ROLE OF MACROPHAGE DERIVED CYTOKINES IN ARTICULAR CARTILAGE DESTRUCTION IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Authors: Roy T* And Chatterjee TK
ABSTRACT
In recent years variety of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines have been identified
which are involved in pathogenesis and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in various
extent. Macrophage derived cytokines and T cell cytokines having crucial role in the
pathogenesis of RA. It is well established that imbalance between proinflammatory and antiinflammatory
cytokines triggers induction of autoimmunity and RA. However exact cytokine
pathways that responsible for induction of inflammation and cartilage destruction are not fully
cleared. The aim of this review article is to provide a detailed information about the role of
various macrophage derived cytokines in the pathogenesis and progression of RA.
