Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) causes several cancers such as Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). PD-1/PD-Ls immune checkpoint molecules play important roles in cancer cell immune escape. The expression of PD-1/PD-Ls and their regulation by oncogenic viruses, in particular KSHV, remain largely undefined. Here we demonstrate strong PD-1/PD-Ll/PD-L2 expression in KS tissues from a cohort of HIV + patients. We found that induction of KSHV lytic reactivation significantly upregulates PD-L1 expression on infected tumor cells, potentially through several major cellular signaling pathways and IL-1 beta, which may represent a novel mechanism for virus-associated tumor cell immune escape.
