Abstract
: Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) is a cell surface inhibitory receptor with multiple biological activities over T cell activation and effector functions. LAG-3 plays a regulatory role in immunity and emerged some time ago as an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule. A systematic research was performed using the PubMed and ClinicalTrial.gov databases. Articles published up to 2021 meeting the inclusion criteria were investigated. LAG-3 expression has been linked to in-creased pathology in certain infections, such as the ones caused by Salmonella, Plasmodium para-sites, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), non-pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), in hepatitis B virus (HBV), human papillomavirus (HPV), chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV), lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). Here, we will discuss the impaired control of cell-mediated immunity associated with high accumulation of LAG-3 after infection, in most cases associated with a high bacterial/viral load, a reduced survival rate or persisting metabolic and inflammation disorders. Interestingly, the in vitro blockade of PD-1/LAG-3 interactions enhanced cytokine production in response to some of these infections.
期刊介绍:
Founded in November 2016, Electronic Journal of Emerging Infectious Diseases is not only the first national academic journal in the field of emerging infectious diseases in China, but also an internationaljournal available to researchers worldwide and dedicated to publish novel, hypothesis-driven and high-impact original research across the entire spectrum of the field of infectious diseases. The aim of this journal is to prompt and popularize the state-of-the-art advancements concerning the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases to medical practitioners and researchers, and thus improve public practice in prevention and control of infectious diseases worldwide.
