GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

bull The parallel development of novel epigenetic drugs and the discovery of multiple oncogenic dependencies epigenetic antagonisms and synthetic lethal relationships has open a new era in epigenetic targeting of solid tumors (CONTEXT)

bull Therapeutic targeting of epigenetic dysfunction may not be limited to the use of epigenetic drugs the role of epigenetic regulation in orchestrating other essential cellular processes such as DNA repair or immunity and connection with metabolism opens additional therapeutic opportunities (BROADER IMPACT)

bull Connections with suppression of tumor-induced inflammation suggests that approaches targeting the anti-tumor immunity or tumor micro-environment might deserve further exploration

FUTURE CHALLENGES

bull tissue- andor subunit-dependent and epigenetic antagonism or synthetic lethal relationships observed in one system may not be translatable to another gt evaluation in the tumor type of interest

bull epigenetic drugs as monotherapy for oligoclonal diseases where the epigenetic alteration serves as oncogenic driver (mostly pediatric hematologic or selected solid malignancies) in polyclonal tumors where the epigenetic alteration is a favoring permissive or secondary event combinations with conventional chemotherapies targeted therapies or immune therapies may be required

bull inhibiting the catalytic activity of some subunitsmdashsuch as EZH2mdashmight not be sufficient to reach a full anti-tumor activity important to discriminate the contribution of the non-catalytic activity of chromatin remodelers to oncogenic events

bull primary and acquired resistance will need to be studied (notably by re-biopsing and molecularly characterizing patients tumors at the occurrence of resistance) and combinatorial approaches should be considered to address this issue

bull It should be remembered that epigenetic modifications are usually reversible

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

bull The parallel development of novel epigenetic drugs and the discovery of multiple oncogenic dependencies epigenetic antagonisms and synthetic lethal relationships has open a new era in epigenetic targeting of solid tumors (CONTEXT)

bull Therapeutic targeting of epigenetic dysfunction may not be limited to the use of epigenetic drugs the role of epigenetic regulation in orchestrating other essential cellular processes such as DNA repair or immunity and connection with metabolism opens additional therapeutic opportunities (BROADER IMPACT)

bull Connections with suppression of tumor-induced inflammation suggests that approaches targeting the anti-tumor immunity or tumor micro-environment might deserve further exploration

FUTURE CHALLENGES

bull tissue- andor subunit-dependent and epigenetic antagonism or synthetic lethal relationships observed in one system may not be translatable to another gt evaluation in the tumor type of interest

bull epigenetic drugs as monotherapy for oligoclonal diseases where the epigenetic alteration serves as oncogenic driver (mostly pediatric hematologic or selected solid malignancies) in polyclonal tumors where the epigenetic alteration is a favoring permissive or secondary event combinations with conventional chemotherapies targeted therapies or immune therapies may be required

bull inhibiting the catalytic activity of some subunitsmdashsuch as EZH2mdashmight not be sufficient to reach a full anti-tumor activity important to discriminate the contribution of the non-catalytic activity of chromatin remodelers to oncogenic events

bull primary and acquired resistance will need to be studied (notably by re-biopsing and molecularly characterizing patients tumors at the occurrence of resistance) and combinatorial approaches should be considered to address this issue

bull It should be remembered that epigenetic modifications are usually reversible

Primary culture Naive CD41 T cells from wild- type or Suv39h1-knockout (Suv39h1 KO) mice differentiated for 7 days under TH2-promoting conditions Secondary culture recultured for 2 days in TH1-promoting conditions

TH2 to TH1 plasticity is shown by the increase in the percentage of cells that wereIFN-g positive in Suv39h1 KO when compared to wild-type

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

bull The parallel development of novel epigenetic drugs and the discovery of multiple oncogenic dependencies epigenetic antagonisms and synthetic lethal relationships has open a new era in epigenetic targeting of solid tumors (CONTEXT)

bull Therapeutic targeting of epigenetic dysfunction may not be limited to the use of epigenetic drugs the role of epigenetic regulation in orchestrating other essential cellular processes such as DNA repair or immunity and connection with metabolism opens additional therapeutic opportunities (BROADER IMPACT)

bull Connections with suppression of tumor-induced inflammation suggests that approaches targeting the anti-tumor immunity or tumor micro-environment might deserve further exploration

FUTURE CHALLENGES

bull tissue- andor subunit-dependent and epigenetic antagonism or synthetic lethal relationships observed in one system may not be translatable to another gt evaluation in the tumor type of interest

bull epigenetic drugs as monotherapy for oligoclonal diseases where the epigenetic alteration serves as oncogenic driver (mostly pediatric hematologic or selected solid malignancies) in polyclonal tumors where the epigenetic alteration is a favoring permissive or secondary event combinations with conventional chemotherapies targeted therapies or immune therapies may be required

bull inhibiting the catalytic activity of some subunitsmdashsuch as EZH2mdashmight not be sufficient to reach a full anti-tumor activity important to discriminate the contribution of the non-catalytic activity of chromatin remodelers to oncogenic events

bull primary and acquired resistance will need to be studied (notably by re-biopsing and molecularly characterizing patients tumors at the occurrence of resistance) and combinatorial approaches should be considered to address this issue

bull It should be remembered that epigenetic modifications are usually reversible

