Human Monoclonal Antibody Targeting IL-17A (AIN457) Down-Regulates MM Cell-Growth and Survival and Inhibits Osteoclast Development In Vitro and In Vivo: A Potential Novel Therapeutic Application In Myeloma

TLDR
In the SCIDhu model of human myeloma where MM cells grow within the human microenvironment in the mice, administration of AIN-457 weekly for 4 weeks after the first detection of tumor in mice led to a significant inhibition of tumor growth as measured by human sIL-6 receptor compared to control mice.

Monoclonal antibody-based therapy as a new treatment strategy in multiple myeloma

TL;DR: An overview of various monoclonal antibodies directly targeting myeloma tumor cells or indirectly via effects on the bone marrow microenvironment and the combination of these mAbs with IMiDs or bortezomib is given.

Immature dendritic cells in multiple myeloma are prone to osteoclast-like differentiation through interleukin-17A stimulation

TL;DR: High IL17A expression in the marrow plasma of MM patients in parallel with its deposits within the stromal matrix suggests that their bone resorption activity is also regulated, at least in vitro, by IL17RA.
