Demethylation assays in thyroid cancer cell lines (TPC1 and BCPAP). a Pyrogram showing the percentage of basal methylation of MIR21 (unmethylated in both cell lines) and MIR146B (> 50% methylation in both cell lines). b The demethylation in the mapped region of MIR146B was demonstrated after 5-Aza-dC treatment in TPC1 and BCPAP cell lines. BCPAP cell line had no changes in hsa-miR-146b-5p expression and TPC1 cell line presented seven-fold increased expression levels after the induced demethylation
