BRD4 inhibition impairs DNA mismatch repair, induces mismatch repair mutation signatures and creates therapeutic vulnerability to immune checkpoint blockade in MMR-proficient tumors

Background Mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) is a well-recognized biomarker for response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Strategies to convert MMR-proficient (pMMR) to dMMR phenotype with the goal of sensitizing tumors to ICB are highly sought. The combination of bromodomain containing 4 (BRD4)...
