Abstract: The present invention provides a means to modulate gene expression in vivo in a manner that avoids problems associated with CRISPR endogenous protein knock-out or knock-in strategies and strategies that provide for correction, or alteration, of single nucleotides. The invention includes inserting into the genome a nucleotide encoding a heterobifunctional compound targeting protein (dTAG) in-frame with the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding an endogenously expressed protein of interest which, upon expression, produces an endogenous protein-dTAG hybrid protein. This allows for targeted protein degradation of the dTAG and the fused endogenous protein using a heterobifunctional compound.

Abstract: Inhibition of bromodomain proteins in antigen presenting cells is shown herein to be more inflammatory, to display lower expression of the immunosuppressive molecule PDL1, and to be capable of restoring the responsiveness of tolerant T-cells. Therefore, disclosed is a method for promoting T-cell activation during cancer immunotherapy in a subject that involves administering to a subject undergoing cancer immunotherapy a composition comprising a bromodomain inhibitor. Also disclosed is a method for treating cancer in a subject, comprising co-administering to the subject a bromodomain inhibitor and an immunostimulatory agent.
