Abstract

Abstract The sialic acid–binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec)–sialic acid immune axis is an evolutionarily conserved immunoregulatory pathway that provides a mechanism for establishing self-recognition and combatting invasive pathogens. Perturbations in the pathway lead to many immune dysregulated diseases, including autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, allergic conditions, and cancer. The purpose of this review is to provide a brief overview of the relationship between Siglecs and sialic acid as they relate to human health and disease, to consider current Siglec-based therapeutics, and to discuss new therapeutic approaches targeting the Siglec–sialic acid immune axis, with a focus on cancer.
