Patent abstract
The present invention provides an antagonist peptide of interleukin-6 (IL-6), wherein the peptide comprises a amino acid sequence which is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6 and SEQ ID NO: 7. The peptide of the invention is able to specifically bind IL-6R and compete for the binding of IL-6 to IL-6R, to block IL-6-induced signal transduction and therefore effectively inhibits IL-6-mediated antiapotopsis and angiogenesis, and further inhibits IL-6-mediated tumor growth.
