The effects of BaP and vitamin E on Pax3 methylation in E10.5 mouse embryos. a Mean methylation level of promoter region (amplicon 1 and amplicon 2) and body region (amplicon 3) within Pax3. b–d Methylation level for specific CpG sites in promoter region (b, c) and body region (d) among control group, BaP-treated group and vitamin E co-supplementation group (n = 24–28). TSS1500, TSS200, 5′URT, and the 1st exon were defined as the promoter region of Pax3 gene in this study. The significance of differences was calculated using ANOVA. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, compared with control group. VE vitamin E
