Dataset on DNA methylation and gene expression changes induced by 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine in Syrian golden hamster fetal cell cultures

ABSTRACT: The Syrian hamster (SH) is an animal model used in virology, toxicology, and carcinogenesis, where a better understanding of epigenetic mechanisms is required. Finding genetic loci regulated by DNA methylation may assist in the development of DNA methylation-based in vitro assays for the identification of carcinogens. This dataset informs on the regulation of gene expression by DNA methylation. Primary cultures of SH male fetal cells (sex determined by differences in kdm5 loci on the X and Y chromosome) were exposed for 7 days to the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (20 µM) from which a morphologically transformed colony was collected and reseeded. The colony bypassed senescence and sustained growth. After 210 days of culture, the cells were collected and divided in 16 aliquots to create 4 experi
