Immune escape is a frequent occurrence, which limits the duration of antitumor immune responses to radiotherapy. Here, we aimed to ascertain the roles and underlying mechanisms of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in tolerance of breast cancer (BC) to radiotherapy. We first quantified microRNA-21 (miR-21) and PD-L1 expression in BC tissues and cells, followed by identification of the interactions between miR-21, PD-L1, and programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4).

This research aimed to explore the role of miR-135a-5p in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells and its influence on cell viability. Moreover, we aimed to compare effects of miR-135a-5p and miR-494 in HNSCC, which was found to repress expression in oral cancer. The association between miR-135a-5p and was confirmed by green fluorescence protein reporter assay and qRT-PCR.
