Interlukin-10 2H24

Crystal structure of human IL-10

Interleukin-10 is in the class cytokine.[1] Cytokines have many funtions such as from antiinflammatory cytokines,cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor and proinflammitory cytokines[2]. Interleukin-10 is a very powerful anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is also a cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor. These are the reasons that IL-10 is investigated for its role in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) as well as those with osteoarthritis (OA)[3]. RA is an autoimmune disorder that affects the synovial tissues via chronic synovitis. Chronic synovitis often results in joint destruction due to re-absorption of bone and the distruction of cartilage[4] [5]. IL-10 is found to spontaneously be produce in synovial tissue of patients with RA and OA but not in normal synovial tissue. The variation in secretion of IL-10 is thought to be at about 75% under the control of the genetics of the individual[6]. When IL-10 is blocked there is a increase in the proinflammatory cytokines, namely TFN-α and Il-1β Make a link to the wiki website that talks about cytokines. Make a link to RA
