    Abstract Sequencing of cancer genomes has demonstrated that driver mutations occur in every component of the transcriptional machinery including histones that comprise the nucleosome. Histone mutations may affect the "tail" residues subject to post-translational modification and can compromise the structural integrity of the histone octamer.

    Abstract Background: Epigenetic mechanisms regulate chromatin accessibility patterns that govern interaction of transcription machinery with genes and their cis-regulatory elements. Mutations that affect epigenetic mechanisms are common in cancer. Because epigenetic modifications are reversible many anticancer strategies targeting these mechanisms are currently under development and in clinical trials.
    Main body: Here we review evidence suggesting that epigenetic therapeutics can deactivate immunosuppressive gene expression or reprogram tumor cells to activate antigen presentation mechanisms. In addition, the dysregulation of epigenetic mechanisms commonly observed in cancer may alter the immunogenicity of tumor cells and effectiveness of immunotherapies.
    Conclusions: Therapeutics targeting epigenetic mechanisms may be helpful to counter immune evasion and improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies.

    Abstract Alterations of epigenetic proteins that modulate the gene repressive lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me) are recurrent features in cancers, including multiple myeloma (MM). The histone demethylase UTX/KDM6A, mutated in up to 10% of cases of MM activates genes by removing the H3K27me3 repressive histone mark, counteracting EZH2. RNA-sequencing studies showed that UTX upregulated genes in association with loss of H3K27me. Treatment of MM cell lines with an EZH2 inhibitor preferentially slowed growth of

    Abstract Genes encoding histone proteins are recurrently mutated in tumor samples, and these mutations may impact nucleosome stability, histone post-translational modification, or chromatin dynamics. The prevalence of histone mutations across diverse cancer types suggest that normal chromatin structure is a barrier to tumorigenesis. Oncohistone mutations disrupt chromatin structure and gene regulatory mechanisms, resulting in aberrant gene expression and the development of cancer phenotypes. Examples of oncohistones include the histone H3 K27M mutation found in pediatric brain cancers that blocks post-translational modification of the H3 N-terminal tail and the histone H2B E76K mutation found in some solid tumors that disrupts nucleosome stability. Oncohistones may comprise a limited fraction of the total histone pool yet cause global effects on chromatin structure and drive cancer phenotypes. Here, we survey histone mutations in cancer and review their function and role in tumorigenesis.

    Abstract DNA demethylating agents are approved for some blood malignancies and are under active investigation in solid tumors, but how these drugs work has remained unclear. In this issue of Cell, two groups show that these agents activate a toxic cellular antiviral program through transcriptional activation of endogenous retroviral sequences.

    Abstract Background: Prior studies on the association between asthma and cancer show inconsistent results. This study aimed to generate additional evidence on the association between asthma and cancer, both overall, and by cancer type, in the United States.
    Method: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using 2012-2020 electronic health records and claims data in the OneFlorida+ clinical research network. Our study population included a cohort of adult patients with asthma (n = 90,021) and a matching cohort of adult patients without asthma (n = 270,063). We built Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association between asthma diagnosis and subsequent cancer risk.
    Results: Our results showed that asthma patients were more likely to develop cancer compared to patients without asthma in multivariable analysis (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.36, 99% confidence interval [CI] = 1.29-1.44). Elevated cancer risk was observed in asthma patients without (HR = 1.60; 99% CI: 1.50-1.71) or with (HR = 1.11; 99% CI: 1.03-1.21) inhaled steroid use. However, in analyses of specific cancer types, cancer risk was elevated for nine of 13 cancers in asthma patients without inhaled steroid use but only for two of 13 cancers in asthma patients with inhaled steroid use, suggesting a protective effect of inhaled steroid use on cancer.
    Conclusion: This is the first study to report a positive association between asthma and overall cancer risk in the US population. More in-depth studies using real-word data are needed to further explore the causal mechanisms of asthma on cancer risk.
