2 Figure 1 Direct and indirect mechanisms of TIGIT-CD155–induced suppression. Inozume et al. (2016) report that melanomas express high levels of CD155. The engagement of TIGIT on CTLs leads to the recruitment of SHP1 to the ITT domain and abrogation of MAPK signaling. Also activation via CD226 dimerization is blocked. Thus, CTL effector functions are downregulated. In addition, TIGIT+ Treg are enriched in tumor tissues and engagement of TIGIT leads to gene expression and enhanced suppressive function of Treg. CTL, cytotoxic T cells; ITT, immunoreceptor tail tyrosine; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; TIGIT, T-cell Ig and ITIM domain.
