| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been suggested that expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation induces PD-L1 on the tumor cells, and that PD-L1 expression can be reduced by EGFR inhibitors in EGFR gene positive lung cancer; however, adenocarcinoma of the lungs in del exon19 Egfr transgenic mouse we established in our lab did not express PD-L1 by the immunostaining，but did express 1.2-fold when compared to controls by flow cytometry.
In the study of human tissue specimen from 2004 to 2008 in resected 25 cases of adenocarcinoma of the lung in Okayama University Hospital, EGFR gene mutation-positive cases in 9/12 (75%), EGFR gene mutations in negative cases 4/13 (31%) were PD-L1 positive. Significant association has been suggested to EGFR gene mutation positive and PD-L1 expression (P = 0.047).
