Prostate cancer is (PCa) the second leading cause of cancer death in males in the United State
with 174
650 new cases and 31
620 deaths estimated in 2019. It has been documented that epigenetic deregulation such as histone modification and DNA methylation contributes to PCa initiation and progression. EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2)
the catalytic subunit of the Polycomb Repressive Complex (PRC2) responsible for H3K27me3 and gene repression
has been identified as a promising target in PCa. In addition
overexpression of other epigenetic regulators such as DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) is also observed in PCa. These epigenetic regulators undergo extensive post-translational modifications
in particular
phosphorylation. AKT
CDKs
PLK1
PKA
ATR and DNA-PK are the established kinases responsible for phosphorylation of various epigenetic regulators.
