Abstract
The striking clinical outcomes of antibody-based immunotherapy, through the inhibitors of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) axis, have driven research aimed at identifying further clinically relevant tumor antigens that can serve as targets in solid tumors. B7 homolog 3 protein (B7-H3, also known as CD276) is a member of the B7 family overexpressed in tumor tissues, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while showing limited expression in normal tissues, becoming an attractive and promising target for cancer immunotherapy. B7-H3 expression in tumors has been demonstrated to be associated with poor prognosis. In addition to its role in immune modulation, B7-H3 also promotes pro-tumorigenic functions such as tumor migration, invasion, metastases, resistance, and metabolism. In this review, we will provide an overview of this newly characterized immune checkpoint molecule and its development in the management of metastatic NSCLC.
