Abstract
The small, heavily glycosylated protein CD24 is primarily expressed by many immune cells and is highly expressed mostly in cancer cells. As one of the most crucial biomarkers of cancers, CD24 is frequently highly expressed in solid tumors, while tumor-associated macrophages express Siglec-10 at high levels, Siglec-10 and CD24 can interact on innate immune cells to lessen inflammatory responses to a variety of disorders. Inhibiting inflammation brought on by SHP-1 and/or SHP-2 phosphatases as well as cell phagocytosis by macrophages, the binding of CD24 to Siglec-10 can prevent toll-like receptor-mediated inflammation. Targeted immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has lately gained popularity as one of the best ways to treat different tumors. CD24 is a prominent innate immune checkpoint that may be a useful target for cancer immunotherapy. In recent years, numerous CD24/Siglec-10-related research studies have made tremendous progress. This study discusses the characteristics and workings of CD24/Siglec-10-targeted immunotherapy and offers a summary of current advances in CD24/Siglec-10-related immunotherapy research for cancer. We then suggested potential directions for CD24-targeted immunotherapy, basing our speculation mostly on the results of recent preclinical and clinical trials.
