Interestingly, its divergent biological activities are mediated by different signaling pathways: In IL-6 classic signaling, which is associated with the regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties of the cytokine, IL-6 binds to and signals via the membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) on its target cells. In contrast, the pro-inflammatory properties of IL-6 are mediated via the soluble (s)IL-6R (IL-6 trans-signaling). Recently, a third mode of IL-6 signaling was revealed, which was termed cluster signaling and is required for the generation of pathogenic Th17 cells. In all pathways, intracellular signaling cascades are activated via the formation of a gp130 homodimer. The involvement of IL-6 in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases and even cancer has made IL-6 and the IL-6R important therapeutic targets. Consequently, antibodies that block either IL-6 itself or the IL-6R are in clinical use and have been approved for different inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This review gives an overview about the complex biology of this important cytokine, summarizes the current usage of anti-IL-6 therapeutics in clinical use and highlights the pre-clinical and clinical development of novel therapeutic agents that specifically block only the trans-signaling pathway of IL-6.</p>","PeriodicalId":30986,"journal":{"name":"ImmunoTargets and Therapy","volume":"14 ","pages":"681-695"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12239904/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144601759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the therapeutic landscape for HCC, demonstrating significant efficacy among advanced-stage tumors through combination regimens, such as anti-programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1)/PD-1 inhibitors with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents. Recent advances have highlighted the potential of ICIs as adjuvant therapy to improve recurrence-free survival among high-risk patients post-resection. However, challenges such as low immunogenicity, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and immune resistance remain substantial barriers to the broader success of ICIs. In the context of LT, the use of ICIs is further complicated by the concurrent need for immunosuppressive agents, which can exacerbate the risk of recurrence. Emerging strategies focusing on the optimization of the timing of ICI therapy and the utilization of novel biomarkers are being explored to mitigate graft rejection while maintaining antitumor efficacy. Additionally, immune-cell-based therapies based on chimeric antigen receptor-T and natural killer (NK) cells, adoptive cell transfer, and liver-resident NK cell approaches are also being investigated for their potential to reduce recurrence and improve survival outcomes. This review focuses on the current landscape of adjuvant immunotherapy and immune-cell therapy in the postoperative management of HCC, highlighting ongoing clinical trials, therapeutic potential, and associated risks.
