IL-6 as a major regulator of MDSC activity and possible target for cancer immunotherapy

Rebekka Weber et al.

Summary: MDSC are crucial cells generated during tumor progression that suppress the anti-tumor functions of T and NK cells. IL-6 plays a key role in regulating the accumulation and activation of MDSC, as well as stimulating tumor cell proliferation and survival. This cytokine has pleiotropic effects on immune cell populations involved in tumor development and is a potential target for tumor immunotherapy to block MDSC-mediated immunosuppression in cancer patients.

Inflammatory Cytokines in Cancer: Comprehensive Understanding and Clinical Progress in Gene Therapy

Tianxia Lan et al.

Summary: Recent research has shown that the crucial components of cancer-related inflammation interact in a coordinated system to influence cancer development, offering new insights for potential anticancer therapies. Gene therapy targeting inflammatory cytokines is considered the most efficient approach for modulating the inflammatory microenvironment in cancer therapy. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of the relationship between inflammation and cancer development, focusing specifically on inflammatory cytokines, and summarizes clinical trials for gene therapy targeting inflammatory cytokines in cancer treatment, as well as future perspectives on new gene-editing technology and novel gene delivery systems.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Effect of 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the Radiation Response in Prostate Cancer: Association With IL-6 Signaling

Chun-Te Wu et al.

Summary: IL-6 plays a critical role in the radiation response of prostate cancer, with IL-6 positivity predicting biochemical failure-free survival in PCa patients. Inhibition of IL-6 increases tumor sensitivity to radiation, while calcitriol supplementation suppresses IL-6 signaling and enhances radiation response.
