In prostate cancer cells, Hauptstock et al. (2011) used the histone deacetylase inhibitor depispeptide to reverse DNA hypermethylation and alter the histone modification pattern at GSTP1 promoter, including a reduction of H3K9me2/3 and H3K27me2/3 and an increase of H3K18Ac, thereby inducing GSTP1 mRNA re-expression. This evidence concerns the gene GSTP1 and Familial prostate cancer.
