| CD59 (CD59 Molecule; MAC-Inhibitory Protein) — Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell-surface complement regulatory protein that protects cells from complement-mediated lysis by inhibiting formation of the terminal membrane attack complex (MAC; C5b-9). CD59 binds components of the assembling MAC and prevents effective C9 incorporation and polymerization. Typical modulation in cancer: Frequently ↑ and generally unfavorable. Increased CD59 expression can protect tumor cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity, promote immune evasion, and reduce the effectiveness of complement-dependent antitumor immune responses and some antibody-based therapies. Typical modulation in Alzheimer’s disease: Context-dependent. CD59 contributes to protection of neurons and other cells from excessive terminal complement activation. Reduced local complement regulation may increase susceptibility to complement-mediated membrane injury, whereas excessive complement activation is implicated in neuroinflammatory and synaptic pathology. Typical mechanistic relationship: CD59 ↑ → C5b-9/MAC formation ↓ → complement-mediated membrane injury and cell lysis ↓. In cancer cells, CD59 ↑ → complement-dependent tumor-cell killing ↓ → immune escape ↑. Aliases: MAC-IP, MACIF, MIRL, protectin. |
