The Role of Regulatory T Cells and TH17 Cells in Multiple Myeloma by Walter M. T. Braga, Djordje Atanackovic, Gisele W. B. Colleoni

“…The interplay of TGF-β and IL-6, expressed at high levels in the bone marrow of myeloma patients, may affect generation of Th17 cells both directly or via other pro-inflammatory cytokines and thereby modulate antitumor immune responses. A detailed analysis of the balance between Tregs and Th17 cells seems necessary in order to design more effective and less toxic modes of immunotherapy myeloma which still is an uncurable malignancy.…”

Molecular dynamics simulations reveal key roles of the LIF receptor in the assembly of human LIF signaling complex by Bo Gao, Hanrui Liu, Mengkai Zhu, Shun Zhang, Meiniang Wang, Yijun Ruan, Yue Zheng

“…We propose that the unique N-terminal extension of LIF enables signaling without requiring the additional receptor subunit beyond gp130 and LIFR, as verified by cell proliferation assays, distinguishing it from other cytokines in the LIF family. Additionally, analysis of domain fluctuations revealed that the LIF–LIFR interface undergoes less angular displacement compared to the LIF–gp130 interface, indicating a more stable interaction with LIFR. …”
