查看更多>>摘要:Interleukin 6(IL-6)is a cytokine with dual functions of pro-inflammation and anti-inflammation.It is mainly produced by mononuclear macrophages,Th2 cells,vascular endothelial cells and fibroblasts.IL-6 binds to glycoprotein 130 and one of these two receptors,membrane-bound IL-6R or soluble IL-6R,forming hexamer(IL-6/IL-6R/gp130),which then activates different signaling pathways(classical pathway,trans-signaling pathway)to exert dual immune-modulatory effects of anti-inflammation or pro-inflammation.Abnormal levels of IL-6 can cause multiple pathological reactions,including cy-tokine storm.Related clinical studies have found that IL-6 levels in severe COVID-19 patients were much higher than in healthy population.A large number of studies have shown that IL-6 can trigger a downstream cytokine storm in patients with COVID-19,resulting in lung damages,aggravating clinical symptoms and developing excessive inflammation and acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Monoclonal antibodies against IL-6 or IL-6R,such as tocilizumab,sarilumab,siltuximab and olokizu-mab may serve as therapeutic options for COVID-19 infection.
