Abstract
Background
PD-L1 blockade has been found to be effective in treating multiple malignancies. Combined therapy is proposed to provide better therapeutic effects. Cordycepin, a prominent bioactive compound found in cordyceps, can inhibit the development of various cancers.
Purpose
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of combined anti-PD-L1 antibody and cordycepin in tumor treatment.
Methods
A single-cell RNA sequencing was used to analyze the mechanism of combined treatment.
Results
Combination therapy of anti-PD-L1 and cordycepin significantly inhibited tumor growth by regulating the T cell ratio and improving the function of CD8+T cells. Furthermore, cordycepin promoted the reprogramming of type-II macrophages into type-I macrophages, a process confirmed through flow cytometry analysis of the underlying mechanism.
Conclusion
Our findings demonstrate that the combination of anti-PD-L1 and cordycepin effectively suppressed tumor growth by regulating the proportion of T cells and reprograming type-II macrophages.
背景研究发现,PD-L1 阻断剂可有效治疗多种恶性肿瘤。联合疗法可提供更好的治疗效果。目的:本研究旨在确定抗 PD-L1 抗体和虫草素联合治疗肿瘤的疗效:方法:采用单细胞RNA测序分析联合治疗的机制:结果:抗PD-L1抗体和虫草素联合治疗通过调节T细胞比例和改善CD8+T细胞功能,显著抑制肿瘤生长。此外,虫草素还能促进II型巨噬细胞重编程为I型巨噬细胞,流式细胞仪分析证实了这一过程的内在机制:我们的研究结果表明,抗 PD-L1 和虫草素的联合用药通过调节 T 细胞的比例和 II 型巨噬细胞的重编程,有效抑制了肿瘤的生长。
