Cytokine shedding by tumor cells into the local microenvironment modulates host immune response, tumor growth, and metastasis. The study aimed to verify the hypothesis that the immunological microenvironment of pancreatic carcinoma exists in a prevalently immunosuppressive state, influencing survival. We analyzed expression profiles of pro-inflammatory (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12 p40, IL-18 and IFN-γ) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10, IL-11, IL-13 and TGF-β isoforms) cytokines. The study was…

A characteristic gene expression profile combining markers associated with inhibition of anti-tumor immune response (Foxp3, IL-10), inhibition of apoptosis (survivin), and induction of the cytokines with protumoral activity as IL-12p40 and IL-23p19 (IL-23) in the colorectal tumor tissue but not in peripheral blood of patients is shown.

IL-8 can be a fine serum marker for predicting the prognosis of pancreatic cancer and in vivo tumorigenesis analysis proved that tumor tissues from patients with higher serum IL-8 levels grew faster than those with lower IL- 8 levels.

IL-18 Paradox in Pancreatic Carcinoma: Elevated Serum Levels of Free IL-18 are Correlated With Poor Survival
- Medicine, BiologyJournal of immunotherapy
- 2009
IL-18 is proposed as novel adjuvant cancer therapy, but free IL-18 levels are increased in the blood of pancreatic carcinoma patients, despite elevated IL- 18BP levels, and are associated with poor survival; this highlights recent experimental insights into the prometastatic and proangiogenic effects of IL-16 and suggests that careful preclinical studies are needed to determine the proper application of IL -18 in cancer therapy.
Systemic immune dysfunction in pancreatic cancer patients

Evidence is provided for a systemic immune dysfunction in pancreatic cancer patients characterized by a shift towards a T helper cell type 2 cytokine profile, a significant elevation of substances related to T cell suppression and a reduced blastogenic response to PHA and anti-CD3 antibodies of PBL.

It is demonstrated that, among a series of cytokines, IL4 is the most significant independent prognostic factor for DFS in resectable PDAC patients, and it could be useful to select patients with high risk of early recurrence who may avoid an unnecessary resection.
