Elevated levels of O-GlcNAcylation are intricately associated with tumor progression, metastasis, immune evasion, and chemotherapy resistance. Targeting OGT or its downstream effectors represents a promising strategy to overcome drug resistance and enhance therapeutic efficacy. This review innovatively integrates the core perspective of the metabolism-immune-epigenetics regulatory axis.
