Zytokintherapien bei malignen Hauttumoren

  • Chapter
Therapie der Hautkrankheiten

Zusammenfassung

Als Zytokine werden im allgemeinen Proteine mit niedrigem Molekulargewicht bezeichnet, die vor allem von Zellen des Immunsystems synthetisiert werden. Zytokine binden spezifisch mit hoher Affinität an Rezeptoren der Zielzellen und regulieren ihre Proliferation, Differenzierung und funktionelle Aktivierung. Im Gegensatz zu endokrinen Hormonen werden sie nicht von spezialisierten Drüsen synthetisiert, sondern von Zellen unterschiedlichen Gewebsursprungs. Sie sind oft im Serum nicht nachweisbar und wirken auf ihre Zielzellen parakrin oder autokrin. Darunter wird verstanden, daß die Zytokine entweder von Zellen in der unmittelbaren Umgebung der Zielzellen synthetisiert werden und auf ihre Nachbarzellen (parakrin) wirken, oder aber durch die Zelle selbst, auf die sie einwirken (autokrin), produziert werden. Zytokine spielen eine wesentliche Rolle in der Regulation immunologischer Abwehrmechanismen und somit in den modernen Behandlungsstrategien gegen Tumoren. Eine Reihe von Zytokinen wird inzwischen gentechnologisch hergestellt und steht in ausreichend großen Mengen für therapeutische Zwecke zur Verfügung. Antitumorwirkungen von Zytokinen werden auf verschiedene Weise vermittelt.
