Definition and Classification

CD274, also known as Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1), is a protein encoded by the CD274 gene. It is a type 1 transmembrane protein and a member of the B7 family of proteins, which are involved in the regulation of immune responses .

Biological Properties

Key Biological Properties: CD274 is a 40kDa protein that plays a crucial role in immune regulation. It is known for its ability to suppress the adaptive immune system .

Expression Patterns: CD274 is expressed on various cell types, including hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells such as T cells, B cells, and various tumor cells .

Tissue Distribution: CD274 is widely distributed in tissues such as the placenta, lung, heart, and various tumor microenvironments .

Biological Functions

Primary Biological Functions: CD274 primarily functions as an immune checkpoint molecule. It binds to its receptor, PD-1, on T cells, leading to the inhibition of T cell activation and cytokine production .

Role in Immune Responses: CD274 plays a significant role in maintaining immune homeostasis by preventing autoimmunity and promoting tolerance to self-antigens .

Pathogen Recognition: CD274 is involved in the immune response to infections by modulating the activity of T cells and other immune cells .

Modes of Action

Mechanisms with Other Molecules and Cells: CD274 interacts with PD-1 on T cells, delivering inhibitory signals that reduce T cell proliferation and cytokine production .

Binding Partners: The primary binding partner of CD274 is PD-1, but it may also interact with other molecules involved in immune regulation .

Downstream Signaling Cascades: Upon binding to PD-1, CD274 activates downstream signaling pathways that lead to the inhibition of T cell receptor signaling and the promotion of T cell anergy and apoptosis .

Regulatory Mechanisms

Transcriptional Regulation: The expression of CD274 is regulated at the transcriptional level by various factors, including cytokines and transcription factors .

Post-Translational Modifications: CD274 undergoes several post-translational modifications, such as ubiquitination, phosphorylation, glycosylation, and palmitoylation, which affect its stability and function .

Applications

Biomedical Research: CD274 is extensively studied in cancer immunotherapy as a target for immune checkpoint inhibitors .

Diagnostic Tools: CD274 expression levels are used as biomarkers for various cancers and are assessed using techniques like immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry .

Therapeutic Strategies: Inhibitors targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction, such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab, are used to enhance anti-tumor immunity in cancer patients .

Role in the Life Cycle

Development: CD274 is involved in the development of immune tolerance during pregnancy and in the prevention of autoimmune diseases .

Aging and Disease: The expression of CD274 increases in various cancers, contributing to immune evasion by tumor cells. It also plays a role in chronic infections and inflammatory diseases .
