The TIGIT gene encodes a protein known as T-cell immunoglobulin and ITIM structural domain protein, which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is expressed predominantly on T-cells and natural killer cells.TIGIT is involved in the regulation of immune cell activation, proliferation, and cytotoxicity by interacting with receptors such as CD155 and CD159. TIGIT is a member of the T-cell and natural killer cell family. TIGIT has been found to play an important role in a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

The Jurkat cell line is a human T-cell leukaemia cell line derived from mature T-cells of a patient.Jurkat cells are easy to culture in vitro and have high proliferative capacity and good growth characteristics. In addition, Jurkat cells express a variety of T-cell receptors and cytokines, making them ideal model cells for studying T-cell biology and signal transduction processes.

Overall, the TIGIT gene and its encoded proteins play a key role in immune regulation. And the Jurkat cell line, as a powerful tool for studying T cells, provides an important platform for revealing the function of TIGIT in immune response. Further study of TIGIT and Jurkat cells may provide new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Emerging immunological checkpoint molecule TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) interacts with ligand PVR (poliovirus receptor) to promote immune tolerance and tumor escape, causing T and NK cell anergy. The scientists used in silico mutagenesis and MD simulations to study TIGIT and PVR. Their findings revealed that specific loops within PVR experienced significant intra-molecular rearrangements during the simulations, resulting in increased hydrogen bonding with TIGIT. They identified key residues for interaction and predicted several high-affinity PVR mutants (PVRS72W, PVRS72R, PVRG131V, and PVRS132Q) through biological assays on TIGIT-overexpressing Jurkat cells. These mutants demonstrated a stronger binding affinity and more potent inhibitory effects compared to the wild-type PVR.

Figure 1 illustrates the IL-2 production in Jurkat-hTIGIT cells co-cultured with CHO-K1, CHO-K1-hPVR, and CHO-K1 mutants, highlighting the frequency of IL-2-secreting cells detected via flow cytometry after 48 hours of stimulation. (doi: 10.1186/s12964-020-00701-y)Figure 1. The researchers investigated the biological functions of PVR mutants by transfecting human TIGIT into Jurkat cells, which do not express endogenous TIGIT. They co-cultured these Jurkat-TIGIT cells with CHO-K1 cells expressing either wild-type or mutant PVR. (Zhou X, et al., 2021)

Customer Q&As
What is the TIGIT gene and its function?

A: The TIGIT gene encodes for the TIGIT (T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain) protein, which is a recently discovered inhibitory receptor expressed on the surface of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. TIGIT plays a role in regulating immune responses by inhibiting the activation and function of these immune cells. It does so by interacting with other proteins on the surface of antigen-presenting cells and T cells.

How does the TIGIT gene contribute to immune response regulation?

A: The TIGIT gene contributes to immune response regulation by inhibiting excessive immune activation and preventing autoimmunity. By interacting with the CD226 receptor on T cells and NK cells, TIGIT can inhibit their responses to certain antigens. This inhibition helps maintain immune tolerance and prevents the immune system from attacking healthy cells.

Are there any diseases associated with mutations in the TIGIT gene?

A: Mutations in the TIGIT gene are not commonly associated with specific diseases. However, dysregulation of TIGIT expression or function may lead to alterations in immune responses, potentially affecting the body's ability to mount effective defenses against pathogens or cancer cells.

How is the expression of the TIGIT gene regulated?

A: The expression of the TIGIT gene is regulated by various factors, including cytokines and transcription factors. The activation of T cells and NK cells can lead to the upregulation of TIGIT expression. Additionally, regulatory mechanisms, such as epigenetic modifications and post-translational modifications, can influence the expression of TIGIT, ensuring proper immune responses.
