The biological properties of GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5 are multiple; initially described as haemopoietic growth factors, they also regulate inflammation, allergic reactions and cell adherence. The receptors for these three cytokines share a common component which may play a key role in their biological activity. This review describes the potential roles of GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5 in inflammation and discusses approaches to modulate their function.
粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(GM-CSF)、白细胞介素-3(IL-3)和白细胞介素-5(IL-5)具有多种生物学特性;它们最初被描述为造血生长因子,还可调节炎症、过敏反应和细胞黏附。这三种细胞因子的受体共有一个共同成分,该成分可能在其生物学活性中起关键作用。本综述描述了GM-CSF、IL-3和IL-5在炎症中的潜在作用,并讨论了调节其功能的方法。
