Immunological and physiological changes of exercise-released lactate on tumors: an important and new research window by Amir Hossein Ahmadi Hekmatikar, Arsham Entesari, Hossein Shirvani

“…In the cancer immune cycle, the immune checkpoint PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 collaborate to facilitate immune escape and promote tumor progression (Keir et al., 2008). In this context, a study revealed that lactate can enhance the expression of PD-L1 on tumor cells, suggesting that lactate may have a protective effect against tumors by increasing PD-L1 expression (Feng et al., 2017). …”
