Smoking effect on DNA methylation in human blood cell types (1)

Listed in NCBI GEO

Tobacco smoking alters DNA methylation profiles of immune cells which may underpin some of the pathogenesis of smoking-associated diseases.

Description

However, approaches linking smoking-driven epigenetic effects in specific immune cell types with disease risk are limited. We isolated six leukocyte subtypes, CD14+ monocytes, CD15+ granulocytes, CD19+ B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and CD56+ natural killer cells, from whole blood of healthy adult smokers and nonsmokers for epigenome-wide association study (EWAS).
