Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for enhancing antitumor T cell responses in subjects. The method involves administering to the subject in need thereof a composition comprising a demethylating agent in an amount effective to demethylate STING proteins in the tumor cells. This method is particularly useful in subjects with deficient STING expression in the tumor cells. Therefore, also disclosed is a method for treating a tumor in a subject that involves detecting in a biopsy sample from the subject reduced STING expression, reduced cGAS expression, or a combination thereof; and then administering to the subject a demethylating agent in an amount effective to demethylate STING proteins in the tumor cells. The method can further involve administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a STING agonist. The method can further involve administering to the subject tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), such as HLA-matched TILs.
