SUMO2 Deletion Changes Chromatin Accessibility and Enhances Cytotoxic T Cell Activation and Tumor Infiltration

M.D. Neranjan Tharuka, Dai-Hua Chen, Maria Luisa J Amaral…·Yuan Chen

This study shows that deleting SUMO2 in CD8+ T cells enhances their activation, tumor infiltration, and anti-tumor effects by altering chromatin accessibility and gene expression.

Immunomodulation of Pancreatic Cancer via Inhibition of SUMOylation and CD155/TIGIT Pathway

Jorge De la Torre, Utsav Joshi, Himangshu Sonowal…·Rebekah Ruth White

This study shows that combining SUMO E1 inhibition with TIGIT blockade enhances anti-tumor immunity in pancreatic cancer by reducing regulatory T cells and improving T cell reactivity.
