Background
Oncostatin M (OSM) is a multifunctional cytokine that belongs to the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family. It is primarily secreted by activated T lymphocytes and macrophages as a 28 kDa glycoprotein. OSM shares properties with all members of this cytokine family, but is most closely related in structure and function to leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). OSM acts on a variety of cells and is involved in regulating gene activation, cell growth, and inflammatory processes. It is a potent inducer of anti-proteases, has anti-inflammatory properties, acts as an immune modifier, and promotes the deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. In the context of respiratory diseases, OSM may play a significant role in normal wound healing, as well as in remodeling and pathological fibrosis.
