Overview of Gene Research
Tapbpl, encoding the tapasin-related protein TAPBPR, is involved in the antigen processing and presentation pathway. TAPBPR acts as an MHC-I peptide editor, shaping the final peptide repertoire displayed on the cell surface, which is crucial for mounting effective antiviral and antitumoral immune responses [4,5,6]. It has also been identified as a potential immune checkpoint molecule [1,2].

In mice, administration of recombinant TAPBPL protein significantly decreased the incidence of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), reduced clinical and pathological arthritis scores. This was related to a lower number of activated CD4 T cells, an increased number of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the spleen, and a reduction of Th1/Th17 inflammatory cytokines in the joints and serum. TAPBPL protein also inhibited CII-specific T cell growth, Th1 and Th17 cytokine expression, and reduced the production of CII autoantibodies in the serum, suggesting its potential in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [1]. In addition, in vivo administration of a soluble recombinant human TAPBPL-IgG Fc fusion protein attenuated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice, indicating its role in autoimmune diseases [2]. Genetic association studies have also linked TAPBPL to multiple sclerosis (MS), with higher genetically predicted levels associated with an increased risk of MS [3]. In MS, TAPBPL was found to be upregulated in B cells, CD8+ T cells, and natural killer cells compared with controls [7].

In conclusion, Tapbpl is essential for antigen presentation and immune regulation. Studies using mouse models have revealed its potential as a therapeutic target in autoimmune diseases such as RA and MS. Understanding its function provides insights into immune-mediated disease mechanisms and may lead to new treatment strategies.
