| Research Abstract |
We investigated the effects of prenatal exposure to environmental chemicals on IGF2/H19 and LINE1 methylation. Among 514 pregnant women recruited at Toho Hospital (Sapporo, Japan) during 2002-2005, 267 mother-infant pairs with cord blood samples were subjected to this study. DNA methylation was quantified by bisulfite pyrosequence. Concentrations of PFOS, PFOA, MEHP, Dioxins, PCBs in maternal blood and methylmercury in maternal hair were analyzed into their association with DNA methylation in multiple linear regression models. After adjustment for potential confounders, we observed hypomethylation at IGF2 by PFOA exposure (beta = -1.60, 95% CI: -2.98 to -0.22), hypomethylation at H19 by MEHP exposure (beta = -0.84, 95% CI: -1.68 to -0.00) and hypermethylation at LINE1 by methylmercury exposure (beta = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.07 to 1.36).
