Research Abstract |
In this study, we hypothesized that cancer cells actively alter immune environment in the peritoneal cavity I order to disseminate. By using human ovarian cancer samples as well as mouse ovarian cancer peritoneal dissemination model, we thoroughly analyzed the association between immune environment and cancer dissemination. We found that PD-L1, an immune suppressive molecule, is expressed or induced by encountering the immune cells in the peritoneal cavity. Forced expression of PD-L1 resulted in the promotion of peritoneal dissemination, while inhibition of PD-L1 inhibited it. These result indicate that, in ovarian cancers with high PD-L1 expression, this molecule could be a therapeutic target to suppress peritoneal dissemination.
