Abstract

DNA methylation is a key epigenetic modification involved in various biological processes and diseases. Corneal epithelial wound healing (CEWH) is essential for restoring corneal integrity and transparency after injury. However, the role of DNA methylation in CEWH remains elusive. Here, we investigate the function and underlying mechanism of DNA methylation in regulating CEWH. Dot blots and global methylation assays determined DNA methylation levels during CEWH. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot analysis examined the expression of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B), and miR-200a during CEWH, respectively. MTS assays and flow cytometry were used to analyze human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) proliferation and cell cycle, respectively. The in vitro scratch wound assay assessed HCEC migration and an in vivo murine corneal epithelial debridement model evaluated wound healing. Using bisulfite sequencing PCR, we determined the DNA methylation status of the candidate genes. Transfection of miR-200a mimic or inhibitor assessed the function of miR-200a in HCECs. Rescue experiments were performed to clarify the correlation between DNMT1 and miR-200a/CDKN2B during CEWH. DNMT1 and DNMT3B expre...Continue Reading
