Разнообразные эффекты ИЛ6 осуществляются в результате передачи внутриклеточного сигнала двумя путями – через прямое связывание с мембранным рецептором с молекулярной массой 80 кДa («классический» путь) или вследствие абсорбирования комплекса ИЛ6 с его растворимым рецептором на другом трансмембранном рецепторе – gp130 (транссигнализация). Разные пути сигнализации вызывают различные последствия. Классический путь передачи сигнала активирует преимущественно протективные и регенеративные процессы, транссигнализация несет провоспалительный потенциал. В обзоре приведены схемы реализации сигнальных стимулов и показано, что ИЛ6 и его рецепторы представляют собой динамическую систему со сложно организованной регуляцией, позволяющей адаптироваться к стрессовым изменениям гомеостаза. Детально рассмотрены данные, свидетельствующие о влиянии ИЛ6 на развитие и поддержание ряда характерных для системной склеродермии (ССД) патогенетических нарушений, таких как активация эндотелия, развитие и поддержание воспаления и избыточное отложение компонентов экстрацеллюлярного матрикса в тканях. Активация эндотелиальных клеток в процессе транссигнализации приводит к усилению экспрессии молекул адгезии, высвобождению хемокинов и последующему выделению ИЛ6. Избыточная секреция ИЛ6 может инициировать фиброзирующий процесс и способствовать дальнейшему развитию патологических нарушений. При ССД имеют место аутоиммунные нарушения, теоретически связанные с гиперпродукцией ИЛ6. Повышение концентрации ИЛ6 в крови при ССД ассоциируется с клиническими параметрами заболевания – активностью, тяжестью, ухудшением прогноза и снижением выживаемости. В совокупности приведенные данные свидетельствуют о том, что блокирование ИЛ6 может иметь терапевтический потенциал при ССД. Приведены первые клинические данные об успешном применении блокатора рецепторов ИЛ6 тоцилизумаба для лечения ССД.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is one of the key cytokines that are involved in inflammation and that has pleiotropic properties. Diverse effects of IL-6 result from the transmission of an intracellular signal in two ways: via direct binding to a membrane receptor having a molecular mass of 80 kDA (a classical way) or absorption of the IL-6 complex with its soluble receptor on another transmembrane receptor – gp-130 (trans-signaling). Different signaling pathways lead to various consequences. The classical way of signal transmission activates mainly protective and regenerative processes; trans-signaling has a proinflammatory potential. The review gives schemes of signal stimuli and shows that IL-6 and its receptors are a dynamic intricately organized regulatory system that can adapt to stress-induced homeostatic changes. It considers in detail evidence suggesting the effect of IL-6 on the development and maintenance of a number of systemic sclerosis (SS)-specific pathogenetic disorders, such as the activation of the endothelium, the development and maintenance of inflammation, and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components in tissues. Endothelial cell activation during trans-signaling gives rise to an enhanced adhesion molecule expression, chemokine release, and further production of IL-6. Excessive secretion of the latter may initiate a fibrosing process and favor the further development of pathologicalconditions. Autoimmune disorders theoretically associated with IL-6 overproduction occur in SS. Elevated blood IL-6 concentrations in SS are related to disease clinical parameters, such as activity, severity, worse prognosis, and reduced survival. Taken together, the data presented suggest that IL-6 blocking may have a therapeutic potential in SS. The first clinical data on successfully using the IL-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab to treat SS are given.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>системная склеродермия</kwd><kwd>тоцилизумаб</kwd><kwd>цитокины</kwd><kwd>интерлейкин 6</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>scleroderma systematica</kwd><kwd>tocilizumab</kwd><kwd>cytokines</kwd><kwd>interleukin 6</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Gabrielli E, Avvedimento V, Krieg T.
