摘要
Although anti-programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) therapy has shown light in treatment of gastric cancer, only a limited number of patients respond to the treatment. In addition to its immunosuppressive effect, PD-L1 is involved in other functions of tumor cells. Previously study showed that PD-L1 promoted EMT in lung cancer cells. However, the other effect and role of PD-L1 in gastric cancer remains unclear. In the present study, we first demonstrated that PD-L1 promoted the proliferation and migration in gastric cancer cell lines. We found that another STAT family member, STAT5a, is involved in regulating the expression of PD-L1 in gastric cancer. Additionally, Cbl-b interacted and ubiquitated STAT5a, down-regulated the expression of STAT5a and PD-L1. Moreover, bioinformatics predictions and experimental data showed that Cbl-b is a target gene of the microRNA miR-940. We further found that miR-940 promoted the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer in vivo and in vitro. Taken together, our findings suggest that miR-940/Cbl-b/STAT5a axis regulated the expression of PD-L1, which promotes the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells.
