Interleukin-10
From Proteopedia
Interlukin-10 2H24
Crystal structure of human IL-10
Interleukin-10 is in the class cytokine.[1] Interleukin-10 is a very powerful anti-inflammatory cytokine. There are many types of cytokines that have many funtions such as from antiinflammatory cytokines,cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor and proinflammitory cytokines[2].
There are many interleukins that fall under this class such as IL-1,IL-2,IL-3,IL-4...IL-31,IL-32,IL-33,IL-3 and IL-35.
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
