Role of cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis.

Cytokines have emerged as crucial players in mediating synovial inflammation in the rheumatoid joint, where the local and systemic production of cytokines appears to account for most of the pathologic and clinical manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis. Among the cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 are considered to be of great importance in the pathogenesis of the disease. Other pro-inflammatory cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis are interleukin-6, interleukin-8, leukemia inhibitory factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and transforming growth factor-beta The potent antiinflammatory cytokines interleukin-4 and interleukin-10, which are powerful inhibitors of most of these mediators, seem to be promising agents and candidates for an optimal approach to treatment.
