ABSTRACT
ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling by the mating type switching/sucrose non-fermenting (SWI/SNF) complex is a basic biological event in the body, which is required for all the key processes involved in DNA metabolism such as gene expression, DNA replication, repair, chromosomal recombination and mitosis. In the past few years, increasing evidence supports a crucial role of this complex in prostate cancer development and progression via multiple ways, such as cell cycle regulation, androgen receptor pathway and DNA methylation. The present paper briefly reviews the recent studies on the association between the SWI/SNF complex and prostate cancer.
