PD-1 signaling in primary T cells
Open accessAbstract
Summary: Programmed death‐1 (PD‐1) is a cell surface molecule that regulates the adaptive immune response. Engagement of PD‐1 by its ligands PD‐L1 or PD‐L2 transduces a signal that inhibits T‐cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytolytic function. While a great deal is known concerning the biologic roles PD‐1 plays in regulating the primary immune response and in T‐cell exhaustion, comparatively little is known regarding how PD‐1 ligation alters signaling pathways. PD‐1 ligation is known to inhibit membrane‐proximal T‐cell signaling events, while ligation of the related inhibitory molecule cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte antigen‐4 appears to target more downstream signaling pathways. A major obstacle to an in‐depth understanding of PD‐1 signaling is the lack of physiologic models in which to study signal transduction. This review focuses on: (i) signaling pathways altered by PD‐1 ligation, (ii) factors recruited upon PD‐1 phosphorylation, and (iii) exploring the hypothesis that PD‐1 ligation induces distinct signals during various stages of immune‐cell differentiation. Lastly, we describe models to dissect the function of the PD‐1 cytoplasmic tail using primary cells in the absence of agonist antibodies.

“it is suggested that recruitment of SH2-domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatases (SHP-1 and/or SHP-2) to the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM) within the PD-1 cytoplasmic tail inhibits signaling events, particularly PI3K/AKT activation, downstream signals of the T-cell receptor [34], and in turn results in T cell dysfunction.”

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.
