Targeting CCR2+ macrophages with BET inhibitor overcomes adaptive resistance to anti-VEGF therapy in ovarian cancer

Abstract

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to contribute to adaptive resistance to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody (AVA) therapy in ovarian cancer. BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal domain) inhibitors (BETi) may have unique roles in targeting TAMs. Our objective was to examine the effects of BETi on TAMs, especially in the context of enhancing the efficacy of AVA therapy.
