CD22, or cluster of differentiation-22, is a molecule belonging to the SIGLEC family of lectins. [4] It is found on the surface of mature B cells and to a lesser extent on some immature B cells. Generally speaking, CD22 is a regulatory molecule that prevents the overactivation of the immune system and the development of autoimmune diseases. [5]

CD22 is a sugar binding transmembrane protein, which specifically binds sialic acid with an immunoglobulin (Ig) domain located at its N-terminus. The presence of Ig domains makes CD22 a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD22 functions as an inhibitory receptor for B cell receptor (BCR) signaling. It is also involved in the B cell trafficking to Peyer's patches in mice. [6] In mice, it has been shown that CD22 blockade restores homeostatic microglial phagocytosis in aging brains. [7]

Structure

CD22 is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of 140 kDa. The extracellular part of CD22 consists of seven immunoglobulin domains and the intracellular part is formed by 141-amino acid cytoplasmic tail. [8]

Extracellular part

The binding site for ligands is located at the extracellular N-terminus, specifically at the last immunoglobulin domain called the V-like domain. This domain binds to ligands containing sialic acid via α2,6-linkage to the galactose residue. Such ligands are commonly expressed on the surface of erythrocytes, monocytes, cytokine-activated endothelial cells, T cells and B cells. To a lesser extent they are present on soluble IgM and on the soluble plasmatic glycoprotein called haptoglobin. Therefore, CD22 can bind ligands in the cis configuration, when they are on the surface of B cells, or in the trans configuration, when they are on the surface of other cells or on soluble glycoproteins or attached to a cell-associated antigen. However, CD22 is masked on most B-cell surfaces, meaning that it cannot bind exogenous ligands, so cis interaction with glycoprotein ligands on the same cell is preferred. [9]

Trans ligands

Trans interactions between CD22 and its ligands are important for B cell adhesion and migration. Specifically, CD22-deficient mice have been shown to have reduced numbers of recirculating B cells and reduced numbers of IgM-secreting plasma cells in the bone marrow. Together, this implies that CD22 interacting with trans ligands is crucial for the homing of mature, recirculating B cells to the bone marrow. [10]

BCR signaling

The intracellular part of CD22 consists of 6 tyrosine residues which contain both ITIM and ITAM motifs suggesting both inhibitory and activation role in signaling. [11] Because of the tyrosine residues, the cytoplasmic domain of CD22 can be phosphorylated. This happens when the BCR is cross-linked by the antigen. Phosphorylation is mediated by Lyn, a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) of the Src family found in lipid rafts. [9]

Inhibitory role

After CD22 is phosphorylated, the ITIM motifs provide docking sites for the SH2 domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatase called SHP-1. SHP-1 inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and dephosphorylates components of BCR signaling. That means that association of CD22 with SHP-1 leads to the inhibition of BCR signaling. [12] [9]

Activation role

After CD22 is phosphorylated, the ITAM motifs provide docking sites for the SH2 domain of Lyn or other Syk kinase or Src-family tyrosine kinases. Thus, CD22 positively regulates BCR signaling and thereby promotes B cell survival. [9]

Autoimmunity

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the CD22 gene lead to a higher likelihood of autoimmune disease. Specifically, some studies show that polymorphisms in the CD22 gene are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cutaneous systemic sclerosis. In addition, mutations in enzymes involved in the glycosylation of the CD22 ligand may also lead to the susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. Specifically, mutations in the sialic acid esterase were frequently found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and SLE. This enzyme is essential for deacetylation of the N-glycan sialic acid present in CD22 ligands and is therefore crucial for ligand binding. [13]

As a drug target

Because CD22 is restricted to B cells, it is an excellent target for immunotherapy of B cell malignancies. There are several mechanisms by which this can be achieved, namely monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, radioimmunoconjugates or CAR-T cells. [14]

An immunotoxin, BL22 (CAT-3888), that targets this receptor was developed at the NIH. [15] BL22 was superseded by moxetumomab pasudotox (HA22, CAT-8015). [16] Moxetumomab pasudotox is approved in the EU and USA for treatment of relapsed or refractory hairy cell leukemia. [17] [18]

Inotuzumab

It was shown that antibody-drug conjugates work better than naked antibodies. The reason is that CD22 is rapidly internalized rather than being exposed to the extracellular environment making it more suitable for specific delivery of these conjugates. [19] One of such therapeutics is Inotuzumab, which was approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August 2017. [20] Inotuzumab consists of a CD22-targeting immunoglobulin G4 humanized monoclonal antibody conjugated to calicheamicin. The mechanism by which calicheamicin destroys malignant cells is that it binds to DNA, causing DNA double-strand breaks, and this in turn leads to transcription inhibition. [19]

Interactions

CD22 has been shown to interact with Grb2, [21] [22] PTPN6, [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] LYN, [21] [24] SHC1 [21] and INPP5D. [21]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">B cell</span> Type of white blood cell

