Abstract Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and its receptor (IL-2R) are essential in orchestrating immune responses. Their function expression the tumor microenvironment make them attractive targets for immunotherapy, leading to development of IL-2/IL-2R-targeted therapeutic strategies. However, dynamic interplay between IL-2/IL-2R various cells their dual roles promoting activation tolerance presents a complex landscape clinical exploitation. This review discusses pivotal IL-2 IL-2R tumorigenesis, shedding light on potential as diagnostic prognostic markers manipulation cancer. It underlines necessity balance anti-tumor activity with regulatory T-cell expansion evaluates strategies such dose optimization selective targeting enhanced effectiveness. The article explores recent advancements field, including developing genetically engineered variants, combining therapies other cancer treatments, benefits multidimensional approach integrating molecular profiling, immunological analyses, data. concludes that deeper understanding interactions within is crucial realizing full IL-2-based therapies, heralding promise improved outcomes patients.

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic cytokine that has fundamental role in modulating inflammation and maintaining cell homeostasis. It primarily acts as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, protecting the body from uncontrolled immune response, mostly through Jak1/Tyk2 STAT3 signaling pathway. On other hand, IL-10 can also have immunostimulating functions under certain conditions. Given pivotal of modulation, this could relevant implications pathologies characterized by hyperinflammatory state, such cancer, or infectious diseases case COVID-19 Post-COVID-19 syndrome. Recent evidence proposed predictor severity mortality for patients with acute post-acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are emerging as potentially useful platforms in treatment methods for patients with tumors. They preferentially target and kill tumor cells, leaving healthy cells unharmed. In addition to direct oncolysis, the essential attractive aspect of oncolytic virotherapy is based on intrinsic induction both innate adaptive immune responses. To further augment this efficacious response, OVs have been genetically engineered express regulators that enhance or restore antitumor immunity. Recently, combinations other immunotherapies, such checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), antigen-specific T-cell (TCRs) autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), led promising progress cancer treatment. This review summarizes mechanisms OVs, describes optimization strategies using armed effects immunity highlights rational immunotherapies recent preclinical clinical studies.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells, orchestrating innate and adaptive immunity during infections, autoimmune diseases, malignancies. Since the discovery of DCs almost 50 years ago, our understanding their biology in humans has increased substantially. Here, we review both antitumor tolerogenic DC responses cancer discuss lineage-specific contributions by functionally specialized subsets, including conventional (cDC) subsets cDC1 cDC2, newly described DC3, plasmacytoid (pDCs), focusing on human setting. In addition, lineage-unrestricted "mature enriched immunoregulatory molecules" (mregDC) state recently across different tumors.

A myriad of studies have highlighted their central role function 4–13 , yet we lack a global view cellular responses each cell type to cytokine. To address this gap, created Immune Dictionary, compendium single-cell transcriptomic profiles more than 17 types response 86 cytokines (>1,400 cytokine–cell combinations) mouse lymph nodes vivo. cytokine-centric dictionary revealed that most induce highly cell-type-specific responses. For example, inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β induces distinct gene programmes almost every type. cell-type-centric identified 66 cytokine-driven polarization states across types, including previously uncharacterized such as an interleukin-18-induced polyfunctional natural killer state. Based on dictionary, developed companion software, Response Enrichment Analysis, for assessing activities from expression data, applied it reveal networks tumours following checkpoint blockade therapy.
