Interleukin‐1β induces interleukin‐6 mRNA expression and protein production in synovial cells from human temporomandibular joint

Abstract

IL-1 beta increased IL-6 production in synovial cells resulting from an increase in IL-6 mRNA expression. Enhanced production of IL-6, which is associated with bone resorption and inflammatory response, seems to be related to the progression of TMJ disorders.
