Resistance to chemotherapy occurs in many ovarian cancer cases. Here, the authors show that mir-424(322) expression restores the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to chemotherapy by blocking the PD-L1 immune checkpoint, and find that combining immunotherapy and chemotherapy has a synergistic effect.
