Chromatin-associated protein SIN3B prevents prostate cancer progression by inducing senescence.

Distinguishing between indolent and aggressive prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa) remains a priority to accurately identify patients who need therapeutic intervention. SIN3B has been implicated in the initiation of senescence in vitro. Here we show that in a mouse model of prostate cancer, SIN3B provides a barrier to malignant progression. SIN3B was required for PTEN-induced cellular senescence and prevented progression to invasive PCa. Furthermore, SIN3B was downregulated in human PCa correlating with upregulation of its target genes. Our results suggest a tumor suppressor function for SIN3B that limits PCa progression, with potential implications for the use of SIN3B and its target genes as candidate diagnostic markers to distinguish indolent from aggressive disease.
