摘　　要：OBJECTIVE Programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1)and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1(IDO1)are immune checkpoints which can be induced by interferon-γ(IFN-γ)in the tumor microenvironment,leading to immune escape of tumors.Myricetin(MY)is a flavonoid distributed in many edible and medicinal plants.The aim of this study is to clarify the effect and the mechanism of MY on inhibiting IFN-γ-induced PD-L1 and IDO1 in lung cancer cells.METHODS Expressions of PD-L1 and major histocompatibility complex-I(MHC-I)were evaluated by flow cytometry and Western blotting,and the expression of IDO1 was measured by Western blotting.qRT-PCR was used to detect their mRNA levels.The function of T cells was evaluated using a co-culture system consist of lung cancer cells and the Jurkat-PD-1 T cell line that overexpressing PD-1.Molecular docking analysis,Western blotting and immunofluorescence were used for mechanism study.RESULTS MY potently inhibited IFN-γ-induced PD-L1 and IDO1 expression in human lung cancer cells,while didn't show obvious effect on the expression of MHC-I.In addition,MY restored the survival,proliferation,CD69 expression and interleukin-2(IL-2)secretion of Jurkat-PD-1 T cells suppressed by IFN-γ-treated lung cancer cells in the co-culture system.Mechanistically,IFN-γup-regulated PD-L1 and IDO1 at the transcriptional level through the JAK-STAT-IRF1 axis,which was targeted and inhibited by MY.CONCLUSION Our research revealed a new insight into the anti-tumor effects of MY which inhibited IFN-γ-induced PD-L1 and IDO1 expression,supporting the potential of MY in anti-tumor immunotherapy.
