Our recent in vitro data have shown that PD-L1 expression is activated in BMDMs as early as 2 hours after S. aureus infection [16], but the present study has found that robust expression of SLC7A11 appears after 12 hours of infection, it is reasonable to postulate that these two molecules might play distinct roles in initiation and potentiation of the suppressive effect on ROS levels, respectively, in the context of persistent S. aureus infection. Recent studies have highlighted PD-L1 as a negative regulator of M1 polarization and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages, processes associated with ROS production and NF-κB pathway activation [40,41]. While we did not assess the effect of SLC7A11 and PD-L1 on macrophage polarization, both our present and previous work [16] have demonstrated their inhibitory effects on ROS production and the NF-κB pathway in S. aureus-infected BMDMs. ...
