Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Immune cell migration from the bloodstream to target tissues is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. The role of chemoattractants, mainly chemokines, and their possible targeting for therapeutic purposes have been under intense investigation over the last few years but the results were not as satisfactory as expected. The insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6 (IGFBP6), a direct inhibitor of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II, also exerts IGF-independent effects including tumor cell migration

METHODS: IGFBP6 was measured in RA patients and healthy donors (HD) sera by Luminex xMAP

RESULTS: We demonstrated that IGFBP6 is able to induce greater

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest a pathogenic role of IGFBP6 in RA and support its possible targeting for therapeutic purposes.

Keywords: IGFBP6; cell migration; rheumatoid arthritis; synovial membrane
