Interleukin-29 (IL-29), a critical member of type III interferons (IFNs) family, has been implicated in protecting against viral infection and modulating autoimmune inflammation. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a crucial role in synovial inflammation and may contribute to the pathogenesis of rheumatology arthritis (RA). However, little is known about the modifying effect of IL-29 on TLR4-mediated inflammation in RA. We aim to investigate the potential association between IL-29 and TLR4 in RA.
