Chemoprevention of Prostate Cancer, HDAC Inhibition and DNA Methylation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SFN-rich broccoli sprout extract capsules and Gelatin capsule containing microcrystalline cellulose. for Prostate Cancer Prevention. Completed, enrolled 98 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The objective of the study is to identify mechanisms by which compounds found in cruciferous vegetables alter gene expression via epigenetic modifications (changes in gene expression) and may prevent prostate cancer development. The investigators have found that sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, inhibits histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity in human colorectal and prostate cancer cells.
