T cell-based immunotherapies have demonstrated effectiveness in treating diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) but predicting response and understanding resistance remains a challenge. To address this, we developed syngeneic models reflecting the genetics, epigenetics, and immunology of human FL and DLBCL. We show that EZH2 inhibitors reprogram these models to re-express T cell engagement genes and render them highly immunogenic. EZH2 inhibitors do not harm tumor-controlling T cells or CAR-T cells. Instead, they reduce regulatory T cells, promote memory chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) CD8 phenotypes, and reduce exhaustion, resulting in a decreased tumor burden. Intravital 2-photon imaging shows increased CAR-T recruitment and interaction within the tumor microenvironment, improving lymphoma cell killing. Therefore, EZH2 inhibition enhances CAR-T cell efficacy through direct effects on CAR-T cells, in addition to rendering lymphoma B cells immunogenic. This approach is currently being evaluated in two clinical trials, NCT05934838 and NCT05994235, to improve immunotherapy outcomes in B cell lymphoma patients.
