Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) affects a large number of individuals worldwide. Despite advancements in surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, satisfactory outcomes have not been achieved. In recent years, the success of drugs targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) has led to breakthroughs in cancer treatment, but systematic summaries on their effectiveness against OSCC are lacking. This article reviews the latest research on the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and the potential of combination therapy based on this pathway in OSCC. Further, it explores the mechanisms involved in the interaction of this pathway with exosomes and protein-protein interactions, and concludes with potential future OSCC therapeutic strategies.
口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)在全球影响着大量人群。尽管手术、放疗和化疗取得了进展,但仍未取得令人满意的治疗效果。近年来,靶向程序性细胞死亡蛋白1(PD-1)和程序性细胞死亡配体1(PD-L1)的药物取得成功,带来了癌症治疗的突破,但缺乏关于其对OSCC有效性的系统总结。本文综述了关于PD-1/PD-L1通路的最新研究以及基于该通路的联合治疗在OSCC中的潜力。此外,探讨了该通路与外泌体相互作用以及蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用所涉及的机制,并以OSCC未来潜在的治疗策略作为结论。
