Marked Global DNA Hypomethylation Is Associated with Constitutive PD-L1 Expression in Melanoma

Summary: Constitutive expression of the immune checkpoint, PD-L1, inhibits anti-tumor immune responses in cancer, although the factors involved in PD-L1 regulation are poorly understood. Here we show that loss of global DNA methylation, particularly in intergenic regions and repeat elements, is asso...
