日本一个研究小组最近发现一种蛋白质与白介素-6过剩产生有关,如果能阻碍这种蛋白质发挥作用,就有望抑制白介素-6失调,进而对因这种细胞因子异常而导致的类风湿关节炎进行更有效的治疗。类风湿关节炎是自身免疫障碍导致免疫系统攻击关节的一种慢性炎症。而白介素-6被认为是其中起重要作用的致炎症细胞因子,其过量产生与类风湿关节炎的发病密切相关。大阪大学和京都大学等机构的研究人员发现,一种名 A Japanese team recently discovered that a protein is involved in the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is expected to suppress the imbalance of interleukin-6 and prevent rheumatoid arthritis due to this cytokine abnormality More effective treatment. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammation of the joints that autoimmune disorders cause the immune system to attack. Interleukin-6 is considered as one of the most important inflammatory cytokines. Its overproduction is closely related to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers at institutions such as Osaka University and Kyoto University found a name
