Abstract
The tumour microenvironment is epigenetically remodelled during progression. We mapped methylation changes in stromal and immune compartments of breast tumours using sorted-population bisulfite sequencing. Cancer-associated fibroblasts acquired a distinct hypomethylated enhancer landscape driving chemokine secretion, while infiltrating T cells showed progressive methylation at effector loci consistent with exhaustion.
