Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Investigation of global DNA methylation changes. (a) 5mC expression in mESCs cultured under control conditions or in 2i medium. 2i medium-adapted cells show a significantly lower DNA methylation. Two-tailed t-test, n = 3. (b) Immunofluorescence staining of 5mC. Scale bars equal 20 µm. (c + d) Quantitative fluorescence intensity analysis of 5mC-stained mESCs. 2i medium-cultured mESCs show a significant lower mean intensity and less 5mC-foci/cell (indicated by white arrows in b) when compared with cells cultured in the presence of serum (control). Two-tailed t-test, n = 3.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. Identification of mESC Raman signatures due to an altered global DNA methylation. (a) Raman spectra of mESCs cultured in (i) control and (ii) 2i medium. Raman signatures that can be assigned to DNA bands are indicated by black arrows. The standard deviation is indicated by the gray lines. (b) Statistical analysis of significantly increased Raman bands, which can be assigned to DNA methylation. Two-tailed t-test, n = 85. (c) Score plot of PC 1 and PC 3 shows a grouping tendency of mESCs cultured in control and 2i media. The direction of the gray arrow indicates the loss of DNA methylation. The score mean value of both groups for PC 4 differs significantly from each other. Two-tailed t-test, n = 85 (d) PC 4 loading describes the Raman shifts that vary in 2i-adapted mESCs compared with mESCs cultured in the control medium. Peaks of interest are indicated by black arrows.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. Comparison of Raman spectra from mouse pluripotent stem cells cultured in either control or 2i medium with human colon cancer WT and DNMT−/− cells. (a) 3D score plot of Raman spectra from control mESCs, 2i mESCs as well as human colon cancer WT and DNMT1−/− cells showing PC 2, PC 4 and PC 5. There is a grouping tendency between control mESCs and WT cells (blue shades), as well as 2i mESCs, DNMT1−/− cells (green shades). (b) The grouping tendency is visualized by a box plot of PC 5 score values. It shows significantly lower scores for control mESCs and WT cells when compared with 2i mESC and DNMT1−/− cells. One-way ANOVA, n = 30.
