Immunotherapy has become one of the hopes to ultimately defeat cancer after radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy, and tumor-associated antigen is an important target in immunotherapy. As an important member of the melanoma associated antigen-A (MAGE-A) subfamily, MAGE-A4 is highly expressed in various tumor tissues and low expressed in normal tissues except testis and placenta. It is involved in the regulation of cell functions and has important roles in regulating cell cycle, inducing cell differentiation and growth, and participating in epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, which is closely related to the tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis and prognosis. The latest study shows that the phase Ⅱ clinical study of T cell receptor-transgenic T (TCR-T) immunotherapy based on MAGE-A4 target is being carried out. The results of phase Ⅰ study showed that the overall response rate (ORR) was 23.7% and the disease stability was 47.4%, suggesting that TCR-T immunotherapy based on MAGE-A4 target has good clinical application value. This paper summarizes the structure and biological function of MAGE-A4, the latest research progress of various solid tumors and its clinical application, aiming to provide theoretical basis for clinical transformation and immune-targeted therapy of MAGE-A4.
