Background: B7-H4

B7-H4, also known as B7x, B7S1, and V-set domain-containing T-cell activation inhibitor 1, is a 50-80 kDa glycosylated member of the B7 family of immunomodulatory proteins (1-5). Mature rat B7-H4 consists of a 235 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with two Ig-like domains. Within the ECD, rat B7-H4 shares 90% and 99% aa sequence identity with human and mouse B7-H4, respectively. Alternate splicing of human B7-H4 generates an additional isoform that lacks the first Ig-like domain. B7-H4 is expressed on the surface of activated lymphocytes, macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, epithelial cells, and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (4-8). Its binding to activated T cells dampens T cell responses and induces cell cycle arrest in the T cell (3-5). Reverse signaling can induce either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in the B7-H4 expressing cell (9, 10). B7-H4 is up-regulated in several carcinomas in correlation with tumor progression and metastasis (2, 7, 11, 12). A soluble form of B7-H4 is elevated in the serum of ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and rheumatoid arthritis patients, also in correlation with advanced disease status (13-15). Soluble B7-H4 functions as a decoy molecule that blocks the inhibitory influence of B7-H4 on immune activation (15). Despite evidence for the involvement of B7-H4 in immune regulation, mice deficient in its expression do not show significant immune deficiencies, suggesting compensation by other molecules in vivo (16).