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

bull The parallel development of novel epigenetic drugs and the discovery of multiple oncogenic dependencies epigenetic antagonisms and synthetic lethal relationships has open a new era in epigenetic targeting of solid tumors (CONTEXT)

bull Therapeutic targeting of epigenetic dysfunction may not be limited to the use of epigenetic drugs the role of epigenetic regulation in orchestrating other essential cellular processes such as DNA repair or immunity and connection with metabolism opens additional therapeutic opportunities (BROADER IMPACT)

bull Connections with suppression of tumor-induced inflammation suggests that approaches targeting the anti-tumor immunity or tumor micro-environment might deserve further exploration

FUTURE CHALLENGES

bull tissue- andor subunit-dependent and epigenetic antagonism or synthetic lethal relationships observed in one system may not be translatable to another gt evaluation in the tumor type of interest

bull epigenetic drugs as monotherapy for oligoclonal diseases where the epigenetic alteration serves as oncogenic driver (mostly pediatric hematologic or selected solid malignancies) in polyclonal tumors where the epigenetic alteration is a favoring permissive or secondary event combinations with conventional chemotherapies targeted therapies or immune therapies may be required

bull inhibiting the catalytic activity of some subunitsmdashsuch as EZH2mdashmight not be sufficient to reach a full anti-tumor activity important to discriminate the contribution of the non-catalytic activity of chromatin remodelers to oncogenic events

bull primary and acquired resistance will need to be studied (notably by re-biopsing and molecularly characterizing patients tumors at the occurrence of resistance) and combinatorial approaches should be considered to address this issue

bull It should be remembered that epigenetic modifications are usually reversible

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

bull The parallel development of novel epigenetic drugs and the discovery of multiple oncogenic dependencies epigenetic antagonisms and synthetic lethal relationships has open a new era in epigenetic targeting of solid tumors (CONTEXT)

bull Therapeutic targeting of epigenetic dysfunction may not be limited to the use of epigenetic drugs the role of epigenetic regulation in orchestrating other essential cellular processes such as DNA repair or immunity and connection with metabolism opens additional therapeutic opportunities (BROADER IMPACT)

bull Connections with suppression of tumor-induced inflammation suggests that approaches targeting the anti-tumor immunity or tumor micro-environment might deserve further exploration

FUTURE CHALLENGES

bull tissue- andor subunit-dependent and epigenetic antagonism or synthetic lethal relationships observed in one system may not be translatable to another gt evaluation in the tumor type of interest

bull epigenetic drugs as monotherapy for oligoclonal diseases where the epigenetic alteration serves as oncogenic driver (mostly pediatric hematologic or selected solid malignancies) in polyclonal tumors where the epigenetic alteration is a favoring permissive or secondary event combinations with conventional chemotherapies targeted therapies or immune therapies may be required

bull inhibiting the catalytic activity of some subunitsmdashsuch as EZH2mdashmight not be sufficient to reach a full anti-tumor activity important to discriminate the contribution of the non-catalytic activity of chromatin remodelers to oncogenic events

bull primary and acquired resistance will need to be studied (notably by re-biopsing and molecularly characterizing patients tumors at the occurrence of resistance) and combinatorial approaches should be considered to address this issue

bull It should be remembered that epigenetic modifications are usually reversible

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

bull The parallel development of novel epigenetic drugs and the discovery of multiple oncogenic dependencies epigenetic antagonisms and synthetic lethal relationships has open a new era in epigenetic targeting of solid tumors (CONTEXT)

bull Therapeutic targeting of epigenetic dysfunction may not be limited to the use of epigenetic drugs the role of epigenetic regulation in orchestrating other essential cellular processes such as DNA repair or immunity and connection with metabolism opens additional therapeutic opportunities (BROADER IMPACT)

bull Connections with suppression of tumor-induced inflammation suggests that approaches targeting the anti-tumor immunity or tumor micro-environment might deserve further exploration

FUTURE CHALLENGES

bull tissue- andor subunit-dependent and epigenetic antagonism or synthetic lethal relationships observed in one system may not be translatable to another gt evaluation in the tumor type of interest

bull epigenetic drugs as monotherapy for oligoclonal diseases where the epigenetic alteration serves as oncogenic driver (mostly pediatric hematologic or selected solid malignancies) in polyclonal tumors where the epigenetic alteration is a favoring permissive or secondary event combinations with conventional chemotherapies targeted therapies or immune therapies may be required

bull inhibiting the catalytic activity of some subunitsmdashsuch as EZH2mdashmight not be sufficient to reach a full anti-tumor activity important to discriminate the contribution of the non-catalytic activity of chromatin remodelers to oncogenic events

bull primary and acquired resistance will need to be studied (notably by re-biopsing and molecularly characterizing patients tumors at the occurrence of resistance) and combinatorial approaches should be considered to address this issue

bull It should be remembered that epigenetic modifications are usually reversible
