    Background
    

    Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer death. Programmed death 1 (PD-1) in T cells and its ligand PD-L1 in tumor cells play a key role in immune checkpoint therapy and had applied to advanced stage lung cancer. Migration and invasion of tumor cells is a prerequisite for tumor cell metastasis. Since intrinsic PD-1 receptor functions promote tumor growth was reported, we will investigate the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, the impact on chemosensitivity, and clinical outcome.

    In vitro experiments, lung adenocarcinoma CL1-5 cells, derived from CL1-0 cells. We prepared PD-L1-overexpression human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, derived from CL1-0 cells (CL1-0-PD1). Migration and invasion ability were assessed by transwell assay; EMT marker and regulator were evaluated by Western blotting. We also observed the morphology of cells. To explore interaction between PD1 and PD-L1, we added anti-PD-1 antibody into CL1-0, CL1-5, and CL1-0-PDL1 cells, and then test migration, invasion and cellular morphology. We also suppressed PD-1 by siRNA to test whether PD-1/PDL-1 interaction contributed to the EMT change. Further, we evaluated cellular proliferation and chemosensitivity by MTT assay and colony formation assay. We will correlate PD-L1 expression in lung cancer cells with clinical outcome by IHC stain clinically.

    In CL1-5 cells, derived from CL1-0 cells, with high PD-L1 expression possessed higher cellular migration ability than the parental CL1-0 cells with less PD-L1 expression. CL1-0 cells with PD-L1 overexpression had more expression of EMT (epithelial mesenchymal transition) regulator and mesenchymal marker. We also observed that CL1-5 and CL1-0-PDL1, which had more PD-L1 expression, are shaped like spindles; while CL1-0 cells are more rounded. Therefore, PD-L1 up-regulated cell migration and invasiveness in human lung adenocarcinoma cells and promotes EMT.

    After adding anti-PD1 antibody in CL1-5, CL1-0, and CL1-0-PDL1 cells, migration and invasion ability decreased. These result indicated anti-PD-1 antibody block the link between PD-1 and PD-L1 in cancer cells. The phenomenon was confirmed by PD-1 siRNA. Therefore, PD-1/PD-L1 axis regulated cancer cells migration and invasiveness. PD-L1 expression also decreased cellular proliferation and had little influence on chemsensitivity. Finally, we found that higher PD-L1 expression was correlated with lymph node metastasis in clinical specimen.

    Lung adenocarcinoma cells with higher PD-L1 expression promote cell migration, invasiveness, EMT, and little chemoresistance. PD-L1 expression lowers proliferation rate. PD-1 and PD-L1 interaction on lung adenocarcinoma cells contribute cellular migration and invasiveness.
