"[Human prostate cancer (PCA) cells characteristically contain hypermethylated CpG island sequences encompassing the transcriptional regulatory region of GSTP1, the gene encoding the pi-class glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1), and fail to express GSTP1 as a consequence of transcriptional silencing. Inactivation of GSTP1 by CpG island hypermethylation, the most common somatic genome alteration yet reported for human PCAs, occurs early during human prostatic carcinogenesis and results in a loss of GSTP1 caretaker function, leaving prostate cells with inadequate defenses against oxidant and electrophile carcinogens.].
