摘要
VISTA (V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation) is a well-established immune regulatory receptor. However, pre-clinical investigations indicated more complicated influences of VISTA on cancer immunity than previously recognized. Here, we review the current knowledge on the therapeutic phenotypes and molecular mechanisms that underlie the contradictory roles of VISTA in checking anti-cancer immune responses. Furthermore, we highlight the potential indeterminacy of VISTA-targeted strategies in cancer immunotherapy, with in silico analyses. In fact, VISTA functions like a homeostatic regulator that actively normalizes immune responses. Thus, the regulatory role of VISTA in anti-cancer immunity remains to be fully elucidated.