B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell of the lymphocyte subtype. They function in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system. B cells produce antibody molecules which may be either secreted or inserted into the plasma membrane where they serve as a part of B-cell receptors. When a naïve or memory B cell is activated by an antigen, it proliferates and differentiates into an antibody-secreting effector cell, known as a plasmablast or plasma cell. In addition, B cells present antigens and secrete cytokines. In mammals, including marsupials B cells mature in the bone marrow, which is at the core of most bones. In birds, B cells mature in the bursa of Fabricius, a lymphoid organ where they were first discovered by Chang and Glick, which is why the B stands for bursa and not bone marrow, as commonly believed.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fc receptor</span> Surface protein important to the immune system

In immunology, an Fc receptor is a protein found on the surface of certain cells – including, among others, B lymphocytes, follicular dendritic cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, human platelets, and mast cells – that contribute to the protective functions of the immune system. Its name is derived from its binding specificity for a part of an antibody known as the Fc region. Fc receptors bind to antibodies that are attached to infected cells or invading pathogens. Their activity stimulates phagocytic or cytotoxic cells to destroy microbes, or infected cells by antibody-mediated phagocytosis or antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Some viruses such as flaviviruses use Fc receptors to help them infect cells, by a mechanism known as antibody-dependent enhancement of infection.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">B-cell receptor</span> Transmembrane protein on the surface of a B cell

The B-cell receptor (BCR) is a transmembrane protein on the surface of a B cell. A B-cell receptor is composed of a membrane-bound immunoglobulin molecule and a signal transduction moiety. The former forms a type 1 transmembrane receptor protein, and is typically located on the outer surface of these lymphocyte cells. Through biochemical signaling and by physically acquiring antigens from the immune synapses, the BCR controls the activation of the B cell. B cells are able to gather and grab antigens by engaging biochemical modules for receptor clustering, cell spreading, generation of pulling forces, and receptor transport, which eventually culminates in endocytosis and antigen presentation. B cells' mechanical activity adheres to a pattern of negative and positive feedbacks that regulate the quantity of removed antigen by manipulating the dynamic of BCR–antigen bonds directly. Particularly, grouping and spreading increase the relation of antigen with BCR, thereby proving sensitivity and amplification. On the other hand, pulling forces delinks the antigen from the BCR, thus testing the quality of antigen binding.

B-lymphocyte antigen CD19, also known as CD19 molecule, B-Lymphocyte Surface Antigen B4, T-Cell Surface Antigen Leu-12 and CVID3 is a transmembrane protein that in humans is encoded by the gene CD19. In humans, CD19 is expressed in all B lineage cells. Contrary to some early doubts, human plasma cells do express CD19, as confirmed by others. CD19 plays two major roles in human B cells: on the one hand, it acts as an adaptor protein to recruit cytoplasmic signaling proteins to the membrane; on the other, it works within the CD19/CD21 complex to decrease the threshold for B cell receptor signaling pathways. Due to its presence on all B cells, it is a biomarker for B lymphocyte development, lymphoma diagnosis and can be utilized as a target for leukemia immunotherapies.

Siglecs(Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectins) are cell surface proteins that bind sialic acid. They are found primarily on the surface of immune cells and are a subset of the I-type lectins. There are 14 different mammalian Siglecs, providing an array of different functions based on cell surface receptor-ligand interactions.

Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2, also known as LCP2 or SLP-76, is a signal-transducing adaptor protein expressed in T cells and myeloid cells and is important in the signaling of T-cell receptors (TCRs). As an adaptor protein, SLP-76 does not have catalytic functions, primarily binding other signaling proteins to form larger signaling complexes. It is a key component of the signaling pathways of receptors with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) such as T-cell receptors, its precursors, and receptors for the Fc regions of certain antibodies. SLP-76 is expressed in T-cells and related lymphocytes like natural killer cells.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">CD33</span> Mammalian protein found in Homo sapiens

CD33 or Siglec-3 is a transmembrane receptor expressed on cells of myeloid lineage. It is usually considered myeloid-specific, but it can also be found on some lymphoid cells.

An immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM), is a conserved sequence of amino acids that is found intracellularly in the cytoplasmic domains of many inhibitory receptors of the non-catalytic tyrosine-phosphorylated receptor family found on immune cells. These immune cells include T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, macrophages and mast cells. ITIMs have similar structures of S/I/V/LxYxxI/V/L, where x is any amino acid, Y is a tyrosine residue that can be phosphorylated, S is the amino acid serine, I is the amino acid isoleucine, and V is the amino acid valine. ITIMs recruit SH2 domain-containing phosphatases, which inhibit cellular activation. ITIM-containing receptors often serve to target immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-containing receptors, resulting in an innate inhibition mechanism within cells. ITIM bearing receptors have important role in regulation of immune system allowing negative regulation at different levels of the immune response.

Src homology 2 (SH2) domain containing inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase 1(SHIP1) is an enzyme with phosphatase activity. SHIP1 is structured by multiple domain and is encoded by the INPP5D gene in humans. SHIP1 is expressed predominantly by hematopoietic cells but also, for example, by osteoblasts and endothelial cells. This phosphatase is important for the regulation of cellular activation. Not only catalytic but also adaptor activities of this protein are involved in this process. Its movement from the cytosol to the cytoplasmic membrane, where predominantly performs its function, is mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the intracellular chains of cell surface receptors that SHIP1 binds. Insufficient regulation of SHIP1 leads to different pathologies.
