Together with the prophylactic efficacy of valproate, which influences DNA methylation and histone modification, this points to the involvement of epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetic studies are often performed on leukocytes, but it is unclear to what extent methylation is similar in other tissues. Therefore, we investigated methylation of migraine-related genes that might be epigenetically regulated (CGRP-ergic pathway, estrogen receptors, endothelial NOS, as well as MTHFR) in different migraine-related tissues and compared this to methylation in rat as well as human leukocytes. Further, we studied whether 17ß-estradiol has a prominent role in methylation of these genes. Female rats (n = 35) were ovariectomized or sham-operated and treated with 17β-estradiol or placebo. DNA was isolated and methylation was assessed through bisulphite treatment and mass spectrometry. Human methylation data were obtained using the Illumina 450k genome-wide methylation array in 395 female subjects from a population-based cohort study. We showed that methylation of the Crcp, Calcrl, Esr1 and Nos3 genes is tissue-specific and that methylation in leukocytes was not correlated to that in other tissues. Interestingly, the interindividual variation in methylation differed considerably between genes and tissues. Furthermore we showed that methylation in human leukocytes was similar to that in rat leukocytes in our genes of interest, suggesting that rat may be a good model to study human DNA methylation in tissues that are difficult to obtain. In none of the genes a significant effect of estradiol treatment was observed.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.5263605246161616,"endowment":3.5263605246161616,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"24609082","pmcid":"PMC3946422","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1998349112","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO)","grant_id":"050-060-810","title":"NCHA Subsidiebesluit 2008-2012"}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":1.1836,"citation_percentile":0.75845855,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2015,"count":1},{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":4},{"year":2018,"count":2},{"year":2019,"count":3},{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":2},{"year":2022,"count":2},{"year":2023,"count":8},{"year":2024,"count":4},{"year":2025,"count":4},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"gold","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0087616&type=printable","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0087616&type=printable","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0087616","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0087616","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24609082","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://pure.eur.nl/en/publications/987d626f-8146-4820-977c-7e415e94120c","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/1765/60428","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.814.6950","host_type":""},{"url":"https://doaj.org/article/dc363d27d65b4afa823b15d0c23ceceb","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3946422","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/3946422","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://repub.eur.nl/pub/60428","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://pure.eur.nl/ws/files/47555641/journal.pone.0087616.pdf","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3946422","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3946422?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0087616","host_type":""},{"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0087616","host_type":""}],"fields_of_study":["Migraine and Headache Studies","Epigenetics and DNA Methylation","Breastfeeding Practices and Influences","0301 basic medicine","03 medical and health sciences","0303 health sciences","Animals","Calcitonin Receptor-Like Protein","DNA Methylation","Epigenesis, Genetic","Estradiol","Estrogen Receptor alpha","Female","Humans","Leukocytes","Migraine Disorders","Nitric Oxide Synthase Type III","Ovariectomy","Rats","Receptors, Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide","Receptors, Estrogen"],"mesh_terms":["Animals","Estradiol","Female","Humans","Leukocytes","Migraine Disorders","Ovariectomy","Receptors, Estrogen","Receptors, Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide","DNA Methylation","Epigenesis, Genetic","Estrogen Receptor alpha","Rats","Nitric Oxide Synthase Type III","Calcitonin Receptor-Like Protein"],"keywords":["DNA methylation","Methylation","Epigenetics","Biology","Estrogen receptor","CpG site","Gene","Genetics","Gene expression","Cancer","Nitric Oxide Synthase Type III","EMC NIHES-01-66-01","Science","Migraine Disorders","Ovariectomy","Epigenesis, Genetic","Leukocytes","Animals","Humans","Estradiol","Q","Calcitonin Receptor-Like Protein","R","Estrogen Receptor alpha","Rats","Receptors, Estrogen","EMC MM-01-39-09-A","Medicine","Female","EMC COEUR-09","Research Article","Receptors, Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[{"name":"refseq"}],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-02T09:14:01.894048Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
