Colocalization of Inflammatory Response with B7-H1 Expression in Human Melanocytic Lesions Supports an Adaptive Resistance Mechanism of Immune Escape

TL;DR: Induction of the B7-H1/PD-1 pathway may represent an adaptive immune resistance mechanism exerted by tumor cells in response to endogenous antitumor activity and may explain how melanomas escape immune destruction despite endogenous antitUMor immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms regulating PD-L1 expression on tumor and immune cells.

TL;DR: Understanding complex mechanisms underlying PD-L1 display in the TME may allow treatment approaches mitigating expression of this immunosuppressive ligand, to enhance the impact of PD-1 blockade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Expression of Immune-Regulatory Genes Associated with PD-L1 Display in Melanoma: Implications for PD-1 Pathway Blockade

TL;DR: Functional annotation clustering based on whole-genome expression profiling revealed pathways upregulated in PD-L1+ melanomas, involving immune cell activation, inflammation, and antigen processing and presentation, which elucidate the complexity of immune checkpoint regulation in the tumor microenvironment.
