CD274, also known as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), is a pivotal immune checkpoint protein involved in regulating T-cell responses. Its discovery dates back to the early 2000s when it was identified as a member of the B7 family of co-stimulatory molecules. Initially characterized for its role in immune evasion, CD274 gained significant attention due to its association with cancer progression and therapeutic implications. NCI-H82, a small cell lung cancer cell line, has been instrumental in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying CD274 expression and regulation. The establishment of Human CD274/Luc Stable Cell Line - NCI-H82 provided a valuable tool for studying CD274 dynamics and screening potential immunotherapeutic agents targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. This cell line, developed through rigorous experimentation and molecular engineering, represents a cornerstone in advancing our understanding of immune checkpoint modulation and its implications in cancer therapy.
Researchers investigated the function of CD274 Luc Stable Cell Line in elucidating the regulatory role of lncRNA-NKX2-1-AS1 in cancer-related pathways. They observed higher levels of NKX2-AS1 and NKX2-1 in lung adenocarcinomas, suggesting independent regulation. Loss-and-gain of function experiments revealed NKX2-1-AS1's role in controlling genes in trans, including PD-L1. NKX2-1-AS1 negatively regulated CD274/PD-L1 expression and interfered with NKX2-1 protein binding to the CD274-promoter. This sheds light on NKX2-1-AS1's potential role in limiting lung carcinoma cell motility and immune evasion, providing insights into lung epithelial cell tumorigenic capabilities.
Figure 1. A 1.1 kb segment preceding the human CD274 gene's transcription start site was synthesized and inserted into the pGL3-basic plasmid (Promega) to create CD274-Luc. The regulatory effect of NKX2-1-AS1 on CD274 expression in A549 cells was investigated using the CD274 Luc Stable Cell Line. NKX2-1 protein binding to the CD274 promoter was assessed via ChIP-qPCR analysis. Overexpression of NKX2-1-AS1 resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in CD274 expression, indicating its potential role as a regulator of the immune checkpoint CD274. (Kathuria H, et al., 2018)
