Abstract

Abstract: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown unprecedented efficacy in treating many advanced cancers. Although FDA-approved ICIs have shown promising efficacy in treating many advanced cancers, their application is greatly limited by the low response rate, immune-related adverse events (irAE), and drug resistance. Developing novel ICIs holds great promise to improve the survival and prognosis of advanced cancer patients. T-Cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT) is an inhibitory receptor expressed on T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and T regulatory cells. Increasing reports have shown that the disrupting CD155-TIGIT axis could activate the immune system and restore antitumor immune response. This review briefly summarized the role of TIGIT in tumor immune escape and targeting CD155-TIGIT axis drugs in preclinical and clinical trials for cancer immunotherapy.
