Table 1:

The biological roles of various TOX family members.

Type Biological role
TOX 1. Regulate the development of CD4+ T cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and T follicular helper (Tfh) cells2.
2. Regulate CD8+T cell exhaustion.
3. Regulate mammalian corticogenesis
4. Mark the occurrence, diagnosis, and classification of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
5. Regulate growth, DNA repair, and genomic instability in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
TOX2 1. Regulate normal NK cell development.
2. Regulate Tfh development.
3. Regulate CD8+ T cell exhaustion.
TOX3 1. Influences neuronal cells survival.
2. Influences breast cancer cells survival.
3. As a prognostic marker and/or therapeutic target against colorectal cancer and lung adenocarcinoma.
TOX4 1. Regulate chromatin structure and cell cycle progression.
2. Modulate cell fate reprogramming.
