MAP2K7 and neoplasm: The triple inhibition with an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, the MEK inhibitor and the Ido-1 inhibitor demonstrated significant antiproliferative and proapoptotic activity on ex-vivo NSCLC samples; at the same time the triple combination kept increased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by both PBMCs and tumor spheroids in order to sustain the immune response and simultaneously decreased the expression of other checkpoint (such as CTLA-4, Ido-1 and TIM-3) thus promoting an immune-reactive and inflamed micro-environment.
