Immunopharmacology Comments
Via the conversion of ADP/ATP to AMP (CD39; ENTPD1) and AMP to adenosine (CD73; NT5E) these ectonucleotidase enzymes are crucial to the regulation of purinergic signals delivered to immune cells [1]. CD39 is emerging as a promising molecular target in oncology [3]. Upregulated CD39 expression has been identified as a marker of cell exhaustion in tumour-infiltrating CD8+ T cells [6]. Inhibition of the CD39-CD73-adenosine pathway selectively inhibits Treg function and mitigates adenosine-induced immunosuppression in the tumour environment. Increased adenosine levels are reported in tumours, and drives a shift to an anti-inflammatory environment which can promote tumour growth [13]. Increasing evidence validates both of these enzymes as potential druggable targets in cancer [3,10,12].
Innate Pharma has an ongoing anti-CD39 programme (IPH52) in preclinical development (Feb 2017).
