After excluding the possibilities of the transcriptional pathway, enhanced lysosomal degradation, and recycling, we found that GOLM1-KD significantly accelerates the degradation of PD-L1 protein, and thus, decreases the PD-L1 level in HCC cells, which could be attenuated by MG132, a proteasome inhibitor. This evidence concerns the gene GOLM1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
