Engineering cytokine therapeutics

open access: yesNature Reviews Bioengineering, 2023
Cytokines have pivotal roles in immunity, making them attractive as therapeutics for a variety of immune-related disorders. However, the widespread clinical use of cytokines has been limited by their short blood half-lives and severe side effects caused ...

A Paradoxical Effect of Interleukin-32 Isoforms on Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
IL-32 plays a contradictory role such as tumor proliferation or suppressor in cancer development depending on the cancer type. In most cancers, it was found that the high expression of IL-32 was associated with more proliferative and progression of ...

The COVID-19 Cytokine Storm; What We Know So Far

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
COVID-19 is a rapidly spreading global threat that has been declared as a pandemic by the WHO. COVID-19 is transmitted via droplets or direct contact and infects the respiratory tract resulting in pneumonia in most of the cases and acute respiratory ...

Cytokine Storm in COVID-19: Immunopathogenesis and Therapy

open access: yesMedicina, 2022
A cytokine storm is a hyperinflammatory state secondary to the excessive production of cytokines by a deregulated immune system. It manifests clinically as an influenza-like syndrome, which can be complicated by multi-organ failure and coagulopathy ...

Paracrine IL-2 Is Required for Optimal Type 2 Effector Cytokine Production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
IL-2 is a pleiotropic cytokine that promotes the differentiation of Th cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, and Th9 cells, but it impairs the development of Th17 and T follicular helper cells.

Safe eradication of large established tumors using neovasculature‐targeted tumor necrosis factor‐based therapies

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020
Systemic toxicities have severely limited the clinical application of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) as an anticancer agent. Activity‐on‐Target cytokines (AcTakines) are a novel class of immunocytokines with improved therapeutic index.

Global landscape of mouse and human cytokine transcriptional regulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cytokines are cell-to-cell signaling proteins that play a central role in immune development, pathogen responses, and diseases. Cytokines are highly regulated at the transcriptional level by combinations of transcription factors (TFs) that recruit ...

Cytokine gene polymorphisms in preterm infants with necrotising enterocolitis: genetic association study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND The inflammatory cytokine cascade is implicated in the pathogenesis of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Genetic association studies of cytokine polymorphisms may help to detect molecular mechanisms that are causally related to the disease ...

Pathogenic human coronavirus infections: causes and consequences of cytokine storm and immunopathology

open access: yesSeminars in Immunopathology, 2017
Human coronaviruses (hCoVs) can be divided into low pathogenic and highly pathogenic coronaviruses. The low pathogenic CoVs infect the upper respiratory tract and cause mild, cold-like respiratory illness.
