Figure Lengend Snippet: RT-qPCR analysis of DNMTs and IL1R2 expression, along with IHC staining (A) RT-qPCR was used to quantitatively analyze the expression profiles of DNMTs and IL1R2 in HBW and LBW placentas ( DNMT3A : p = 0.0264; DNMT3L : p = 0.0016; DNMT1 : p = 0.0069; IL1R2 : p = 0.0156). (B and D) IHC was performed to analyze the protein expression intensity of DNMT3A in HBW and LBW placentas (DNMT3A: p = 0.0059). Scale bars, 50 μm. (C and E) IHC was performed to analyze the protein expression intensity of IL1R2 in HBW and LBW placentas (IL1R2: p = 0.0007). Scale bars, 50 μm. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was assessed by paired Student’s t test, with n = 6 (3 samples in the LBW group and 3 samples in the HBW group).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of 5-Aza treatment on IL1R2 gene expression and methylation levels in PTr2 cells (A) The mRNA expression of IL1R2 in 5-Aza-treated PTr2 cells was measured using RT-qPCR (20 μM: p = 0.0199). “ns” denotes non-significant results ( p > 0.05). (B) MS-PCR measured the methylation levels of the IL1R2 promoter in 5-Aza-treated PTr2 Cells ( p = 0.0005). (C) BS-PCR measured the methylation levels of the IL1R2 promoter in 5-Aza-treated PTr2 cells ( p = 0.0011). Data are represented as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was assessed by unpaired Student’s t test, n = 3.
