Introduction To CD270/HVEM/TNFRSF14 

Drug targets a biomolecule that can directly bind to drugs and then react. Generally, the target refers to a protein, which is related to the cause of disease. The focus of the target began with focusing on tumors and then began to spread to various fields. Introduction to CD270/HVEM/TNFRSF14 protein is a common target in medicine.
HVEM, also known as TNFRSF14, CD270, is the only discovered ligand of BTLA and is one of the members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. HVEM, a member of the TNF receptor family, is a transmembrane protein that structurally contains multiple extracellular cysteine-rich domains (CRD).HVEM is widely expressed in human immune cells, such as dendritic cells, initial T cells and B cells, NK cells, monocytes, and neutrophils. HVEM is also expressed on the surface of various tumor cells, including non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, colorectal cancer, and lymphoma, and plays an important biological role in T cell proliferation, tumor immunity, transplantation immunity, inflammatory response, and autoimmune diseases.

Function of Target CD270/HVEM/TNFRSF14

HVEM can bind to different ligands to produce opposite effects. HVEM binding to BTLA produces immunosuppressive effects and negatively regulates the activation and proliferation of lymphocytes. However, binding to LIGHT or LT-α can stimulate the proliferation and activation of T cells and B cells, which has the effect of inducing an inflammatory response and providing a second stimulatory signal for T cell activation. Signaling by CD270 can activate signaling pathways such as NF-κB and AKT, thereby promoting cell survival and proliferation. In the tumor microenvironment, CD270 activity may be inhibited or overactivated, thereby affecting the immune evasion and immune surveillance of tumor cells.

Gene Pathway of Target CD270/HVEM/TNFRSF14

When CD270 binds with ligands such as LIGHT, LT, and co- α, it can recruit TNFR-related factors (TRAF) and activate the NF- κ B signaling pathway, thus promoting cell survival, and proliferation and playing a role in the inflammatory response. Signaling of CD270 may also be related to the PI3K / AKT signaling pathway, associated with cell survival rate, proliferation rate, and metabolic rate. CD270 exhibits two aspects of properties in immune regulation. HVEM binding to BTLA produces immunosuppressive effects and negatively regulates the activation and proliferation of lymphocytes. However, binding to LIGHT or LT- α can stimulate the proliferation and activation of T cells and B cells, which has the effect of inducing an inflammatory response and providing a second stimulatory signal for T cell activation.
