Objective To explore the curative effect in patients with prostate cancer by 125I implantation with endocrine therapy. Methods Sixty cases of patients with prostate cancer were divided into the experiment group (30 cases) and the control group (30 cases) with or without 125I implantation. The control group were treated by endocrine therapy, the experiment group were treated by 125I implantation based on endocrine therapy. The curative effect were observed. Results The volume of prostate inthe experiment group after 6 month treatment were smaller than that in the control group (P0.05). Conclusion It has significant efficacy in patients with prostate cancer by 125I implantation with endocrine therapy which can improve the level of PSA and KPS scores. The long-term survival situation is satisfactory. This method is worth of generalization in clinic.

AIM:To study the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the evolution of prostate cancer from an an-drogen-dependent state to an androgen-independent state , and the global difference of histone H 3 methylation between an-drogen-dependent and -independent prostate cancer cells .METHODS:The methylation sites and patterns of histone H 3 in androgen-dependent prostate cancer cell line LNCaP and androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line DU 145 were ana-lyzed by heavy methyl stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture ( SILAC) coupled with 2D LC-MS/MS.West-ern blotting was used to verify the results from MS .The differential expression of related methylases and demethylases was tested by real-time PCR.RESULTS:Five methylation sites on histone H3 were found in both cell lines, the patterns of which were as follows: H3K14me2, H3R17me1, H3K36me1, H3K36me2, H3K36me3, H3R72me2, H3K79me1 and H3K79me2.There were 2 different peptides both containing methylated H 3K36,“KSAPATGGVKKPHR” and“KSAPSTG-GVKKPHR”, which were different from the 31th amino acid residue “A” and “S”.The former peptide belonging to his-tone H3 variants, H31T, H31 and H32, was mainly identified in DU145 cells, the total peptide counts of which were much more than that of the latter peptide belonging to histone H 3 variant H31T, suggesting that these 2 cell lines expressed differ-ent histone H3 variants.Mono-and dimethylation of H3K36 were not different between these 2 cell lines, but the trimethyl-ation was significantly higher in DU 145 cells than that in LNCaP cells .Many H3K36 demethyltransferases were decreased in DU145 cells compared with LNCaP cells .CONCLUSION: The differential expression of histone H 3 variants and H3K36 demethyltransferases may result in up-regulation of H3K36 tri-methylation during the evolution of prostate cancer from an androgen-dependent state to an androgen-independent state .
