Kunal Jobanputra: Differences between CISH and cell surface checkpoints

Kunal Jobanputra, Consultant Medical Oncologist at Saifee Hospital, posted on X:

CISH – Cytokine-Inducible SH2-containing protein, an intracellular immune checkpoint in T cells.

  • Part of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family.
  • Triggered by TCR ligation or cytokines (IL-2, IL-3, GM-CSF, EPO).

Function: Inhibits T-cell activation by degrading signaling intermediates (e.g., PLC-gamma-1).

  • Reduces cytokine release, proliferation, and T-cell survival.
  • Operates inside the cell, unlike surface checkpoints (e.g., PD-1, CTLA-4).
  • High CISH levels in TILs linked to lower reactivity to tumor neoantigens.

Differences between CISH and cell surface checkpoints.”
