PD-L1 is an immunomodulatory ligand that negatively regulates T cell activation, numerous studies have shown that many human cancers display PD-L1 over-expression which correlates with patients’ prognosis. Clinical studies have demonstrated that PD-L1 blockade can significantly inhibit tumor progression and improve patient prognosis. In the present study, the researchers aimed at understanding better the biological functions of PD-L1 in cancer cells. PD-L1 was shut on and off in oesophagal cancer cell lines to study its function and showed that PD-L1 expression significantly promoted the cell viability, migration and phenotypes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (a hallmark of cancer). The present study reveals a tumor cell-autonomous role of PD-L1 signalling which strengthens its potential as treatment target.
