Abstract:
:Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is the major growth factor for the malignant plasma cell clone in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Although interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) has been widely used as maintenance therapy in MM, controversy exists as to its clinical utility. This review summarizes data showing that cell growth arrest brought about by type I (IFNs-alpha/beta) and type II (IFN-gamma) IFNs occurs in part through utilization/modification of various components of the otherwise stimulatory Jak-STAT and Ras signaling pathways triggered by IL-6. Recent experimental results indicating that IFN-alpha acts as a survival factor for certain myeloma cell lines and frequently induces endogenous IL-6 expression may help to explain the conflicting clinical findings obtained in this heterogeneous disease with this usually potent growth inhibitor. By comparison, consistent antiproliferative activity exhibited by IFN-gamma on IL-6-dependent myeloma cell lines and primary myeloma cells from patients suggests that further investigation of the possible value of this cytokine in the treatment of MM may be warranted.
