Cytokines are potent immunoregulatory proteins that play important roles in cancer and have the potential for cancer immunotherapy. However, the use of cytokines as therapeutics has been limited by their complex biology and toxicities. Recent advances in immune checkpoint inhibitors and combination immunotherapies have reinvigorated interest in cytokines as therapeutics.
Cytokines are a class of potent immunoregulatory proteins that are secreted in response to various stimuli and act locally to regulate many aspects of human physiology and disease. Cytokines play important roles in cancer initiation, progression, and elimination, and thus, there is a long clinical history associated with the use of recombinant cytokines to treat cancer. However, the use of cytokines as therapeutics has been limited by cytokine pleiotropy, complex biology, poor drug-like properties, and severe dose-limiting toxicities. Nevertheless, cytokines are crucial mediators of innate and adaptive antitumor immunity and have the potential to enhance immunotherapeutic approaches to treat cancer. Development of immune checkpoint inhibitors and combination immunotherapies has reinvigorated interest in cytokines as therapeutics, and a variety of engineering approaches are emerging to improve the safety and effectiveness of cytokine immunotherapy. In this review we highlight recent advances in cytokine biology and engineering for cancer immunotherapy. (C) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
