Interleukin 6 (IL-6) plays a significant role in many rheumatological diseases and has been described as both a pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine. IL-6 blockade has been investigated in various rheumatic diseases and a humanised anti-IL-6 receptor antibody has been licensed for use in rheumatoid arthritis, systemic and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The increasing clinical experience of IL-6 blockade in rheumatic diseases adds to the existing knowledge regarding the physiological and pathological roles of IL-6.
白细胞介素6(IL-6)在许多风湿性疾病中发挥着重要作用,被描述为一种促炎和抗炎细胞因子。在各种风湿性疾病中都对IL-6阻断进行了研究,一种人源化抗IL-6受体抗体已被批准用于类风湿性关节炎、全身性和多关节幼年特发性关节炎。在风湿性疾病中IL-6阻断的临床经验不断增加,这丰富了关于IL-6生理和病理作用的现有知识。
