摘要
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), locally produced interleukin 15 (IL-15) can recruit and activate synovial T cells, which then amplify and perpetuate inflammation through induction of monocyte-derived tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) via a cell-contact-dependent mechanism. Thus, IL-15 could play a pivotal role in disease pathogenesis, acting upstream of TNF-alpha in orchestrating the induction of a cascade of inflammatory cytokines.
