Researchers find a new targeted approach to shut down prostate cancer growth Prostate cancer relies on genetic "switches," called enhancers, that can turn on tumor-promoting genes. Researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center have discovered histone H2B N-terminal acetylation (H2BNTac), an essential chemical mark of these enhancers. They further implicate two proteins, p300 and CBP, that add these marks, and along with the androgen receptor, turn on enhancers and promote prostate cancer growth.
