IL6 and rheumatoid arthritis: We focused on tumor-derived IL-6 expression for multiple reasons: (1) it can act as an immunosuppressive, pro-tumor cytokine expressed by 4T1 cells [61,62]; (2) it is a known driver of MDSC expansion [32]; (3) it has been implicated in type 3 immunity in other systems [51]; and (4) there exist IL-6-specific, FDA-approved monoclonal antibodies, tocilizumab and siltuximab, to treat rheumatoid arthritis [63] and Castleman disease [64], respectively.
