Abstract

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an emerging therapeutic target in myocardial infarction (MI). IL-6 has 2 distinct signaling pathways: trans-signaling, which mediates inflammation, and classic signaling, which also has anti-inflammatory effects. The novel recombinant fusion protein sgp130Fc achieves exclusive trans-signaling blockade, whereas anti–IL-6 antibodies (Abs) result in panantagonism. In a rat model of reperfused MI, sgp130Fc, but not anti–IL-6-Ab, attenuated neutrophil and macrophage infiltration into the myocardium, reduced infarct size, and preserved cardiac function 28 days after MI. These data demonstrate the efficacy of exclusive IL-6 trans-signaling blockade and support further investigation of sgp130Fc as a potential novel therapy in MI.
