Background/Objectives: DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic mechanism involved in gene expression regulation. This study examines promoter methylation of CYP2E1 in healthy liver, intestinal mucosa, as well as pathological liver samples, alongside in in vitro cell models. Methods: First, in tissue samples from the liver, duodenum, jejunum, and colon of healthy organ donors, CYP2E1 promoter methylation was quantified using the EpiTect Methyl II PCR System, while gene expression was determined by quantitative rea…
