CD137 (ILA/4-1BB), a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, is one of the most important T cell costimulatory molecules. Interaction of this molecule with its ligand transmits a two-way signal that activates both T lymphocyte and antigen presenting cells. The soluble form of CD137 (sCD137) reduces the activity of its membrane isoform and is associated with T lymphocyte activation-induced cell death. Recombinant CD137-Fc may be used to treat cancers, autoimmune disorders and viral infections. It may also be useful for management of coronavirus infection. The 1276 bp DNA sequence encoded CD137-Fc recombinant protein was prepared and subcloned into lentiviral vector and expressed in transduced CHO-K1 eukaryotic cells. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western blot analysis, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis results demonstrated that the expression of the 70-kDa CD137-Fc molecule was detectable without any degradation. This study helps to confirm previous research suggesting the use of this recombinant protein as a promising solution for the treatment of virus infections. CD137-Fc fusion protein could also make immunotherapy more effective for some diseases. This product is widely used in novel medical treatments, including cell-based immunotherapy such as dendritic cell, CAR T and CAR NK therapy. Its production and usage in research and treatment is noticeable also in current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
CD137(ILA/4-1BB)是肿瘤坏死因子受体超家族的一员,是最重要的T细胞共刺激分子之一。该分子与其配体的相互作用传递双向信号,激活T淋巴细胞和抗原呈递细胞。可溶性形式的CD137(sCD137)会降低其膜异构体的活性,并与T淋巴细胞活化诱导的细胞死亡相关。重组CD137-Fc可用于治疗癌症、自身免疫性疾病和病毒感染。它可能对冠状病毒感染的管理也有用。制备了编码CD137-Fc重组蛋白的1276 bp DNA序列,并将其亚克隆到慢病毒载体中,在转导的CHO-K1真核细胞中表达。十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳、蛋白质免疫印迹分析和酶联免疫吸附测定分析结果表明,可检测到70 kDa的CD137-Fc分子表达,且无任何降解。本研究有助于证实先前的研究,即该重组蛋白有望用于治疗病毒感染。CD137-Fc融合蛋白还可使某些疾病的免疫治疗更有效。该产品广泛应用于新型医学治疗,包括基于细胞的免疫治疗,如树突状细胞、嵌合抗原受体T细胞和嵌合抗原受体自然杀伤细胞疗法。在当前的2019冠状病毒病大流行中,其在研究和治疗中的生产及应用也值得关注。
