Regulatory molecules of CLL cells

CharacteristicProposed mechanismsReference
IL-10 Regulates inflammation, autoimmunity, adaptive and innate immune responses, regulates production of tumor necrosis factor-α by macrophages 24  
CD5 Promotes STAT3/NFAT2-mediated IL-10 secretion 62  
CD23 Associates with regulatory B-cell phenotype 24  
CD24 Associates with regulatory B-cell phenotype 24  
CD25 Reduces T-cell proliferative capacity, inhibits Th1 differentiation, and skews peripheral T cells toward Th2 response in tissue by IL2 deprivation 63  
CD27 Enhances survival of Tregs; induces hypogammaglobulinemia by interacting with CD70 on plasma cells 64,65  
CD39/CD73 Ectoenzymes producing immune suppressive adenosine to inhibit T-cell proliferation 66,67  
CD80/CD86 Induced on activated CLL cells; induce T-cell tolerance 14,68  
CD152 (CTLA-4) Acts as an “off” switch signal via B7.1/B7.2 (CD80/CD86) to control T-cell responses 69  
CD178 (FasL) Induces hypogammaglobulinemia by CD95(Fas)-mediated suppression of primary plasma cell function 70  
CD200 Induces impaired actin synapse formation of T cells; inhibits IL2 and IFN-γ production by CD4+ T cells; promotes Treg differentiation of CD4+ T cells; inhibits antigen-presenting cells 14,71  
CD269 (BCMA) Favors plasma cell death and hypogammaglobulinemia by BAFF/APRIL deprivation 72,73  
CD270 Induces impaired actin synapse formation of T cells 14  
CD274 (PD-L1) Induces mpaired actin synapse formation of T cells; enhances susceptibility to apoptosis on CD4+ T cells at late stages of disease; induces hypogammaglobulinemia by plasma cell apoptosis 14,74,75  
CD276 (B7-H3) Induces impaired actin synapse formation of T cells 14  
CD279 (PD-1) Inhibits IFN-γ production by CD8+ T cells 76  
NAMPT Expressed on activated CLL cells, polarizes monocytes differentiation toward M2 macrophages 23  
HLA-G Associates with lower serum IgG, higher serum IL-10, and lower CD4+ T cells 77
