The tumour necrosis factor receptor OX40 (CD134) is activated by its cognate ligand OX40L (CD134L, CD252) and functions as a T cell co-stimulatory molecule. OX40-OX40L interactions have been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for treating autoimmunity.

OX40 (CD134) and its binding partner, OX40L (CD252), are members of the TNFR/TNF superfamily and are expressed on activated CD4 and CD8 T cells as well as a number of other lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells. Costimulatory signals from OX40 to a ...

OX40 (CD134) and its binding partner OX40-Ligand (OX40L) represent members of the TNFR and TNF superfamilies that appear to be crucial to many types of immune reaction mediated by T cells. Emerging data have now put these molecules at the forefront of the field of what has been termed T cell costimulation.

When OX40 on activated T cells binds OX40L on antigen-presenting cells, T-cell activation and immune stimulation are initiated via enhanced T-cell survival, proliferation and cytotoxicity, memory T-cell formation, and abrogation of regulatory T cell (Treg) immunosuppressive functions.

Mar 1, 2020 · The T cell co-stimulatory molecule OX40 and its cognate ligand OX40L have attracted broad research interest as a therapeutic target in T cell-mediated diseases. Accumulating preclinical evidence highlights the therapeutic efficacy of both agonist and blockade of the OX40–OX40L interaction.

The interaction between OX40 and OX40L (OX40/OX40L) induces the expansion and proliferation of T cells and decreases the immunosuppression of regulatory T (Treg) cells to enhance the immune response to the specific antigen.

Given the emerging role of OX40 and OX40L as novel therapeutic targets, this review will focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of OX40-mediated T-cell costimulation with a special emphasis on the role of OX40-OX40L interactions in the …

Jun 5, 2024 · OX40 ligand (OX40L) and OX40 are costimulatory immune checkpoint molecules that regulate effector and memory T-cell activity and promote sustained immune responses in multiple immunological pathways, including T helper (Th)2, Th1, Th17 and Th22.

OX40L, a member of the tumor necrosis family, has been identified as a key player in the pathological inflammatory response, which characterizes GI autoimmune diseases. OX40L is expressed in many cell types, including antigen presenting cells (APCs), T-cells, vascular endothelial cells, mast cells, and natural killer cells.

Jan 4, 2018 · We here review the immunobiology of 2 particularly promising TNFRSF target receptors, CD27 and OX40, and their respective ligands, CD70 and OX40L, focusing on their role within a tumor setting.

OX40 and OX40L regulate cytokine production from T-cells, antigen-presenting cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, and modulate cytokine receptor signaling. Methods: In this review, an updated overview of the structural features of OX40/OX40L and their interactions with cancer are provided.

Oct 22, 2024 · The early phase of T-cell activation initiates the expression of the secondary co-stimulatory molecule OX40L on the surface of APCs. The expression of its receptor, OX40, soon follows on the surface of activated T cells. OX40L signaling drives expansion of effector T cells and suppresses Treg induction. 5

Mar 31, 2021 · OX40 is a costimulatory molecule that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. OX40 agonist-based combinations are emerging as promising candidates for novel cancer immunotherapy. Clinical trials have shown that OX40 agonist antibodies could lead to better results in cancer patients.

The OX40 receptor is preferentially expressed by T cells, and its cognate ligand OX40L is primarily expressed by antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells following activation by thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP).

Mar 19, 2019 · High serum OX40L can be used as a biomarker to identify asthmatic patients with corticosteroid resistance, and the change in OX40L level also reflects the response to ICS treatment. These results suggest an association of OX40L with the pathophysiology, inflammation, and clinical outcomes of asthma. …

These results suggest an association of OX40L with the pathophysiology, inflammation, and clinical outcomes of asthma.

Mar 28, 2024 · The transmembrane glycoprotein OX40 receptor (OX40) and its ligand, OX40L, are instrumental modulators of the adaptive immune response in humans. OX40 functions as a costimulatory molecule that promotes T cell activation, …
