The structure, expression, and multifaceted role of immune-checkpoint protein VISTA as a critical regulator of anti-tumor immunity, autoimmunity, and inflammation.

Abstract:

:Among various immunoregulatory molecules, the B7 family of immune-checkpoint receptors consists of highly valuable targets for cancer immunotherapy. Antibodies targeting two B7 family co-inhibitory receptors, CTLA-4 and PD-1, have elicited long-term clinical outcomes in previously refractory cancer types and are considered a breakthrough in cancer therapy. Despite the success, the relatively low response rate (20-30%) warrants efforts to identify and overcome additional immune-suppressive pathways. Among the expanding list of T cell inhibitory regulators, V domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) is a unique B7 family checkpoint that regulates a broad spectrum of immune responses. Here, we summarize recent advances that highlight the structure, expression, and multi-faceted immunomodulatory mechanisms of VISTA in the context of autoimmunity, inflammation, and anti-tumor immunity.
