The present teachings provide RNA molecules, including asymmetric interfering RNAs (aiRNAs), that are capable of reducing or inhibiting cancer cell's immune-evasion mechanisms by modulating the expression of immune checkpoint proteins; compositions thereof; and methods of using thereof. For example, one of the RNA molecules includes an antisense strand and a sense strand, where the antisense strand consists of 19-23 nucleotides, the sense strand consists of 14-17 nucleotides, where the sense strand is complementary to the antisense strand; and where the antisense strand comprises a sequence that is complementary to a target nucleotide sequence in an mRNA that encodes a ligand to PD-1.
