Background: To date, the main clinical interest in DPP4 is focused on its inhibition in diabetic patients to prolong the half-life of incretins. Epigenetic alterations resulting from DPP4 inhibition have been poorly explored.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine, whether sitagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor, has effects on the expression of KAT7 and SIRT1 (genes encoding a histone acetyltransferase and a histone deacetylase, respectively) in MCF7 breast cancer cells, which play an essential role in modulating the epigenetic landscape of chromatin.
