General Information
Background:
T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains(TIGIT), also named as V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 9 (VSIG9), V-set and transmembrane do-maincontaining protein 3 (VSTM3) and Washington University cell adhesion molecule (WUCAM), is a co-inhibitory molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily that was first discovered in 2009. It consists of an extracellular immunoglobulin variable (IgV) domain, a type I transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoglobulin tail tyrosine (ITT)-like motif. TIGIT is an inhibitory receptor expressed on several types of lymphocytes. Efficacy of antibody blockade of TIGIT in cancer immunotherapy is currently widely being investigated in both pre-clinical and clinical studies. In multiple cancers TIGIT is expressed on tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T cells, helper T cells, regulatory T cells and NK cells, and its main ligand CD155 is expressed on tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells and upregulated on cancer cells, which contributes to local suppression of immune-surveillance.
