      Background:
      The relevance of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) to patient-derived xenograft (PDX) formation and clinicopathological characteristics in early stage lung cancer was studied

      Methods:
      Cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry were carried out to examine proliferation and apoptosis in PC9 and H520 cells transfected with siRNAs. Nod-scid mice were used to establish PDX. Immunohistochemistry was done to investigate PD-L1 expression in tumor tissues.

      Results:
      Proliferation was reduced and apoptosis was induced when PD-L1 was inhibited in the cells. Higher PD-L1 expression rate was observed in the primary tumors with PDX formation than in the tumors without PDX formation. Moreover, PD-L1 was found to be related to smoking, histological types, stages and overall survival in 209 of lung cancer patients.

      Conclusion:
      This study suggests that PD-L1 promotes PDX formation ability and is an independent prognostic marker for the early stage lung cancer patients.
