Utilization of negative checkpoint regulators (NCRs) for cancer immunotherapy has garnered significant interest with the completion of clinical trials demonstrating efficacy. While the results of monotherapy treatments are compelling, there is increasing emphasis on combination treatments in an effort to increase response rates to treatment. One of the most recently discovered NCRs is VISTA (V-domain Ig-containing Suppressor of T cell Activation). In this review, we describe the functions of this molecule in the context of cancer immunotherapy. We also discuss factors that may influence the use of anti-VISTA antibody in combination therapy and how genomic analysis may assist in providing indications for treatment.
随着证明疗效的临床试验完成,利用负性检查点调节因子(NCRs)进行癌症免疫治疗已引起广泛关注。虽然单药治疗的结果令人信服,但为了提高治疗反应率,人们越来越重视联合治疗。VISTA(含V结构域免疫球蛋白的T细胞活化抑制因子)是最近发现的NCRs之一。在这篇综述中,我们描述了该分子在癌症免疫治疗背景下的功能。我们还讨论了可能影响抗VISTA抗体在联合治疗中应用的因素,以及基因组分析如何有助于提供治疗指征。
