A significant splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy develops during the progressive growth of Lewis Lung (3LL) tumors in mice. Enlarged spleen and lymph nodes occur because of a pronounced increase in granulocytes in these organs. This granulocytosis in spleen and lymph node was not simply due to recruitment of granulocytes from peripheral blood to spleen and lymph nodes, but also a result of development and/or differentiation of granulocytes from the bone marrow. There was a marked increase in development of myeloid lineage cells, whereas lymphoid populations including T cells and B cells, were dramatically decreased in bone marrow and peripheral blood of 3LL tumor-bearing mice. These data demonstrate that host hematopoiesis shifts from lymphoid to granulocytic development in the 3LL tumor-bearing mice. Interestingly, a somatic mutation of N-Ras gene was found in 3LL tumor cells at codon 61, suggesting that mutated N-Ras may contribute to induction of granulocytosis in 3LL tumor-bearing mice.

PD-L1 is expressed on antigen-presenting cells and tumor cells, thus allows tumor cells to escape immune surveillance. Moreover, targeting PD-L1 was also recommended and selected as important immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) strategy in the treatment of advanced cancers due to the safety and activity. However, the detailed alteration of tumor microenvironment (TME) upon anti-PD-L1 therapy in lung cancer tumor model still needs to be resolved.

Background: The treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is challenging due to immune tolerance and evasion. Salidroside (SAL) is an extract in traditional Chinese medicine and has a potential antitumor effect. However, the mechanism of SAL in regulating the immunological microenvironment of NSCLC is yet to be clarified.

Our previous studies have shown that delicaflavone (DLL), a biocomponent extracted from Hieron, has antitumor activity. However, the role of DLL in the antitumor immune response is unknown. In this study, we tested the potential roles of DLL in antitumor immune response.

Imatinib mesylate is a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor that may induce immunological effects, such as inhibition of immune suppressive cells; but, how it modulates the immune system remains to be completely elucidated. In this study, we showed that cell proliferation of CT26 colon cancer and Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) lung cancer cells was not inhibited by imatinib in vitro, although its administration significantly suppressed the growth of CT26, but not 3LL, subcutaneous tumors, and prolonged survival in CT26 tumor-bearing mice. Further, we examined the expression of immune cell-related molecules in the tumors to elucidate the differences in imatinib-mediated antitumor effects between CT26 and 3LL tumors.

Albanol B (ABN-B), an arylbenzofuran derivative isolated from mulberries, has been shown to have anti-Alzheimer's disease, anti-bacterial and antioxidant activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer effect of this compound against lung cancer cells. The results show that ABN-B inhibited the proliferation of four human lung cancer cell lines (A549, BZR, H1975, and H226) and induced apoptosis, based on the cleavage of caspase-7 and PARP (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase), as well as the downregulation of Bcl-2.
