Figure 1 Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression was up-regulated in cell lines after conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. (A) Growth inhibition of the A549, A459/X, A549/DDP, PC9, PC9/R, and H520 cell lines after delivery of 2 Gy of radiation per fraction by clone formation assay. (B) The expression of PD-L1 in these six cell lines by Western blot. (C) The expression of PD-L1 after conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (0, 2, 4, and 6 Gy in 2 Gy per fraction). (D) The expression of PD-L1 was increased after 6 Gy was delivered in three fractions in vitro by flow cytometry. GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Figure 2 Down-regulating programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) could alleviate radiation resistance by promoting apoptosis. (A and B) Radiotherapy plus anti–PD-L1 therapy significantly inhibited cell migration in A549/X cell lines. (C) Apoptosis rates of A549, A549-si-PD-L1, A549/X, and A549X/si-PD-L1 cell lines by flow cytometry. (D) Apoptosis-related proteins of A549, A549-si-PD-L1, A549/X, and A549X/si-PD-L1 cell lines.

Figure 3 Radiotherapy may up-regulate programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathways. (A) The expression of PD-L1, p-AKT, p-STAT3, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) of A549/X in A549, A549-si-PD-L1, A549/X, and A549X/si-PD-L1 cell lines. (B) The expression of of E-cadherin, vimentin, Snail, and N-cadherin in A549, A549-si-PD-L1, A549/X, and A549X/si-PD-L1 cell lines. (C) The expression of PD-L1, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and tripartite motif containing 21 (TRIM21) in A549, A549-si-PD-L1, A549/X, and A549X/si-PD-L1 cell lines. (D) TRIM 21 may directly bond with PD-L1 via immunoprecipitation. GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Figure 4 Radiotherapy in combination with anti–programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody synergistically enhanced antitumor immunity by reducing the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells and promoting the accumulation of CD8-positive T cells. (A) Radiotherapy (6 Gy delivered in three fractions, once a day) in combination with anti–PD-L1 antibody effectively enhanced the inhibition of tumor growth when compared with anti–PD-L1 alone (p < 0.01) and radiotherapy alone (p < 0.01). (B–E) The expression of PD-L1, CD8-positive T cells, tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (CD4 positive, Fox3p-positive), and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (LyGr-positive, CD11b-positive) in a Lewis lung cancer model treated with anti–PD-L1 alone, radiotherapy alone, anti–PD-L1 plus radiotherapy, and vehicle.

Figure 5 Two representative cases revealing the correlation between programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and response to radiotherapy. (A) Patient A with negative PD-L1 expression (IHC 0), who achieved a partial response to radiotherapy, had accumulated CD8-positive T-cell infiltration (IHC 3), reduced tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (IHC 1), and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (IHC 1). (B) Patient B with PD-L1 overexpression (IHC 2), who achieved stable disease in response to radiotherapy, had reduced CD8-positive T-cell infiltration (IHC 1) and accumulated tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (IHC 3) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (IHC 3).
