The interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis plays a central role in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, and uveitis. Therefore, targeting the IL-23/IL-17 axis has become the focus of multiple clinical trials for drug development in patients with autoimmune diseases. We briefly describe the biology of the IL-23/IL-17 axis and its relevance to the pathogenesis of experimental and clinical uveitis, and review the monoclonal antibody therapies targeting this pathway. Finally, 2 ongoing phase 2 trials of the anti-IL-23 biologic therapy ustekinumab (STELARA, Janssen Biotech Inc, Horsham, PA) in patients with noninfectious uveitis are introduced.
白细胞介素 (IL)-23/IL-17 轴在免疫介导性疾病(如银屑病、银屑病关节炎、克罗恩病和葡萄膜炎)的发病机制中起着核心作用。因此,针对 IL-23/IL-17 轴已成为针对自身免疫性疾病患者药物开发的多个临床试验的焦点。我们简要描述了 IL-23/IL-17 轴的生物学特性及其与实验性和临床葡萄膜炎发病机制的相关性,并回顾了针对该途径的单克隆抗体治疗。最后,介绍了针对非感染性葡萄膜炎患者的抗 IL-23 生物疗法乌司奴单抗(STELARA,Janssen Biotech Inc,Horsham,PA)的 2 项正在进行的 2 期试验。
