Interstitial Control-Released Polymer Carrying a Targeting Small-Molecule Drug Reduces PD-L1 and MGMT Expression in Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas with TMZ Resistance. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))

Furthermore, temozolomide (TMZ) resistance caused by O-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) activation and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression leads to immune-cold lesions that result in poorer prognosis...Furthermore, BP inhibited PD-L1 expression, thereby activating T-cell cytotoxicity and increasing interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) secretion. The better therapeutic effect of Cerebraca wafer on recurrent high-grade glioma could occur through re-sensitization of TMZ and reduction of PD-L1.
