a Pattern diagram of tumor immune microenvironment. b PD-L1 highly expressed on VECs in tumor tissues inhibits activation of CD8+ T cells and promotes immune escape of tumors. c anlotinib inhibits the expression of PD-L1 on VECs through the AKT pathway. d anlotinib improved the ratio of CD8/FoxP3 and broke the immune barrier by inhibiting the VEC-PD-L1.
