Abstract
Son 10 yılda özellikle romatoloji alanında büyük yenilikler yaşanmaktadır. İnflamatuar hastalıkların patogenezinin daha iyi anlaşılması beraberinde yeni tedavi ajanlarının gelişimine neden olmuştur. İnterlökin-6 (IL-6) ve reseptör sistemi 1980’lerde keşfedilmiştir. IL-6 T hücrelerin, B hücrelerin farklılaşması, antikor yapımı ve akut faz cevabında önemli bir rol oynar. IL-6 aynı zamanda romatoid artritteki halsizlik, anemi, kemik resorbsiyonu ve lipit metabolizma değişiklikleri gibi sistemik bulgulardan da büyük ölçüde sorumludur. IL-6 aktivasyonunun inhibisyonu, bazı immun inflammatuar hastalıkların tedavisinde yeni bir hedef olarak karşımızda durmaktadır.
In the last decade a new era was opened in the field of rheumatology with the introduction of biologic therapies. The new perspectives in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases caused the development of new therapeutic agents. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its receptor system was discovered in the 1980’s. IL-6 has a pivotal role in mediating the T cell, B cell differentiation, antibody production and acute phase response. IL-6 also mediates many systemic manifestations of the rheumatoid arthritis such as fatique, anemia, bone resorption and lipid metabolism. Inhibiting the activity of IL-6 could offer a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of some immune inflammatory diseases.
