Low doses of drugs that change how DNA is packaged can make cancer cells display more of what marks them as abnormal, potentially waking up immunotherapy in cold tumours.
Hypomethylating agents de-repress endogenous retroviruses and cancer-testis antigens and induce viral mimicry through interferon signalling, and HDAC or EZH2 inhibition can restore antigen presentation machinery. Trials combining epigenetic agents with checkpoint blockade in colorectal and lung cancer have been mostly small, with variable schedules and no pharmacodynamic gating. Dose and schedule, rather than the concept, are probably the reason for inconsistency.
Two bottleneck pages and 32 idea pages on OnCo cite this paper by its DOI; this record gives the citation a page of its own so a reader can follow it without leaving OnCo. Read the abstract above alongside the citing pages listed under Related; the record was created automatically from the Europe PMC entry and its figures have not been checked by hand.
One of the most cited trial reports Europe PMC returns for EZH2 in Colorectal cancer, so it is a natural first reading for anyone weighing the idea it is linked from. The record was linked automatically by title and abstract; read the abstract above and the paper itself before relying on any figure.
