PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Lung cancer continues to be the most prevalent cancer-related mortality globally, responsible for more than 1.8 million deaths per year (Siegel et al. 2024). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~ 85% of all lung cancer cases, an issue that is of significant public health importance and also a target for oncological research (Salih et al. 2025). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Over the last decade, the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the programmed death- 1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD- 1/PD-L1) axis has shifted the treatment landscape for NSCLC, significantly improving survival rates in a particular group of patients (Rizvi et al. 2015). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Nevertheless, with these advancements, a large proportion of NSCLC patients either show a lack of responsiveness to ICIs (primary resistance) or develop resistance ("acquired resistance") over time that significantly restricts their clinical efficacy (Sharma et al. 2017; Rotte 2019). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Immune evasion of NSCLC is significantly attributed to the expression of PD-L1, a transmembrane molecule that binds to PD- 1 receptors located on cytotoxic T cells and induces immune suppression and tumor tolerance. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | PD-L1 overexpression is often linked to poor prognosis, tumor aggression, and poor response to ICIs (Rizvi et al. 2015; Kim and Chen 2016). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | One of the major regulators of PD-L1 expression in the tumor microenvironment is IFN-γ, a key cytokine modulating the immune system. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Although IFN-γ is classically described to have tumor-suppressive effects, paradoxically, it also plays a pro-tumorigenic role by inducing PD-L1 expression, enabling tumor cells to escape immune surveillance (Garcia-Diaz et al. 2017). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | IFN-γ signaling is largely achieved via Janus Kinase—Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway and, in particular, via STAT1. |

PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Upon phosphorylation, STAT1 dimerizes, translocate to the nucleus, and binds to gamma-activated sequence (GAS) motifs of the PD-L1 promoter, in turn increasing the level of PD-L1 transcription (Sumitomo et al. 2022). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | As confirmed by several studies, IFN-γ-induced activation of STAT1 is one of the most potent inducers of PD-L1 expression in NSCLC, which in turn leads to adaptive immune resistance that prevents T-cell-mediated tumor destruction (Drake et al. 2006; Shin et al. 2017). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Since IFN-γ levels are typically increased in the tumor microenvironment of NSCLC, strategies that can inhibit IFN-γ-driven upregulation of PD-L1 promise to be valuable for improving the efficacy of ICIs (Spranger et al. 2013). |

PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | As high PD-L1 expression is associated with poor response to ICIs, understanding natural products (like curcumin) that could regulate IFN-γ-induced PD-L1 expression might provide new strategies for upgrading the outcome of NSCLC treatment. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Although these encouraging results are promising, there are some deficiencies in our knowledge about how curcumin functions in regulating IFN-γ/STAT1 signaling in lung cancer. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Firstly, while previous reports have shown that curcumin can block the phosphorylation of STAT1, they have not specifically evaluated the effect of curcumin on the expression of PD-L1 in NSCLC. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Second, the underlying mechanism of curcumin's inhibitory action on STAT1 is still unknown, especially whether curcumin directly inhibits STAT1 phosphorylation or inhibits its nuclear translocation. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Third, the ability of curcumin to enhance the efficacy of ICIs by decreasing PD-L1 expression has not been extensively studied, and this should be explored. |

PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | A549 cells were treated with 500 U/mL of IFN-γ for 2 h, then analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy to assess p-STAT1 localization. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | In untreated cells, p-STAT1 was primarily detected in the cytoplasm. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Following IFN-γ treatment, increased nuclear localization of p-STAT1 was observed. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | DAPI was used for nuclear staining, and β-actin staining was used to visualize the cytoskeleton Studies reveal that IFN-γ dramatically increases the expression of PD-L1 on cancer cells, mainly by activating the STAT1 signaling pathway. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | To validate this association, we examined PD-L1 upregulation upon IFN-γ treatment in A549 cells. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Western blot analysis revealed a time-dependent increase in PD-L1 protein levels, with minimal expression in untreated control cells. |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | Upon IFN-γ stimulation, PD-L1 levels began to increase at 30 min and 1 h, corresponding with the early activation of STAT1 phosphorylation (p-STAT1, Tyr701). |
PMC12141184 | Curcumin inhibits IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression via reduction of STAT1 Phosphorylation in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. | By 2 h, PD-L1 expression was noticeably upregulated, and by 24 h, it reached its maximum induction (p < 0.01). |
