Description
Summary:The interaction between TF binding and DNA methylation is increasingly recognized as a key player in the regulation of gene expression. However, the role of this interaction in regulating ICAM1 expression in breast cancer has not been elucidated. CpG methylation in the ICAM1 promoter is negatively correlated with ICAM1 expression, and ICAM1 expression is significantly positively correlated with DNMT and TET3 expression in breast cancer. TF binding attenuates ICAM1 promoter CpG methylation and promotes ICAM1 transcription. DNA methylation regulation enhances ICAM1 expression in breast cancer by promoting the transcription of transcription factors. In terms of mechanisms, RELA and STATs recruit TET3 to prevent DNMT-mediated DNA methylation, thereby maintaining CpG island hypomethylation in the ICAM1 promoter. Therefore, TF occupancy limits DNA methylation and affects ICAM1 expression in breast cancer.
