This editorial focuses on the recent article by Yang et al in World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology , which highlights role interlukin-17A promoting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression up-regulated programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/programmed protein ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression. Previous, high PD-1/PD-L1 level was due to hepatitis virus infection leading systemic innate immune tolerance and cluster differentiation 8 + T cells exhaustion, ultimately HCC. Recently, interesting studies have found that malignant metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic/fatty liver disease (MASLD/MAFLD), is former nonalcoholic fatty disease, achieved PD-L1 activated cGAS-STING pathway under lipid accumulation with mitochondrial DNA overflow promote MASLD transformation via escape. These data suggested PD-1 or should be a promising target for preventing delaying non-viral except antiviral therapy
