CD47, a transmembrane glycoprotein widely expressed on the cell surface, is one of the important checkpoints through which cells escape innate immune surveillance. The important role of CD47-related signaling pathway and changes in expression level in immune regulation, pathogen infection and anti-tumor immunity has gradually come to be recognized. We reviewed herein the structure and biological characteristics of CD47, the interaction and the downstream signaling of CD47 with integrin, thrombospondin 1, and signal regulatory protein, and the upregulated expression of CD47 induced by the infection of different pathogens and the role of CD47 in different types of immune response to infection. Discussions were made regarding the prospective application of CD47 targeted immunotherapy in pathogenic infection-related cancers, intending to provide guidance for future research.
