Published: May 2023

CD151 is a transmembrane protein implicated in tumor progression and has been shown to regulate various cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to malignancy. More recently, the role of CD151 in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) has gained attention as a potential target for cancer therapy. This review aims to explore the role of CD151 in the TIME, focusing on the therapeutic and clinical perspectives. The role of CD151 in regulating the interactions between tumor cells and the immune system will be discussed, along with the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions. The current state of the development of CD151-targeted therapies and the potential clinical applications of these therapies will also be reviewed. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on the role of CD151 in the TIME and highlights the potential of CD151 as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

Tetraspanins superfamily proteins have been shown to play an important role in several physiological processes and diseases such as cancer. Transmembrane polar residues of tetraspanins have an implication in regulating the process of cancer metastasis. Tetraspanin CD82 has been demonstrated to exert an anti-metastatic role while mutating polar residues in its transmembrane domains (TMDs) abrogates its metastasis inhibitory role.

Platelets are essential for hemostasis and vascular integrity. Platelets recognize dengue virus through the DC-SIGN receptor. Upon pathogen recognition, platelets rapidly modulate the expression of adhesion molecules to trigger immune cell interactions and regulate the immune response.

Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome and multi-organ dysfunction, driven by a dysregulated immune response, including a cytokine storm with elevated proinflammatory cytokine levels. Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune system with a fundamental role in the defense against viral infections. However, during COVID-19 acute infection, they exhibit an altered phenotype and impaired functionality contributing to the immunopathogenesis of the disease.

This study investigates CD151, a protein linked to cancer progression, in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. These patients often have limited treatment options. The study used retrospective analysis to examine 157 adenocarcinoma biopsy specimens and 199 patient cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas, correlating CD151 expression with patient survival.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) affects thyroid health using a mouse model, revealing structural damage to the thyroid with signs like follicular rupture and colloid overflow.
  • Decreased levels of proteins important for thyroid hormone production were observed, although certain thyroid hormone levels in the serum were elevated, indicating a complex response without affecting the HPT axis function.
  • Further analysis found that DEP exposure disrupts thyroid cell adhesion and involves the CD151/α3β1/Rac1 signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in the mechanism of thyroid injury.
