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… CONTINUE READING
