Interleukin-22 promotes PD-L1 expression via STAT3 in colon cancer cells.

TLDR
In this article, exogenous IL-22 was found to upregulate PD-L1 expression via the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathway in human colon cancer cells.
Abstract
Blocking the expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a promising approach for the treatment of colon cancer. The binding of PD-L1 to its receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) on immune cells leads to the apoptosis of activated T cells and causes immune escape. However, there is a limited number of patients with colon cancer that can benefit from the inhibition of PD-L1, and the regulation of PD-L1 expression is poorly understood in colon cancer. The present study demonstrated that interleukin-22 (IL-22) and PD-L1 were upregulated in colon cancer tissues and there was a positive correlation between IL-22 expression and PD-L1 expression. In the present study, exogenous IL-22 was found to upregulate PD-L1 expression via the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathway in human colon cancer cells (DLD-1 and primary colon cancer cells). The results of the present study revealed a novel regulatory mechanism of PD-L1 expression in colon cancer, which provides a theoretical basis for decreasing the immune tolerance of colon cancer via IL-22 overexpression.

Smad7 Sustains Stat3 Expression and Signaling in Colon Cancer Cells

TL;DR: First evidence supporting the theory that Smad7 positively regulates Stat3 function in CRC cells is presented, which delineate a novel positive feedback loop that sustains CRC cell behavior and suggest thatSmad7 is a target for therapeutic intervention in patients with such a disease.

Drug Repurposing to Enhance Antitumor Response to PD-1/PD-L1 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

TL;DR: Several types of drugs known to alter the checkpoint are reviewed, either directly via the blockade of PD-L1 or indirectly via an action on upstream effectors to suppress PD- L1 transcription or to induce its proteasomal degradation.
