AbstractThe B7 family consists of structurally related, cell-surface proteins that regulate immune responses by delivering costimulatory or coinhibitory signals through their ligands. Eight family members have been identified to date including CD80 (B7-1), CD86 (B7-2), CD274 (programmed cell death-1 ligand [PD-L1]), CD273 (programmed cell death-2 ligand [PD-L2]), CD275 (inducible costimulator ligand [ICOS-L]), CD276 (B7-H3), B7-H4, and B7-H6. B7 ligands are expressed on both lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues. The importance of the B7 family in regulating immune responses is clear from their demonstrated role in the development of immunodeficiency and autoimmune diseases. Manipulation of the signals delivered by B7 ligands shows great potential in the treatment of cancers including leukemias and lymphomas and in regulating allogeneic T-cell responses after stem cell transplantation.

Abstract Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1(PD-L1) binds with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) to inhibit the responses of T cells. PD-L1 is significantly upregulated on tumor cells and blocking the PD-L1/PD-1 signal has become an important target of immunotherapy in clinic. At present, some old drugs of non-antitumor have been found that could play the effect of anti-tumor. Maprotiline, as a tetracyclic antidepressant, has been widely used for treating mental depression. Here, we study the anti-tumor effect of maprotiline by strengthening the immune response of mice. In vitro, treatment with maprotiline inhibits the proliferation and migration of B16 cells, increases the cell apoptosis. Importantly, treatment with maprotiline reduces the expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissue, prompts the ratios of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and NK cells in spleens, increases the infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in tumor-tissues. In brief, we determine that maprotiline could prompt the anti-tumor immune response by inhibiting the PD-L1 in mice. This study may find a new inhibitor of PD-L1, which provides a new drug treated tumor in clinical.
