Inhibiting DNA Methylation Causes an Interferon Response in Cancer via dsRNA Including Endogenous Retroviruses

DNA methyltransferase inhibitors upregulate endogenous retroviruses in tumor cells to induce an growth-inhibiting immune response. High expression of the genes associated with the anti-viral response seems to potentiate a response to immune checkpoint therapy.

Molecular Pathways: At the Crossroads of Cancer Epigenetics and Immunotherapy

Epigenetic regulation allows heritably modulating gene expression profiles without modifying the primary sequence of gDNA. Under physiologic conditions, epigenetic patterns determine tissue-specific gene expression landscapes, gene imprinting, inactivation of chromosome X, and preservation of genomi…
