Zusammenfassung

Zytokine spielen eine wesentliche pathophysiologische Rolle beim systemischen Lupus erythematodes (SLE). Das haben immunologische Studien der letzten Jahre gezeigt, deren Ergebnisse inzwischen z. T. durch erste klinische Studien bestätigt wurden. Sie legen nahe, dass insbesondere gegen die proinflammatorischen Zytokine Tumor-Nekrose-Faktor- (TNF-)α und Interleukin- (IL-)6 gerichtete Therapien und die Blockade von Interferon-α hoch wirksam sein könnten. Kontrollierte klinische Studien werden in den nächsten Jahren klare Antworten geben.

Abstract

Over the last few years evidence on the major pathophysiological role of cytokines in system lupus erythematosus (SLE) has accumulated. Immunological results were recently confirmed by first clinical trials, which suggest that therapies targeted at the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6, as well as the blockade of Interferon, may be highly effective. Controlled clinical trials will have to prove this concept over the next few years.
