It has been reported that inhibition of the epigenetic regulator DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is associated with improved response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Here the authors show that conditional deletion of Dnmt1 in endothelial cells is sufficient to promote T cell infiltration, reduce tumor growth and enhance ICB response in preclinical models.
