Immunopharmacology Comments
PKC-θ is a novel subfamily PKC found predominantly in hematopoietic cells [2], and is the only PKC isoform selectively recruited to the immunological synapse in conventional effector T (Teff) cells. PKC-θ mediates early antigen recognition signal transduction and cell activation associated with T-cell receptor (TCR) stimulation [13]. PKCθ also plays an important role in generating the cell-suppressive function of Treg cells, where the immunological synapse formed is more stable than that formed in Teff cells [19].

Therapeutic potential for targeting PKC-θ as an anti-inflammatory modality: In light of the link between Treg cell insufficiency in autoimmune disease in human and animal models, and the role of PKCθ in regulating the balance between Teff and Treg cells, this enzyme has been targeted in drug discovery programmes [3,9-10]. For example, CC-90005 (Celgene), a selective PKCθ inhibitor with in vivo activity in the collagen-induced arthritis mouse model, progressed to Phase I clinical trial for psoriasis, but the trial was terminated (see NCT02502188). Potential for PKCθ inhibition in allogeneic transplantation, where inhibition of Teff cell responses would be of clinical benefit is reviewed in [10]. Darovasertib has some selectivity for PKC-θ, and it was advanced into clinical studies for oncology indications.
