Interleukin-10 is in the class [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine cytokine].<ref name="ref1"/> Interleukin-10 is a very powerful anti-inflammatory cytokine that is most commonly found to be produce by moncytes <ref>PMID:15772682</ref>. IL-10 has the ability to be a immunosupressive as well as a anti-angiogenic this means that it has the ability both promot and inhibit tumors<ref>PMID:16122836</ref>. | Interleukin-10 is in the class [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine cytokine].<ref name="ref1"/> Interleukin-10 is a very powerful anti-inflammatory cytokine that is most commonly found to be produce by moncytes <ref>PMID:15772682</ref>.

IL-10 | IL-10 has been investigated for its role in patients with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatoid_Arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis] (RA) as well as those with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis] (OA)<ref name="ref4"/>. | ||
RA is an autoimmune disorder that affects the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_membrane synovial] tissues via chronic synovitis. Chronic synovitis often results in joint destruction due to re-absorption of bone and the distruction of cartilage<ref name="ref5"> PMID:19758192</ref> <ref name="ref4"/>. | RA is an autoimmune disorder that affects the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_membrane synovial] tissues via chronic synovitis.

The variation in secretion of IL-10 is thought to be 75% under the control of the genetics of the individual<ref name="ref5"/>. When IL-10 is present there is an inhibition of the proinflammatory cytokines, namely TFN-α, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 <ref>PMID:1940799</ref>. | ||
