Counteraction of Oxidative Stress by Vitamin E Affects Epigenetic Regulation by Increasing Global Methylation and Gene Expression of MLH1 and DNMT1 Dose Dependently in Caco-2 Cells

Table 1

Primer sequences used for MS-HRM analysis. LINE-1-rv contains an additional 5 biotin residue for possible pyrosequencing use. Primer sequences were taken from literature as indicated. Amplicon length and CpG content were determined using BiSearch version 2.53 [65] and Ensembl release 86 database [66].
