Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic factors influence stem cell function and other developmental events but their role in prostate morphogenesis is not completely known. We tested the hypothesis that histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity is required for prostate morphogenesis. RESULTS: We identified the presence of class I nuclear HDACs in the mouse urogenital sinus (UGS) during prostate development and found that Hdac 2 mRNA...
