Mechanism of Action |
Infliximab is a IgG1κ monoclonal antibody that binds to soluble and transmembrane forms of TNF-α with high affinity to disrupt the pro-inflammatory cascade signalling. Binding of the antibody to TNF-α prevents TNF-α from interacting with its receptors. Infliximab does not neutralize TNF-β (lymphotoxin-α), a related cytokine that utilizes the same receptors as TNF-α. Blocked actions of TNF-α further leads to downregulation of local and systemic pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e. IL-1, IL-6), reduction of lymphocyte and leukocyte migration to sites of inflammation, induction of apoptosis of TNF-producing cells (i.e. activated monocytes and T lymphocytes), increased levels of nuclear factor-κB inhibitor, and reduction of reduction of endothelial adhesion molecules and acute phase proteins. Its inhibitory actions on TNF-α was demonstrated in human fibroblasts, endothelial cells, neutrophils, B and Tlymphocytes and epithelial cells. Infliximab also atteunates the production of tissue degrading enzymes synthesized by synoviocytes and/or chondrocytes. According to a transgenic mice study that developed polyarthritis due to consitutive levels of human TNF-α, infliximab decreased synovitis and joint erosions in collagen-induced arthritis and allows eroded joints to heal. |
