We analyzed gene expression profile in MM cells treated with or without demethylating agent to screen for the tumor related genes silenced by DNA methylation. We next examined the effect of DNA hypomethylation in retrotransposon for chromosomal aberration. Patients in MM with chromosomal deletion showed significant lower LINE-1 methylation levels than patients without deletion suggesting that LINE-1 hypomethylation are associated with chromosomal instability. Our ongoing study is to decipher the methylome in MM cells using high-throughput next-generation sequencer ; and assess the association between the methylome status and the genome status.
