Abstract

Epigenetic silencing mechanisms are increasingly thought to play a major role in the development of human cancers, including prostate cancer. The two major epigenetic regulatory mechanisms involve alterations in DNA methylation and histone acetylation status. Promoter CpG island hypermethylation and histone hypoacetylation, catalysed by DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) respectively, are associated with transcriptional repression. Evidence in other cancers suggests the two mechanisms are dynamically linked, yet few studies have examined the potential interaction of the two pathways in prostate cancer. Here we report a synergistic, apoptotic effect of treatment with a demethylating agent and a histone deacetylase inhibitor on cultured prostate cancer cells, with associated re-expression of the putative anti-proliferative agent oestrogen receptor beta.
