text MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a), a central regulator within the T cell regulatory network, plays a crucial role in T cell activation. It is broadly expressed across immune cell types, including dendritic cells, macrophages, mast cells, B cells, and T cells, where it influences their development, function, and survival (Taheri et al., 2020). In relation to PD-L1 regulation, miR-34a directly targets the 3' UTR of PD-L1 mRNA. This was demonstrated through a luciferase assay using HL-60 and Kasumi-1 cell lines, where co-transfection with miR-34a resulted in reduced reporter activity, confirming its binding to PD-L1 and subsequent suppression of its expression. Moreover, miR-34a overexpression led to reduced PD-L1 surface levels and decreased T-cell apoptosis (Wang et al., 2015; Yong et al., 2020).
