Targeting the epigenome to reinvigorate T cells for cancer immunotherapy

Cancer immunotherapy using immune-checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment;however,ICI efficacy is constrained by progressive dysfunction of CD8+tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes(TILs),which is termed T cell exhaustion.This process is driven by diverse extrinsic factors across heterogeneous tumor immune microenvironment(TIME).Simultaneously,tumorigenesis entails robust reshaping of the epigenetic landscape,potentially instigating T cell exhaustion.In this review,we summarize the epigenetic mechanisms governing tumor microenvironmental cues leading to T cell exhaustion,and discuss therapeutic potential of targeting epigenetic regulators for immunotherapies.Finally,we outline conceptual and technical advances in developing potential treatment paradigms involving immunostimulatory agents and epigenetic therapies.
