Aberrant DNA methylation is deeply involved in prostate carcinogenesis. However, inducers of aberrant methylation in the prostate are almost unknown. Here, we investigated whether androgen excess can induce aberrant methylation or not, using a rat prostate cancer model. We first identified two marker genes, methylated in testosterone/DMAB-induced invasive adenocarcinomas, in addition to three genes previously isolated. Next, we analyzed temporal profiles of methylation levels in the dorsolateral lobe of rats, and found that aberrant methylation of two genes (Amn1, Mmp23) was induced during the testosterone treatment. Androgen excess did not induce mRNA expression of DNA methyltransferases in the rat prostrate. In contrast, it induced infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils in the prostate. These results demonstrated that androgen excess can induce aberrant DNA methylation in the prostate, and suggested that inflammatory response underlies aberrant methylation induction.

异常DNA甲基化与前列腺癌的发生密切相关。然而，前列腺异常甲基化的诱导因子几乎是未知的。在这里，我们使用大鼠前列腺癌模型研究雄激素过量是否会诱导异常甲基化。我们首先确定了两个标记基因，在睾酮/ dmab诱导的侵袭性腺癌中甲基化，以及之前分离的三个基因。接下来，我们分析了大鼠背外侧叶甲基化水平的时间谱，发现在睾酮治疗期间诱导了两个基因（Amn1, Mmp23）的异常甲基化。雄激素过量不诱导大鼠前列腺DNA甲基转移酶mRNA表达。相反，它诱导前列腺淋巴细胞和中性粒细胞浸润。这些结果表明，雄激素过量可以诱导前列腺异常DNA甲基化，并提示炎症反应是异常甲基化诱导的基础。
