HDAC2 and cancer: Our results revealed AR, HDAC2, and IKBKE eRNA as critical intrinsic immune suppressors in prostate cancer cells, suggesting that rejuvenating inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit epsilon (IKKε) signaling by targeting IKBKE-e is an actionable strategy to elicit synthetic anticancer immunity in immunologically “cold” cancers such as prostate cancer.
