Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs)‐derived osteopontin (OPN) upregulates PD‐L1 expression and predicts poor prognosis in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

Abstract Background Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) is widely known as an immune checkpoint molecule in tumor cells. Osteopontin (OPN) is expressed by both tumor cells and tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs), and both autocrine and paracrine of OPN are considered to be involved in tumor metas...
