Abstract:Disulfiram (DSF) is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). DSF significantly increases expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), which may enhance immunosuppression and immune escape of tumors. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of combined treatment of DSF and anti-PD-L1 in NSCLC resistance. The viability and apoptosis of A549 cells were detected by the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression levels of ATPase copper-transporting β (A… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
