Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is being considered as targets.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) prevents apoptosis of mucosal T cells in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) by inducing anti-apoptotic genes Bcl-xl and Bcl-2 (1, 5)
This leads to T cell expansion and chronic intestinal inflammation.
Increased IL-6 production and serum levels are observed in IBD patients (2, 3).
Studies show a link between IL-6 serum levels and disease severity/relapse (4)
