Overview of Gene Research
Tigit, also known as T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain, is an inhibitory receptor expressed on lymphocytes. It interacts with ligands CD155 and CD112 expressed on antigen-presenting cells or tumour cells, down-regulating T cell and natural killer (NK) cell functions. Tigit is part of the immune checkpoint pathways and plays a crucial role in hindering the anti-tumour responses, affecting multiple steps of the cancer immunity cycle [1,2,3,4,6,7].
In mouse tumour models, dual blockade of TIGIT and PD-L1 significantly reduces neuroblastoma growth, with complete responses in vivo. Also, in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) mouse models, the effectiveness of PD-1 or TIGIT inhibition was reduced in the absence of CD226, and full restoration of CD226 signaling, and optimal anti-tumour CD8+ T cell responses, requires blockade of TIGIT and PD-1 [5,9]. In another mouse tumour model, anti-TIGIT surrogate antibodies inflamed tumour-associated macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells through Fcγ receptors, driving anti-tumour CD8+ T cells from an exhausted effector-like state to a more memory-like state [8].
In conclusion, Tigit is a key inhibitor in the anti-tumour immune response. Studies using mouse models have revealed its role in cancer, especially in neuroblastoma and NSCLC. Blocking Tigit, especially in combination with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, shows promise in enhancing anti-tumour immunity, providing potential new strategies for cancer immunotherapy [5,8,9].
