DNA methylation and histone methylation\/acetylation of the GCM2 promoter were measured by bisulfite sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation\u2013qPCR. Additionally, we investigated the role of epigenetic modifications on GCM2 and DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) expression in parathyroid (PTH)-C1 cells by treating with 5-aza-2\u2032-deoxycytidine (DAC) and BRD4770 and assessed for GCM2 mRNA and DNMT1 protein levels.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>mRNA and protein expression of GCM2 were lower in sporadic adenomatous than in control parathyroid tissues. This reduction correlated with hypermethylation (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.001) and higher H3K9me3 levels in the GCM2 promoter (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u2005.04) in adenomas. In PTH-C1 cells, DAC treatment resulted in increased GCM2 transcription and decreased DNMT1 protein expression, while cells treated with the BRD4770 showed reduced H3K9me3 levels but a nonsignificant change in GCM2 transcription.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>These findings suggest the concurrent association of promoter hypermethylation and higher H3K9me3 with the repression of GCM2 expression in parathyroid adenomas.
