Background

Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B2(LILRB2, also known as ILT4) is a type I transmembrane inhibitory immune receptor encoded by LILRB2 gene, which is selectively expressed on the surface of monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and tumor-related myeloid inhibitory cells, with multiple immunoglobulin domains distributed extracellular and typical ITIM inhibitory motifs in cells, and is a key checkpoint molecule for regulating the immune activity of myeloid cells. Compared with other LILR family subtypes, LILRB2 has a broader ligand recognition spectrum, which can not only combine classical HLA-I molecules with HLA-G molecules, but also recognize ANGPTL family cytokines. By recruiting SHP-1/SHP-2 phosphatase, it can block NF-κB and promote the transcription cascade reaction, thus achieving a powerful immunosuppressive effect. In the physiological self-tolerance state of the body, the basic active LILRB2 signal can restrain the overactivation of myeloid cells, avoid the self-tissue damage induced by uncontrolled inflammatory response, and maintain the peripheral immune homeostasis. However, in the tumor microenvironment, sustained ligand binding can continuously activate LILRB2 signal, induce macrophages to polarize to immunosuppressive M2 phenotype, and inhibit the antigen cross-presentation ability of dendritic cells, which significantly weakens the anti-tumor immune response of CD8⁺ cytotoxic T cells. Other myeloid checkpoint molecules can't compensate the immunosuppressive function mediated by LILRB2 broad-spectrum ligand. Targeted blocking LILRB2 can effectively reshape the body's anti-tumor immunity and form a significant synergistic therapeutic effect with PD-1 inhibitors. Moreover, the high expression of LILRB2 is closely related to the metastasis of advanced solid tumors, which is the core and irreplaceable research target of immunotherapy screening at myeloid immune checkpoints.

LILRB2 is anchored on the lipid bilayer of myeloid immune cell membrane, which specifically plays the role of myeloid inhibitory receptor. By virtue of the folded structure of immunoglobulin arranged in series outside the cell, it can widely identify the body's own ligands and tumor-derived ligands, recruit phosphatase through intracellular signal transduction, and start the downstream immunosuppression cascade reaction. Its unique multi-ligand recognition ability is obviously different from that of single-target and narrow-spectrum inhibitory receptors, which constitutes the core regulatory axis of myeloid immunosuppression in tumor microenvironment. LILRB2-mediated ITIM signaling pathway can link the exposure level of tumor ligands with the status of myeloid immune paralysis, and dynamically regulate the balance between peripheral immune tolerance and anti-tumor immune monitoring according to the tumor load of the body. This molecule is widely involved in the physiological and pathological processes such as the construction of placental immune tolerance, the continuous progress of chronic inflammation and the immune escape of malignant tumors. The loss or targeted blocking of LILRB2 function can effectively relieve the immunosuppression of myeloid cells and reactivate the immunokilling activity of tumor-specific T cells. To sum up, LILRB2 is the key core target for the study of leukocyte checkpoint mechanism and the research and development of tumor combined immunotherapy.

LILRB2 Protein Function: Core Roles in Myeloid Immune Inhibition and Tumor Escape Tuning

The biological functions of multi-Ig LILRB2 inhibitory receptor are fully focused on HLA/ANGPTL ligand binding and myeloid immune suppression:

  • Multi-Ig Ligand Recognition: Binds HLA-I, HLA-G and ANGPTL family cytokines.
  • ITIM Inhibitory Signaling: Recruits SHP phosphatases to block pro-inflammatory NF-κB cascades.
  • M2 Macrophage Polarization: Drives tumor-associated suppressive macrophage differentiation.
  • Anti-Tumor Immune Modulation: Suppresses dendritic cell cross-presentation and CD8+ T activation.
  • Disease Relevance: LILRB2 upregulation marks immune-exhausted metastatic solid tumors.
