Shared PRAME epitopes are T-cell targets in NUT carcinoma

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>NUT carcinoma is a rare but highly lethal solid tumor without an effective standard of care. NUT carcinoma is caused by bromodomain-containing <i>NUTM1</i> fusion oncogenes, most commonly <i>BRD4::NUTM1</i>. BRD4::NUTM1 recruits p300 to acetylate H3K27 forming expansive stretches of hyperacetylated chromatin called "megadomains" with the overexpression of corresponding oncogenes, including <i>MYC</i>. We hypothesized that transcriptional dysregulation caused by BRD4::NUTM1 would…
