Tumor Target WT1
WT-1, encoded by Wilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1), is a 52-54 kD protein consisting of four zinc finger domains at the C terminus, and glutamine and proline-rich domain at the N terminus. WT1 plays an important role in cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, organ development and maintenance.
In recent years, WT1 has been considered as a vital tumor-associated antigen, and is highly expressed in leukemias such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), as well as solid tumors such as lung cancer, breast cancer, glioblastomas and thyroid cancer. Therefore, it has been defined as a promising prognostic tumor marker that has been widely explored in several tumors.

WT1 Targeted Therapeutics Strategies
With the in-depth study of tumor-associated antigen WT1, therapeutic strategies targeting WT1 are becoming increasingly promising. Some WT1 vaccine therapies, such as OCV-501 (Otsuka Pharmaceutical), TLP0-001 (Tella, Inc), are being developed and showed clinical effects in AML patients. Moreover, there are many approaches targeting WT1 which have been studied, including WT1 peptide-based vaccine immunotherapy, WT1 targeted TCRm-ADCs, bsAbs, CAR-T therapies. These approaches showed a specific anti-tumor effect in vitro and in the xenograft model, providing more potential for follow-up research.
