    Increased circulating levels of novel anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-27 and IL-38 are associated with immunoendrocrine dysregulation and altered redox stress in polycystic ovarian syndrome. (PubMed, J Reprod Immunol)
    The increased circulating levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-27 and IL-38 under PCOS conditions warrant further investigation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on IL-38 levels in PCOS.

    Prevention of Prostate Cancer Metastasis by a CRISPR-delivering Nanoplatform for Interleukin-30 Genome Editing. (PubMed, Mol Ther)
    PC-Lung and PC-BM 2-OCs revealed that Cas9hIL30-PSCA-NPs suppressed PC cell release of CXCL2/GROβ, which in vivo was associated with intra-metastatic myeloid cell infiltrates, and of DKK1, OPG and IL6, which in vitro boosted endothelial-network formation and cancer cell migration. Development of a patient-tailored nanoplatform for selective CRISPR-mediated IL30 gene deletion is a clinically valuable tool against PC progression.

    Immunoliposome-based targeted delivery of the CRISPR/Cas9gRNA-IL30 complex inhibits prostate cancer and prolongs survival. (PubMed, Exp Mol Med)
    In the syngeneic PC model, IL30-targeting immunoliposomes downregulated NFKB1 expression and prevented intratumoral influx of CD11b+Gr-1+MDCs, Foxp3+Tregs, and NKp46+RORγt+ILC3, and prolonged host survival by inhibiting tumor progression. This study serves as a proof of principle that immunoliposome-based targeted delivery of Cas9gRNA-IL30 represent a potentially safe and effective strategy for PC treatment.

    Role of IL-27 in COVID-19: A Thin Line between Protection and Disease Promotion. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
    Regardless of the pathological process it is involved in, IL-27 is critical for upholding the necessary balance between tissue damage and cytotoxicity against infectious agents and/or tumors. In COVID-19, it is involved in multiple processes, including antiviral cytotoxicity via CD8+ cells, IgG subclass switching, and even the activation of Tregs.

These data reveal increased complexity within IFNγ-producing γδ-T cells, comprising immature and terminally differentiated subsets, that offer new insights into unconventional T-cell biology.

    Results from a phase 2 study of triplet blockade of the IL-27, PD-(L)1, and VEGF pathways with casdozokitug (casdozo, SRF388) in combination with atezolizumab (atezo) and bevacizumab (bev) in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). (ASCO-GI 2024)
    Clinical Trial Registration Number NCT05359861 Sponsored by Surface Oncology Background: Casdozo is the first in class and only clinical-stage IL-27 targeting antibody, which neutralizes IL-27 in the tumor microenvironment and stimulates antitumor response. Triplet blockade of the IL-27, VEGF, and PD-(L)1 pathways with casdozo/atezo/bev has an acceptable safety profile to date with promising antitumor activity in uHCC that warrants continued exploration. Toxicity was consistent with the known profiles of the agents, with no new safety signals identified. Biomarker analysis to evaluate immune response and associations of IL-27 pathway and clinical outcomes is ongoing.

    IL-27-induced, MSC-derived Exosomes Promote MMP3 Expression Through the miR-206/L3MBTL4 Axis in Synovial Fibroblasts. (PubMed, Altern Ther Health Med)
    IL-27 can induce the expression of miR-206 in MSCs, and miR-206 can be transported into FLS through MSC-EVs to promote FLS migration and MMP3 expression and aggravate articular cartilage damage. Patients with RA who have a high IL-27 expression may not be suitable to receive treatment with MSCs, and clinicians can use MSCs that knock down or delete IL-27R to treat RA patients who have a high IL-27 expression.

    Constitutive expression of interleukin-27 diminishes proinflammatory cytokine production without impairing effector function of engineered T cells. (PubMed, Cytotherapy)
    We discovered that T cells bearing scIL-27 sustained anti-tumor immunity and cytotoxicity yet manifested a profound reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and tumor necrosis factor alpha. IL-27-expressing T cells therefore present a potential avenue to avert treatment-related toxicities commonly associated with engineered T-cell therapy due to the reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine profile.

The elevated expression of IL-27Rα and JAM2 on MM cells compared to normal PCs may be exploited for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies that modulate the interaction of MM cells with the TME.

Data generated in this study will provide novel information on the mechanism of CD39 induction and its effect on CD8 + T-cell function, which can be exploited to improve future cancer therapies.

    IL-27 expressed in the tumor microenvironment is correlated with PD-L1 levels and can induce PD-L1 expression on immune and tumor cells (SITC 2022)
    Blocking IL-27 activity by SRF388, a first-in-class monoclonal antibody, enhances immune function and demonstrates monotherapy activity in patients with cancer ( NCT04374877 )...IL-27 + cells are found in close proximity to PD-L1 + cells in patient tumors, and IL-27 can regulate levels of PD-L1 expression in immune cells and tumor cell lines, suggesting cross-talk between these molecules to diminish immune activation within the tumor microenvironment. Combined blockade of IL-27 and PD-(L)1 to enhance antitumor immune responses is currently being evaluated in clinical trials.

    4-1BB antibody enhances cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells against prostate cancer cells via NKG2D agonist combined with IL-27. (PubMed, Immunotherapy)
    The combined treatment enhanced NK-cell cytotoxicity against both PC3 and DU145 cells with concurrent enhanced STAT3 activation. 4-1BB antibody and IL-27 improved NKG2D agonist function in NK cells against prostate cancer cells.

    Downregulation of STAT3 in Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive Hodgkin Lymphoma. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
    Taken together, this cell line deals with two conflicting oncogenic drivers, namely, JAK2-STAT3 signaling and EBV infection, but is sensitive to switch after cytokine stimulation. Thus, AM-HLH represents a unique cell line model to study the pathogenic roles of STAT3 and EBV and their therapeutic implications in HL.

    Safety, recommended dose, efficacy and immune correlates for nintedanib in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced cancers. (PubMed, J Exp Clin Cancer Res)
    Nintedanib 150 mg bid is the recommended dose for combination with pembrolizumab and is currently investigated in multiple expansion cohorts. Early tumoral and circulating immune factors were associated with cancer outcome under nintedanib & pembrolizumab therapy.
