Background: CD27/TNFRSF7

CD27, also referred to as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 7 (TNFRSF7), is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a co-stimulatory T cell receptor and is expressed on the surface of T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and B cells (1,2). The human CD27 protein is 260 amino acids (aa) in length and consists of a 19 aa signal sequence, 172 aa extracellular domain (ECD) containing three characteristic cysteine-rich domains (CRDs), a 21 aa helical transmembrane region, and a 48 aa cytoplasmic tail domain (3,4). The CD27 protein has a theoretical molecular weight (MW) of 29 kDa, but is typically is closer to 50-55 kDa due to N-linked and O-linked glycosylation (3). Mouse CD27 cDNA encodes a 250 aa protein with a theoretical molecular weight of 28 kDa (5). Human CD27 shares ~64% aa sequence identity with mouse CD27 protein.

Membrane-bound CD27 is expressed as a disulfide-linked homodimer (3). CD27 binds to the ligand CD70, a transmembrane glycoprotein that is transiently expressed on activated immune cells such as antigen presenting cells (APCs), dendritic cells (DCs), NK cells, B cells, and T cells (1,2,6,7). The receptor-ligand binding interaction leads to NFkappaB and c-Jun pathway activation which promotes immune stimulation and activation and survival of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, memory T cells, and NK cells (2,6,7). Both CD27 and CD70 are often abnormally expressed or dysregulated on malignant and cancer cells leading to immune evasion and tumor progression (7). CD27 has become a target of interest of immunotherapies for viral infections, autoimmune disease, and cancer (2). Varlilumab, an agonistic CD27 monoclonal antibody (mAB), has entered clinical trials for the treatment of hematological and solid tumor cancers (1,6). Additional clinical trials are in process that combine varlilumab with other immune checkpoint inhibitors like the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) blocking mAb nivolumab (1,2). Initial results are promising, suggesting that targeting CD27, especially in combination with other therapeutics, may be a promising and effective immunotherapy for a variety of pathologies (1,2,6).
