The term cytokine is derived from a combination of two Greek words - cyto meaning cell and kinos meaning movement. Cytokines are cell signalling molecules that aid cell to cell communication in immune responses and stimulate the movement of cells towards sites of inflammation, infection and trauma.
While cytokines seem like a complex subject, it is essential to understanding the inflammatory process which is at the core of inflammatory types of arthritis. We know that there are both proinflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines. The proinflammatory cytokines play a role in the development of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. The anti-inflammatory cytokines are actually inflammatory cytokine antagonists. There is evidence to suggest that chemokines are involved in initiating pain, as well as in the persistence of pain.
