Global Levels of Specific Histone Modifications and an Epigenetic Gene Signature Predict Prostate Cancer Progression and Development
1 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic alterations are common in prostate cancer, yet how these modifications contribute to carcinogenesis is poorly understood. We investigated whether specific histone modifications are prognostic for prostate cancer relapse, and whether the expression of epigenetic genes is altered in prostate tumorigenesis. METHODS: Global levels of histone H3 lysine-18 acetylation (H3K18Ac) and histone H3...
