Interleukins (ILs) are signaling molecules that are crucial in regulating immune responses during infectious diseases. Pro-inflammatory ILs contribute to the activation and recruitment of immune cells, whereas anti-inflammatory ILs help to suppress excessive inflammation and promote tissue repair. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the role of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory ILs in infectious diseases, with a focus on the mechanisms underlying their effects, their diagnostic and therapeutic potential, and emerging trends in IL-based therapies.
白细胞介素(ILs)是在传染病期间调节免疫反应中起关键作用的信号分子。促炎白细胞介素有助于免疫细胞的激活和募集,而抗炎白细胞介素则有助于抑制过度炎症并促进组织修复。在这里,我们全面概述了促炎和抗炎白细胞介素在传染病中的作用,重点关注其作用机制、诊断和治疗潜力以及基于白细胞介素的疗法的新趋势。
