These results suggest that hypomethylated status of a single CpG in the IL-6 promoter region may lead to increased levels of serum IL-6, implicating a role in the pathogenesis of RA and CP.

These results suggest that the disease activity of RA correlated with serum levels of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and CRP, and it might influence BOP in the patients with moderate to high disease activity.

Changes in periodontal and serum parameter values were different between the patients with RA and CP during treatment with and without IL-6R inhibitor.

These results suggest that patients with RA and CP may exhibit three serum proteins with different abundance compared with healthy controls and patients with RA only or CP only.
