Inhibition of the B7-H3 immune checkpoint limits tumor growth by enhancing cytotoxic lymphocyte function
Open accessAbstract
The interaction between tumor and the immune system is still poorly understood. Significant clinical responses have been achieved in cancer patients treated with antibodies against the CTLA4 and PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoints; however, only a small portion of patients responded to the therapies, indicating a need to explore additional co-inhibitory molecules for cancer treatment. B7-H3, a member of the B7 superfamily, was previously shown by us to inhibit T-cell activation and autoimmunity. In this study, we have analyzed the function of B7-H3 in tumor immunity. Expression of B7-H3 was found in multiple tumor lines, tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells, and macrophages. B7-H3-deficient mice or mice treated with an antagonistic antibody to B7-H3 showed reduced growth of multiple tumors, which depended on NK and CD8+ T cells. With a putative receptor expressed by cytotoxic lymphocytes, B7-H3 inhibited their activation, and its deficiency resulted in increased cytotoxic lymphocyte function in tumor-bearing mice. Combining blockades of B7-H3 and PD-1 resulted in further enhanced therapeutic control of late-stage tumors. Taken together, our results indicate that the B7-H3 checkpoint may serve as a novel target for immunotherapy against cancer.

B7H3 promotes tumor metastasis and invasion via suppression of both CD8+ and CD4+ T cell proliferation and activity.
“B7H3 has been shown to promote tumor metastasis and invasion via suppression of both CD8+ and CD4 + T cell proliferation and activity86,87.”
From The evolving landscape of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for treatment of prostate cancer (2025) · cites this paper as [86]
The ‘B7-H3 regulates anti-tumor CD8+ T cells’ section reports increased CD8+ T-cell proliferation and activity when B7-H3 is absent, and the tumor experiments report fewer lung tumor foci after B7-H3 inhibition. The paper does not establish tumor invasion or suppression of CD4+ T-cell proliferation as part of that mechanism; its ‘NK and CD8+ T cells’ section says CD4+ T-cell depletion did not affect tumor growth in B7-H3-knockout mice.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
