Tumor angiogenesis and immunity show an inverse correlation in cancer progression and outcome. Here, we report that ZBTB46, a repressive transcription factor and a widely accepted marker for classical dendritic cells (DCs), controls both tumor angiogenesis and immunity. Zbtb46 was downregulated in both DCs and endothelial cells by tumor-derived factors to facilitate robust tumor growth.

Despite these critical unmet needs, pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) efforts have historically struggled with high drug failure rates, low approval rates, and other challenges. Drug repurposing is one approach to recovering R&D costs and meeting unmet demands in therapeutic markets.
