CD47 overexpression

Residual scanning calculations were performed to mutate the interacting as well as the hydrophobic residues of the antibody and affinity was assessed. Computational approaches, including antigen-antibody docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations, were employed to evaluate the affinity, stability and therapeutic potential of these modified antibodies.

Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between the expression levels of HIF-1α and CD47 in GBM. Lentivirus-mediated knockdown of HIF-1α protein and plasmid-based overexpression of CD47 protein simultaneously enhanced cell proliferation, clonogenic potential and cell migration abilities in GBM, and HIF-1α was found to regulate key pathways, including the P-PI3K/P-AKT, SOX2/OCT4 and MMP2/MMP9 pathways, in GBM.

AFP enhanced CD47 membrane translocation by interacting with HuR. These findings proved that AFP could inhibit macrophage to phagocytize HCC cells by upregulating the localization of CD47 on the HCC cell surface. Combination of AFP with CD47 blockade may be a potential therapeutic strategy for HCC treatment.

As a result, bi-CD47-IT appears to possess the "optimal" binding avidity, with effective binding to human CD47+ T-ALL tumor cells, no binding to human red blood cells and weak binding to human lymphocytes. We believe that bi-CD47-IT is a promising and safe therapeutic drug candidate for the targeted therapy of CD47+ cancers.

Given the imbalanced cytogenetic risk between CD47 high and CD47 low in the magrolimab+ aza arm, the observation warrants further investigation into the connection between cytogenetic risk, CD47 levels, and CD47 blockade. Additional data with respect to the mutational landscape will be forthcoming, including central evaluation of TP53 status.

SGN-CD47M also displays preferential activation in the tumor microenvironment that leads to robust single-agent antitumor activity. For these reasons, SGN-CD47M may have enhanced antitumor activity and improved tolerability relative to existing therapies that target the CD47-SIRPα interaction.

However, treatment efficacy is varied in pre-clinical and clinical models due to various challenges such as off-target effects. This review emphasizes the diverse functionality of macrophages in normal and cancerous tissue, while also emphasizing the importance of macrophage targeting and their clinical significance.

Decreased tumor weights and volumes were observed in mice injected with CD47-deficient CCA clones. This revealed a significant role for CD47 in CCA, with a focus on protecting cancer cells from macrophage phagocytosis.

In a B16F10-CSC bearing melanoma mouse model, the hMnO2@gCMs showed an enhanced therapeutic effect in eradicating CSCs and inhibiting tumor growth. Our work presents a simple, safe, and robust platform for CSC eradication and cancer immunotherapy.

mir-940 can inhibit the biological function of lung adenocarcinoma cells by targeting CD47.

Furthermore, hematopoietic stem cells expressing transgenic CD47-IgV show no detectable alterations in engraftment or differentiation. This study provides a potentially effective means of achieving transgenic CD47 expression that may help to produce gene-edited pigs for xenotransplantation and hypoimmunogenic pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine.

This study highlights the potential of the CD47 molecule as a promising immunotherapeutic target in STS, particularly given its elevated expression levels in diverse sarcoma types. Our data showed a notable trend linking CD47 expression to tumor grade, while also suggesting an interesting correlation between enhanced abundance of CD47 expression and a reduced hazard risk of disease progression. Although these findings shed light on different roles of CD47 in STS, further research is crucial to assess its potential in clinical settings.
