Interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor tocilizumab ameliorates periodontal inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis as well as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors [PDF]
AbstractInterleukin‐6 (IL‐6) may play a pathological role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis. Although the efficacy of medication with IL‐6 receptor inhibitor, tocilizumab (TCZ), has been demonstrated in the treatment of RA, very little is known about whether TCZ therapy affects periodontitis.

Benefit and risk associated with interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor administration during severe COVID-19: a retrospective multicentric study [PDF]
During severe and critical COVID-19, therapeutic options remain scarce. Among interventions, the use of interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor (IL-6Ri) is especially controversial due to persistent uncertainty about their efficacy and safety.

Exploring the Role of Interleukin-6 Receptor Inhibitor Tocilizumab in Patients with Active Rheumatoid Arthritis and Periodontal Disease. [PDF]
Background: The aim of our study was to explore the influence of weekly subcutaneous administration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor inhibitor tocilizumab (TCZ) on periodontal status in a local longitudinal study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontal disease (PD).

Human myeloma cells shed the interleukin-6 receptor: inhibition by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 and a hydroxamate-based metalloproteinase inhibitor [PDF]
Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is the major growth factor for human myeloma cells, exerting its effect through the IL‐6 receptor (IL‐6R). A soluble form of IL‐6R (sIL‐6R) has been identified, which increases the sensitivity of myeloma cells to IL‐6. In patients with multiple myeloma (MM), serum concentrations of sIL‐6R are elevated and associated with poor ...

In vitro selection of an RNA aptamer yields an interleukin-6/interleukin-6 receptor interaction inhibitor [PDF]
ABSTRACT Interleukin-6 (IL-6) binds to the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) subunit, related to autoimmune diseases and cytokine storm in COVID-19. In this study, we performed systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment and identified a novel RNA aptamer. This RNA aptamer not only bound to IL-6R with a dissociation constant of 200 n m,

Interleukin 6 Receptor Inhibitor Levilimab in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
The inhibitors of the biological effects of interleukin 6 (IL-6) are the most actively developing group of biologics for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to pleiotropic effects of this most important pro-inflammatory cytokine, which stimulates a number of processes that play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA.
