Summary

This study seeks to identify defects in immune activation or regulation that may affect a subset of patients with CP/CPPS. This subset appears to have a reduced ability to mount a regulatory immune response, while simultaneously eliciting an exaggerated activated immune response. The defects that we demonstrate appear to be linked to altered methylation of genes involved in both immune regulation and immune activation. The aims of this study will provide definitive evidence of a role for epigenetic changes in immune cells in patients with CP/CPPS.
