Waaler et al. show that a tankyrase inhibitor, G007-LK, decreases WNT/β-catenin and YAP signaling, sensitizing tumors to anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint therapy in mice. This study suggests that a combinatorial therapy using tankyrase inhibition can be used to overcome β-catenin-mediated resistance to immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma.
