Background Information
Programmed Death-1 receptor (PD-1, also known as CD279) is a type I transmembrane protein and an immunoregulatory receptor of the CD28/CTLA-4 family. It is expressed on activated T cells, B cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, and some thymocytes. PD-1 binds to ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, transmitting co-inhibitory signals that suppress T-cell activation, proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxic activity by dephosphorylating key signaling molecules. This mechanism promotes immune tolerance and prevents autoimmunity but is exploited by tumors to evade immune surveillance, as many tumors upregulate PD-L1. When tumor-expressed PD-L1 engages PD-1 on immune cells, it blocks T-cell activation and promotes immune exhaustion. Monoclonal antibodies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have revolutionized cancer therapy by releasing this immune brake, enhancing anti-tumor immunity and leading to tumor regression in many cancers. Examples include nivolumab and pembrolizumab. This immunotherapy approach is now a major focus in oncology, offering a powerful tool to boost the immune system against cancer and reshape treatment paradigms.
