Disease relevance of ICOSLG

 

High impact information on ICOSLG

  • T-cell co-stimulation through B7RP-1 and ICOS [4].
  • The ligand, which has homology to B7 molecules and is called B7-related protein-1 (B7RP-1), is expressed on B cells and macrophages [4].
  • The interaction of B7-related molecules on antigen-presenting cells with CD28 or CTLA-4 antigens on T cells provides a second signal for T cell activation [5].
  • Although both maturing mDCs and pDCs upregulate the expression of CD80 and CD86, only pDCs upregulate the expression of inducible costimulator ligand (ICOS-L) and maintain high expression levels upon differentiation into mature DCs [6].
  • These IL-10-producing T cells are T regulatory cells, and their generation by ICOS-L is independent of pDC-driven Th1 and Th2 differentiation, although, in the later condition, some contribution from endogenous IL-4 cannot be completely ruled out [6].
 

Biological context of ICOSLG

 

Anatomical context of ICOSLG

  • Sequence comparisons suggest that LICOS is the homologue of a molecule expressed by avian macrophages and of a murine protein whose expression is induced in non-lymphoid organs by tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) [11].
  • The human B7RP-1-Fc protein or cells that express membrane-bound B7RP-1 co-stimulate T cell proliferation in vitro [12].
  • TNF-alpha enhances B7RP-1 expression on B cells and monocytes, while it inhibits it on DC [12].
  • Interestingly, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha differentially regulates the expression of human B7RP-1 on B cells, monocytes and dendritic cells (DC) [12].
  • Taken together, our data suggest an important physiological role of ICOS-L in the reactivation of effector/memory T cells on the endothelium controlling the entry of immune cells into inflamed tissue [13].
 

Associations of ICOSLG with chemical compounds

  • Expression of ICOSL was induced on monocytes after integrin-dependent plastic adhesion [14].
  • Inducible costimulator (ICOS) ligand (ICOSL), a B7-related transmembrane glycoprotein with extracellular IgV and IgC domains, binds to ICOS on activated T cells and delivers a positive costimulatory signal for optimal T cell function [7].
  • The mRNA for perforin was increased in sIBM (28.1 +/- 8.7) compared with controls (4.3 +/- 11.2, P = 0.18), and significantly correlated with mRNA of ICOS, ICOS-L and the degree of endomysial inflammation as assessed in coded haematoxylin/eosin tissue sections [10].
 

Regulatory relationships of ICOSLG

  • Both ICOSL and CD152L were up-regulated on monocytes by IFN-gamma but by distinct signaling pathways [14].
  • We found that CD34(bright) cells regardless of their myeloid commitment were ICOSL(-), whereas ICOSL was first expressed when CD34 expression diminished and the myeloid marker CD33 appeared [15].
  • By RT-PCR, RA synovial tissue was shown to express mRNA of B7RP-1 [16].
  • B7-DC and B7-H3 inhibit antigen-stimulated lymphocyte activation while B7-H2 serves in a regulatory capacity, often promoting a Th2 immunophenotype [9].
