Glioma cells produce soluble PD-L1 via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to suppress CD8+ T cell activity
Soluble programmed death ligand 1 (sPD-L1) is emerging as a novel prognostic marker, potentially replacing PD-L1 for assessing prognosis and immunotherapy effectiveness. However, little is known about sPD-L1. This study aimed to assess sPD-L1's potential as a biomarker and explore its origin and biological function. The study found sPD-L1 concentration in plasma is linked to worse overall survival (OS) in glioma. Patients with high Ki-67 expression, IDH-wild type or high-grade have higher level of sPD-L1. Notably, sPD-L1 concentration is positive correlations with tumor volume in patients and mice. Mice plasma with varying sPD-L1 concentration was co-cultured with CD8+ T cells to investigate sPD-L1 activity and function. We conclude that glioma cells produce sPD-L1 through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which interacts with the PD-1 receptor on CD8+ T cells, inhibiting their function by reducing IFN-γ levels. Wnt inhibitors combined with PD-L1 inhibitors can enhance the anti-tumor effect by further reducing sPD-L1 levels.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Basis of Disease addresses the biochemistry and molecular genetics of disease processes and models of human disease. This journal covers aspects of aging, cancer, metabolic-, neurological-, and immunological-based disease. Manuscripts focused on using animal models to elucidate biochemical and mechanistic insight in each of these conditions, are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts should emphasize the underlying mechanisms of disease pathways and provide novel contributions to the understanding and/or treatment of these disorders. Highly descriptive and method development submissions may be declined without full review. The submission of uninvited reviews to BBA - Molecular Basis of Disease is strongly discouraged, and any such uninvited review should be accompanied by a coverletter outlining the compelling reasons why the review should be considered.
