IL6 and neoplasm: Its genesis is based on a multistep integrative model, where age-related and initiator mutations involve epigenetic regulatory genes, such as TET-2 and DNMT3A. Subsequently, driver-mutations, such as RhoA G17V and IDH-2 R172K/S promote the expansion of clonal TFH-cells (“second-hit”), that finally begin to secrete cytokines and chemokines, such as IL-6, IL-21, CXCL-13 and VEGF, modulating a network of complex relationships between TFH-cells and a defective tumor microenvironment (TME), characterized by expansion of follicular dendritic cells (FDC), vessels and EBV-positive immunoblasts.
