    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human PYGO2 protein.

    Background

    Stem cells are important for tissue homeostasis and regeneration and can serve as originating cells for some cancers. Understanding how their differentiation is regulated by epigenetic programs and signaling at the cell membrane should help elucidate the biology of heterogeneous tumor cells (1-3). The Pygopus (PYGO) family of proteins was first discovered in Drosophila and later in Xenopus (1-3). Of the two human PYGO homologs, PYGO2 is more widely expressed and functionally characterized (3).

    Genetic studies have shown PYGO2 as a component of canonical Wnt signaling (1-3). With a highly conserved plant homeodomain (PHD) in its C-terminus, PYGO2 binds epigenetic marks and activates gene expression. Evidence suggests that PYGO2 modulates transcription through both Wnt and Notch pathways (2-3). Dysregulation and increased expression of PYGO2 have been observed in several malignancies: breast (4,5), ovarian, colon (6,7), and prostate (8,9).

    The role of PYGO2 in immuno-oncology is being actively investigated. Loss of PYGO2 results in increased activation and infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and sensitizes tumor cells to killing (9). Increased PYGO2 has been shown to result in an aberrant tumor microenvironment hostile to CTLs. Pharmacological targeting of PYGO2 enhances the efficacy of immunotherapies when combined with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) (9).
