Abstract:

The malignant phenotype of classical Hodgkin lymphoma(cHL)is partly maintained by epigenetic aberrant,of which consisted mainly abnormal histone methylation and deacetylation.Progress has been made in clinical trials related to the histone deacetylases inhibitors(HDACis)in cHL.There is a close association noted between the epigenetic aberrants and the immune escape in cHL.DNA methyltransferase(DNMT)inhibitors,HDACis and immune checkpoint blockade have shown synergistic effects.Further study to improve the cure rate in cHL by combination strategy is of significant importance.

Key words: Classical Hodgkin lymphoma, Methylation, Acetylation, Immune escape, Immune checkpoint inhibitor
