Background: GITR/TNFRSF18

GITR (glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor), also known as AITR and TNFRSF18, is a 40 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that functions in immune regulation (1, 2). Mature rat GITR consists of a 134 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with three tandem TNFR cysteine-rich repeats, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 55 aa cytoplasmic domain. Within the ECD, rat GITR shares 60% and 86% aa sequence identity with human and mouse GITR, respectively. Alternative splicing generates additional isoforms with an N-terminal extension or a substitution in the cytoplasmic domain. GITR is expressed on CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg) as well as on subsets of thymocytes, lymph node cells, and splenocytes (3-5), and it is up-regulated on antigen-activated conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells (4-7). GITR binding by GITR Ligand/TNFSF18 costimulates the proliferation and activation of CD4+ or CD8+ conventional T cells (6-9). It also induces the proliferation of Treg (8, 10) but inhibits the ability of Treg to suppress immune responses (3, 8, 11-13). This can result in the development of autoimmunity, increased tumor cell killing by effector T cells (3, 11), and increased inflammation in arthritis, allergic asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease (10, 14). GITR is also expressed on sympathetic neurons where it enhances NGF-induced neurite outgrowth and branching (15).
