Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a key role in tumor immune escape. PD-1/PD-L1 signal transduction pathway can achieve tumor immune escape by enhancing tumor cell immune tolerance and inhibiting the activation of T lymphocytes. In recent years, immunosuppression, as one of the many mechanisms of tumor immune escape, has also become a research hotspo. The optimized CAR-T cells released immunosuppression by secreting antibodies against checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, CAR-T therapy targeting tumor micro environment and PD-1/PD-L1 pathway are important methods for cancer treatment. This paper summarizes the role of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway in mediating tumor escape in tumor microenvironment, and briefly introduces CAR-T immunotherapy and its TME-related targets.
