Background
DNA methylation (DNA methylation) refers to a chemical modification process in which active methyl groups are transferred to specific bases in a DNA strand under the catalysis of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) with S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor. In mammalian genomes, DNA methylation occurs mostly at the 5-position carbon atom of cytosine in CpG island dinucleotides. DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays an important regulatory role in the growth, development, gene expression pattern, and stability of the genome of an individual without altering the DNA sequence, and is stably transmitted during development and cell proliferation. In recent years, a great deal of research shows that abnormal methylation of DNA has a close relation with the occurrence, development and canceration of tumors.
