Abstract
Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is highly expressed in a variety of cancer cells and suggests a poorer prognosis for patients. The natural compound isorhamnetin (ISO) shows promise in treating cancers and causing damage to canine mammary tumor (CMT) cells. We investigated the mechanism of ISO in reducing PD-L1 expression in CMT cells. Clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) was used to mediate CD274 knockout in U27 cells. Then, monoclonal cells were screened and cultured. Nucleotide sequencing and expression of PD-L1 were detected. Additionally, we examined cell migration, invasion, and damage. Immunofluorescent staining of PD-L1 was examined in U27 cells. The signaling pathways were measured by Western blotting. Murine xenotransplantation models and murine immunocompetent allograft mammary tumor models were established to evaluate the effect of ISO therapy. Expression of Ki-67, caspase3, and PD-L1 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. A pull-down assay was used to explore which proteins could bind to ISO. Canine EGFR protein was purified and used to detect whether it directly binds to ISO using a surface plasmon resonance assay. ISO inhibited the EGFR-STAT3-PD-L1 signaling pathway and blocked cancer growth, significantly increasing the survival rate of healthy cells. The cell membrane receptor EGFR was identified as a direct target of ISO. ISO could be exploited as an antineoplastic treatment of CMT by targeting EGFR to suppress PD-L1 expression.
