Targeting CD200 in Breast Cancer: Opportunities and Challenges in Immunotherapeutic Strategies

Year: 2024

Type: review

Abstract: One of the key factors that contribute to tumor progression and resistance is the immunosuppressive microenvironment of the tumor. CD200 is a recently identified cell surface glycoprotein recognized as an important molecule in breast cancer for its versatile modulation of the immune response via its receptor, CD200R. The interaction between CD200 and CD200R suppresses the immune activities against tumor cells and allows them to be undetected and, in doing so, to escape from the destructive capability of the immune cells. Here, we review recent advances and future trends in CD200-targeted therapies for cancer treatments. We also discuss molecular pathways that include variable expressions across different cancer types and their importance in treatment options.
