CD47 also referred to as integrin-associated protein carries a molecular weight of approximately 50 kDa. This protein is broadly expressed across various cell types notably on erythrocytes leukocytes and endothelial cells. Its transmembrane glycoprotein structure allows it to perform various cellular functions. CD47 interacts with specific ligands prominently SIRPα which are present on immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. The engagement of CD47 with these ligands plays a major role in cellular signaling processes.
Biological function summary
CD47 functions as a "don't eat me" signal inhibiting phagocytosis by binding to SIRPα on macrophages. This protein is also important for cell adhesion and migration and can modulate interactions with integrins. While not a part of a large complex CD47 associates with various cytoskeletal and membrane proteins to maintain cellular architecture and transmission of mechanical forces. Additionally its interaction with thrombospondins influences angiogenesis and nitric oxide signaling.
Pathways
CD47 is extensively involved in the regulation of the immune response and angiogenesis. The interaction between CD47 and SIRPα plays a part in the regulation of macrophage activity impacting the immune signaling pathway. CD47 also interacts with integrins allowing it to contribute to the angiogenesis pathway which is critical in the formation of new blood vessels. These interactions help coordinate complex cellular responses and maintain tissue homeostasis.
CD47 levels have associations with cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases. In cancer CD47 overexpression can allow tumor cells to evade the immune response by downregulating phagocytosis through SIRPα interaction. Therapeutically targeting CD47 using agents like anti-CD47 antibodies shows potential for enhancing anti-tumor immunity. Additionally CD47 is involved in atherosclerosis where its interaction with thrombospondin-1 contributes to disease pathogenesis by affecting nitric oxide signaling and vascular remodeling.
