The association between Histone 3 Lysine 27 Trimethylation (H3K27me3) and prostate cancer: relationship with clinicopathological parameters

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is well established that genetic and epigenetic alterations are common events in prostate cancer, which may lead to aberrant expression of critical genes. The importance of epigenetic mechanisms in prostate cancer carcinogenesis is increasingly evident. In this study, the focus will be on histone modifications and the primary objectives are to map H3K27me3 marks and quantify RAR beta 2, ER alpha,...
