Background: Radiation therapy is a primary treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its effectiveness can be diminished by various factors. The over-expression of PD-L1 has been identified as a critical reason for radiotherapy resistance. Previous studies have demonstrated that nifuroxazide exerts antitumor activity by damaging the Stat3 pathway, but its efficacy against PD-L1 has remained unclear. In this study, we investigated whether nifuroxazide could enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy in HCC by reducing PD-L1 expression. Methods: This study investigated the effects of Nifuroxazide on hepatocellular carcinoma using HepG2 cells and female C57BL/6 mice. HepG2 cells were irradiated and treated with different concentrations of Nifuroxazide, and various parameters were evaluated. Female C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups and a hepatocellular carcinoma model was established. Each group received different treatments and observations were recorded. Spleens and tumor tissues were isolated from the mice and analyzed for tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, and lymphocyte protein expression. T-cell subsets and the percentage of NK cells in the spleens were determined using flow cytometry. Results: Our results showed that nifuroxazide significantly increased the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiation therapy by inhibiting cell proliferation and migration while increasing apoptosis in vitro. Additionally, nifuroxazide attenuated the up-regulation of PD-L1 expression induced by irradiation, which may be associated with increased degradation of PD-L1 through the ubiquitination-proteasome pathway. Furthermore, nifuroxazide greatly enhanced the efficacy of radiation therapy in H22-bearing mice by inhibiting tumor growth, improving survival, boosting the activation of T lymphocytes, and decelerating the ratios of Treg cells in spleens. Importantly, nifuroxazide limited the increased expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissues induced by radiation therapy. This study confirms, for the first time, that nifuroxazide can augment PD-L1 degradation to improve the efficacy of radiation therapy in HCC-bearing mice.
