Constitutive Inflammatory Cytokine Storm: A Major Threat to Human Health.
Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research 2020 January
Immune cells secrete small protein molecules that aim for cell-cell communications. These small molecules are called cytokines. Targeting cancer cells with administration of bispecific antibodies and natural extracts results in elevated circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interferon-γ and interleukin (IL)-6, which lead to cell toxicity. Sustained release of cytokines due to immunotherapy or hormonal issues causes various diseases. Novel T cell-engaging therapies and monoclonal antibodies cause cytokine release syndrome. Efforts are being carried out to maximize the chance for therapeutic benefit from immunotherapy while minimizing the risk for life-threatening complications of sustained cytokine release. Neurodegeneration and cardiac diseases are the prominent diseases caused by inflammatory cytokines. The phenomenon is called cytokine storm. Cytokines can act antagonistically or synergistically. Constitutive expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-3 and IL-6 causes organ damage and unbearable pain. In this review, we will discuss the regulators of cytokine release, its types, its implications on human health, and treatment.
