Veterinary IL-34 Therapeutic Antibody Development
Background of IL-34
IL-34 has emerged as a potential therapeutic target, offering new avenues for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and certain types of cancers in companion animals. BioVenic provides comprehensive services for the development of veterinary IL-34 therapeutic antibodies, encompassing the entire development process and assisting in facilitating a deeper understanding of IL-34 in companion animal diseases.
Background of IL-34
| Full Name | Interleukin 34 |
|---|---|
| Aliases | C16orf77, IL34. |
| Target Profile | IL-34 is a secreted homodimeric glycoprotein that shares structural and functional similarities with CSF-1. It plays a crucial role in regulating the development and function of macrophages and monocytes and is intimately involved in maintaining immune balance and tissue homeostasis. Activation of receptors mediated by IL-34 can induce various signaling pathways that influence proliferation, survival, migration, polarization, and differentiation. |
MoA of IL-34
The expression of IL-34 can be induced by a variety of factors, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, pPAMPs, viral infections, and chemical stimuli. Upon binding with CSF-1R, IL-34 activates multiple signaling pathways, including NF-κB, c-JNK, p38 MAPK, and ERK1/2. Additionally, IL-34 can trigger autophagy by activating AMPK/ULK1 and induces the activation of paxillin and FAK by binding with PTP-ζ. By playing a key role in regulating various cellular functions, IL-34 impacts cell differentiation, movement, adhesion, metabolism, proliferation, and survival.

Application in Veterinary Therapeutics
IL-34 is a promising therapeutic target for canine atopic dermatitis, as its serum concentration in canine with this condition is significantly higher compared to control groups and correlates with clinical severity and itchiness. Highly conserved across vertebrates, IL-34 has been implicated in a range of diseases, including various inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, as well as certain types of cancer, in different species. Its overexpression in certain tumor microenvironments has been linked to promoting tumor growth by modulating tumor-associated macrophages and creating an immunosuppressive milieu. Utilizing IL-34 antibodies to block the IL-34 pathway holds the potential to treat multiple related diseases in companion animals.
