From: IL-17A promotes tumorigenesis and upregulates PD-L1 expression in non-small cell lung cancer
The expression of IL-17A in NSCLC positively correlates with PD-L1 expression. A IHC staining results of IL-17A in NSCLC tumor tissues and paracancerous tissue. The shape of the ruler in the picture is different from the other figures. B IHC staining results of IL-17A in NSCLC with different pathological classifications. Scale bar = 50 μm. C The expression of IL-17A was quantified as the mean density value (MD = IOD/area) and representative plots of the low and high expression groups. D Pie chart showed the proportion of low and high expression of IL-17A and PD-L1 in NSCLC patients. E Patients were divided into low expression group (n = 19) and high expression group (n = 20) according to the expression of IL-17A. The distribution of TPS ratio in two groups. F Differences in TPS scores between the two groups, p < 0.0005. G The correlation between IL-17A and PD-L1 expression in NSCLC tissue. r = 0.6121, p < 0.0001
