摘要
Programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1(PD-L1)is a significant immune checkpoint,and the dysfunction of this axis contributes to tumor metastasis and immune escape.PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK signal network induces PD-1/PD-L1 expression and facilitates tumor progression.Transcriptional factors such as hypoxia induced factors,PTEN,p53,CDK5,BRD4,STAT modulate PD-1/PDL1 expression.PD-1/PD-L1 level is also regulated via epigenetic and post-translational manner.The underlying mechanisms mentioned above may provide potential targets for tumor treatment.At present,the combination therapy of PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies plus small molecular inhibitors has achieved good outcomes in tumor treatment.
