Figure 8. Model depicting the role of the NANOG/HDAC1 axis in resistance to anti–PD-1 therapy.
(A) NANOG drives immune refractoriness against anti–PD-1 therapy by blocking the antitumor immunity cycle. (B) Molecular pathway through which the NANOG/HDAC1 axis represses T cell infiltration of tumors and tumor cell death by CTL-mediated killing.
