Anticancer immune responses are hindered by cis interaction of inhibitory checkpoint SIRPα
Signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) is a macrophage inhibitory receptor that limits phagocytosis and antitumor activity by interacting in trans with CD47 on tumor cells. Here, we found that a component of SIRPα’s inhibitory function occurred independently of CD47. Inhibition occurred because of interactions between SIRPα and CD18 (β2 integrin) in cis on the surface of macrophages, involving SIRPα amino acids distinct from those implicated in the SIRPα-CD47 interaction. This cis interaction prevented activation of CD18, which is necessary for phagocytosis. The combined blockade of SIRPα-CD18 and SIRPα-CD47 was essential for maximizing phagocytosis and suppression of tumor growth in vivo. Thus, inhibitory immune checkpoints such as SIRPα suppress cell activation through a mechanism targeting CD18 in cis, which occurs in addition to engagement by their inhibitory checkpoint ligands in trans. This dual mode of action should be considered when developing inhibitory checkpoint blockades for immunotherapy.
期刊介绍:
Science Immunology is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles in the field of immunology. The journal encourages the submission of research findings from all areas of immunology, including studies on innate and adaptive immunity, immune cell development and differentiation, immunogenomics, systems immunology, structural immunology, antigen presentation, immunometabolism, and mucosal immunology. Additionally, the journal covers research on immune contributions to health and disease, such as host defense, inflammation, cancer immunology, autoimmunity, allergy, transplantation, and immunodeficiency. Science Immunology maintains the same high-quality standard as other journals in the Science family and aims to facilitate understanding of the immune system by showcasing innovative advances in immunology research from all organisms and model systems, including humans.
