Immune checkpoint therapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis has revolutionised the treatment of solid tumors. However, T cell exhaustion underpins resistance to current anti-PD-1 therapies, resulting in lower response rates in cancer patients. CD28 is a T cell costimulatory receptor that can influence the PD-1 signalling pathway (and vice versa). CD28 signalling has the potential to counter T cell exhaustion by serving as a potential complementary response to traditional anti-PD-1 therapies. Here we discuss the interplay between PD-1 and CD28 in T cell immunotherapy and additionally how CD28 transcriptionally modulates T cell exhaustion. We also consider clinical attempts at targeting CD28; the challenges faced by past attempts and recent promising developments.
靶向PD-1/PD-L1轴的免疫检查点疗法彻底改变了实体瘤的治疗方式。然而,T细胞耗竭是当前抗PD-1疗法耐药的基础,导致癌症患者的缓解率较低。CD28是一种T细胞共刺激受体,可影响PD-1信号通路(反之亦然)。CD28信号传导有可能通过作为对传统抗PD-1疗法的潜在补充反应来对抗T细胞耗竭。在此,我们讨论T细胞免疫疗法中PD-1与CD28之间的相互作用,此外还讨论CD28如何在转录水平上调节T细胞耗竭。我们还考虑了针对CD28的临床尝试;过去尝试所面临的挑战以及近期有前景的进展。
