A study by Azuma K et al. [2] found that inhibition of EGFR signaling with erlotinib led to down-regulation of the expression of PD-L1 in EGFR mutant NSCLC cells but not in those with wild-type EGFR, indicating that the expression of PD-L1 might be dependent on EGFR signaling conferred by activating EGFR mutations. Here, CD274 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
