    Identification and Validation of Heart-Specific <t>Methylated</t> CpG Sites in PIH1D1 (A) Workflow illustrating the selection criteria for heart-specific methylated CpG sites (HSMCs). CpG sites were filtered by comparing methylation levels in the left atrium to those in 24 other tissues. Sites with methylation levels below 10% in noncardiac tissues were first selected. CpG sites showing a methylation difference >10% between the left atrium and the average of other tissues were further classified as HSMCs. (B) A total of 33 CpG sites met these criteria and were classified as HSMCs. Heatmap showing the methylation β-values of these 33 HSMCs across 25 different human tissues. (C) Scatter plot showing the β-values of the left atrium (x-axis) compared with the average β-values of 24 other tissues (y-axis) with SD error bars.

(F) Gel-based MSP shows amplicons in primary human cardiomyocytes (HCM), induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs), and AC16 cells but not in GES or breast cancer cell lines. Amplicons were also observed in doxorubicin-treated iPSC-CMs, indicating the specificity of the detected CpG sites to cardiac tissue methylation patterns. In vitro methylated human DNA (IVD) was used as a positive control to validate the specificity and efficiency of the methylation-specific primers. “M” indicates detection of methylated PIH1D1 , while a product in the “U” lane indicates unmethylated PIH1D1 .
