The immune system comprises various regulators and effectors that elicit immune responses against various attacks on the body. The pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases is derived from the deregulated expression of cytokines, the major regulators of the immune system. Among cytokines, interleukins have a major influence on immune-mediated diseases. These interleukins initiate the immune response against healthy and normal cells of the body, resulting in immune-mediated disease. The major interleukins in this respect are IL-1, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12 which cause immune responses such as excessive inflammation, loss of immune tolerance, altered T-cell differentiation, immune suppression dysfunction, and inflammatory cell recruitment. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune illness characterized by dysregulation of interleukins. These immune responses are the signs of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, type I diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.
