CD274 and central nervous system cancer: This review systematically elucidates the key mechanisms by which epigenetic regulation promotes immune evasion in gliomas and details three interconnected mechanisms: 1) epigenetic silencing of tumor-associated antigens and antigen-presenting machinery; 2) dysregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion; and 3) dynamic modulation of PD-L1 expression through chromatin remodeling.
