Abstract

When human cancer cells with silencing of the CDH1 gene associated with CpG island methylation and histone deacetylation were treated with histone deacetylase inhibitors, alteration in recruitment of methyl-CpG binding proteins (MBPs) to the methylated CDH1-CpG island was observed, as well as altered histone acetylation status. This change was independent of the histone deacetylase inhibitor used. These results suggest that histone hyperacetylation provides a more open chromatin structure conformation for the recruitment of additional MBPs.
