Trophoblast cells and many cancer cells that harbor foreign antigens may evade immunity by epigenetic silencing of key immune response genes, including MHC class I and II and CD40. Chromatin active agents, such as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), induce immune response gene expression but often the expression levels are low and the cells lack a robust antigen presentation response. We show here that pre-treatment of trophoblast cells and certain cancer cells with agents that activate stress pathways (Ras oncogene, PMA or H2O2) and induce senescence can substantially enhance the induction of immune response genes (MHC class II, CD40, MICA, MICB) by HDACi and restore a vigorous IFN-gamma response in trophoblast cells and tumor cells. These results could potentially impact the development of novel anti-cancer therapeutic strategies. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
