Abstract
Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies have demonstrated prominent clinical effects in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, limited understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of PD-L1 has become one of the biggest challenges for further improving efficacy. In this study, we observed that in wild-type EFGR cell lines A549 and H460, the ubiquitin ligases Cbl-b and c-Cbl inhibit PD-L1 by inactivating STAT, AKT, and ERK signaling. MiR-181a and miR-940 were screened and validated to target Cbl-b and c-Cbl, respectively. Furthermore, in NSCLC tissues, the expression of Cbl-b/c-Cbl is negatively correlated with PD-L1 expression. Taken together, these findings indicated a new regulatory mechanism for PD-L1 in wild-type EGFR NSCLC cell lines by Cbl-b and c-Cbl.
