{Abstract}: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has constituted over 80% of the lung cancer population with a poor prognosis. Over the past decade, immunotherapy has been constructed in the enlargement of immune checkpoint inhibitors as a promising approach for NSCLC treatment. Evading the immune system using the PD-1/PD-L1 axis is an intelligent way for cancers, and T cells cannot respond fully and confront cancer. Recently, the miR-138 was reported as a PD-L1 regulator in NSCLC. However, its inhibitory impact on T-cell exhaustion has not been characterized. The present study aims to impair PD-L1 (B7-H1) expression in Adenocarcinoma cell lines using miR-138-5p and determines how it prevents Jurak cell exhaustion. To gain the purpose, first, 18 highly significant dysregulated miRNAs containing hsa-miR-138 and CD274-mRNA network were detected in NSCLC based on bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, our study revealed a high level of miR-138-5p could make significant changes like PDL1 downregulation, proliferation, and mortality rate in A549/Calu6 cells. We also simulate cancer environmental conditions by culturing Jurak cells and NSCLC cell lines under the influence of stimulator cytokines to show how miR-138-5p survives Jurak cells by targeting PD-L1/PD-1pathway.
