Repression of the KAI1 metastasis suppressor gene is closely associated with malignancy and poor prognosis in many human cancer types including prostate cancer. Since gene repression in human cancers frequently results from epigenetic alterations by DNA methylation and histone modifications, we examined whether the KAI1 gene becomes silenced through these epigenetic mechanisms in prostate cancer.
