Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes most primary liver cancers and is one of the lethal life-threatening malignancies globally. Unfortunately, a substantial proportion HCC patients are identified at an advanced stage that unavailable for curative surgery. Thus, palliative therapies represented by multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) sorafenib remained front-line treatment over past decades. Recently, application immune checkpoint (ICIs), especially targeting PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4 axis, has achieved inspiring clinical breakthrough treating unresectable solid tumors. However, many with poor responses lead to limited benefits in applications, which quickly drawn researchers’ attention regulatory mechanisms checkpoints evasion. Evasion surveillance cancer attributed intricate reprogramming modulation tumor microenvironment. Currently, more studies have found epigenetic modifications, such as chromatin structure remodeling, DNA methylation, histone post-translational non-coding RNA levels, may contribute significantly remodeling microenvironment avoid clearance, affecting efficacy immunotherapy HCC. This review summarizes rapidly emerging progress epigenetic-related changes during resistance ICIs discusses underlying available surmounting resistance. Finally, we summarize advances combining immunotherapy, aiming promote formation combination therapy strategies.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have attracted extensive attention due to their vital roles in tumorigenesis and progression, especially the immunotherapy resistance. Tumor resistance is a crucial factor hindering efficacy of tumor treatments, which can be largely attributed immunosuppressive properties microenvironment. Current studies revealed that cancer-derived ncRNAs are involved formation microenvironment (TIME) through multiple ways. They not only promote expression immune checkpoint ligands (e.g., PD-L1, CD47, Gal-9, CD276) on cancer cell surfaces, but also enhance secretion cytokines TGF-β, IL-6, IL-10, VEGF, chemokines). Cancer-derived could transferred into surrounding immune-related cells extracellular vesicles, thereby inhibiting cytotoxicity CD8+ T NK cells, restraining DC-mediated antigen presentation, inducing phenotype transformation TAMs CAFs, enhancing functions Tregs MDSCs.
