Function

Inhibitory receptor on antigen activated T-cells that plays a critical role in induction and maintenance of immune tolerance to self (PubMed:21276005). Delivers inhibitory signals upon binding to ligands CD274/PDCD1L1 and CD273/PDCD1LG2 (PubMed:21276005). Following T-cell receptor (TCR) engagement, PDCD1 associates with CD3-TCR in the immunological synapse and directly inhibits T-cell activation (By similarity). Suppresses T-cell activation through the recruitment of PTPN11/SHP-2: following ligand-binding, PDCD1 is phosphorylated within the ITSM motif, leading to the recruitment of the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN11/SHP-2 that mediates dephosphorylation of key TCR proximal signaling molecules, such as ZAP70, PRKCQ/PKCtheta and CD247/CD3zeta (By similarity).The PDCD1-mediated inhibitory pathway is exploited by tumors to attenuate anti-tumor immunity and escape destruction by the immune system, thereby facilitating tumor survival (PubMed:28951311). The interaction with CD274/PDCD1L1 inhibits cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) effector function (PubMed:28951311). The blockage of the PDCD1-mediated pathway results in the reversal of the exhausted T-cell phenotype and the normalization of the anti-tumor response, providing a rationale for cancer immunotherapy (PubMed:22658127, PubMed:25034862, PubMed:25399552).

Activity summary

CTLA4 TIM-3 PD1 LAG-3 and TIGIT are important immune checkpoint proteins that play integral roles in regulating immune responses. Commonly referred to by their official gene symbols these proteins act as negative regulators of immune activation. CTLA4 for instance is a protein with an approximate molecular mass of 25 kDa and is expressed mainly on activated T cells and regulatory T cells. PD1 or Programmed cell death protein 1 shares a similar function and is expressed on T cells B cells and myeloid cells. LAG-3 (Lymphocyte-activation gene 3) and TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) also contribute to immune modulation by limiting T cell activation. These proteins serve as exhaustion markers on T cells indicating immune regulation.

Biological function summary

These checkpoint proteins are part of the immune system's regulatory machinery and function to maintain self-tolerance and control immune responses to prevent tissue damage. For example CTLA4 competes with CD28 for binding to B7 molecules modulating early T cell activation. PD1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 deliver inhibitory signals that reduce T cell activity. TIM-3 interacts with various ligands and has roles in T cell exhaustion. LAG-3 and TIGIT also convey inhibitory signals that reduce the activity of T cells through distinct mechanisms making them key exhaustion markers in the immune system.

Pathways

These immune checkpoints are closely linked to the immune synapse and adaptive immune pathways. CTLA4 and PD1 play central roles in the PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 pathways which are critical for immune homeostasis and tolerance. CTLA4 interacts with CD80 and CD86 part of the CD28 family pathway to modulate T cell responses. PD1 associates with its ligand PD-L1 in pathways that control the fine balance of immunity. LAG-3 and TIM-3 also participate in signaling pathways that regulate T cell exhaustion tying their function to critical immune regulation networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

These immune checkpoint proteins have significant implications in cancer and autoimmune diseases. Dysregulation and overexpression of CTLA4 and PD1 are associated with cancer's ability to evade the immune system marking their importance as exhaustion markers in tumor environments. LAG-3 and TIGIT are also involved with LAG-3 contributing to cancer and autoimmune conditions by interfering with normal immune activity. Autoimmune disorders see alterations in these pathways where inadequate checkpoint function leads to excessive immune activity. Understanding their role is pivotal in developing therapies that target these checkpoint proteins for anti-cancer and autoimmunity treatments.
