF represent two distinct differentiated cell type present in mammary gland each with a distinct phenotype, a distinct epigenotype as well as distinct miRNA expression pattern. The aim of the study was to determine how epigenetic modifications including histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation affect miRNA expression. Overall design: Two cell types HMEC vs. HMF. Biological replicates: 3 pairs of HMEC-HMF of 3 distinct genotypes. Immunoprecipitation using anti-histone H3 dimethylated at lysine 9 (CS200587, Millipore).
