Liao et al. also showed that IL-17A upregulated EMT-inducing transcription factors including Twist1, N-cadherin and Snail, as well as PD-L1 in NSCLC cells, resulted in increased cell invasion, colony formation ability, tumor growth, and response to anti-PD-L1 therapy [61]. This evidence concerns the gene TWIST1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
