HOTAIR Up-Regulation Activates NF-κB to Induce Immunoescape in Gliomas

BackgroundCheckpoint blockade therapies targeting programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and its receptor programmed cell death 1 promote T cell-mediated immune surveillance against tumors and have been associated with significant clinical benefit in cancer patients. The long-stranded non-coding RNA HOTA...
