Abstract
Two recent reports in Nature highlight a novel mechanism of immunoevasion that relies on the SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (SETDB1)-dependent epigenetic suppression of endogenous retroelements in melanoma cells. Because SETDB1 is highly expressed by the stem cell compartment, these findings delineate an innovative strategy for restoring cancer stem cell immunosurveillance.Entities:
