Abstract :

To test the hypothesis that commonly-used pharmaceutical drugs might cause epigenetic changes, Human hN2 neurons and HEK-293 cells were cultured in the presence of 10 μM citalopram for 10 days and genome-wide epigenetic analysis was subsequently performed using Illumina?s Infinium Human Methylation 450 Bead Chip arrays. DNA methylation changes were detected in numerous genes and non-coding regions compared to controls.
