    • The present invention provides methods of screening for compositions useful for treating, ameliorating, or preventing fibrosis and/or fibrosis-associated conditions by measuring changes in the level(s) of IL-21 and/or IL-21 receptor (IL-21R) (e.g., the level of expression of IL-21 and/or IL-21R protein and/or mRNA, the level of activity of IL-21 and/or IL-21R, the level of interaction of IL-21 with IL-21R). The invention further provides antagonists of IL-21 or IL-21R for the treatment of fibrosis and/or fibrosis-associated conditions. Further provided herein are methods of diagnosing, prognosing, and monitoring the progress (e.g., the course of treatment) of fibrosis and/or fibrosis-associated conditions by measuring the level of IL-21 and/or IL-21R (i.e., the level of activity of IL-21 and/or IL-21R, the level of expression of IL-21 and/or IL-21R (e.g., the level of IL-21 and/or IL-21R gene products), and/or the level of interaction of IL-21 with IL-21R).
    • 本发明提供了通过测量IL-21和/或IL-21受体(IL-21R)水平的变化来筛选用于治疗,改善或预防纤维化和/或纤维化相关病症的组合物的方法, (例如,IL-21和/或IL-21R蛋白和/或mRNA的表达水平,IL-21和/或IL-21R的活性水平,IL-21与IL-21R的相互作用水平 )。 本发明还提供了用于治疗纤维化和/或纤维化相关病症的IL-21或IL-21R拮抗剂。 本文还提供了通过测量IL-21和/或IL-21R的水平来诊断,预测和监测纤维化和/或纤维化相关病症的进展(例如,治疗过程)的方法(即,水平 的IL-21和/或IL-21R的活性,IL-21和/或IL-21R的表达水平(例如IL-21和/或IL-21R基因产物的水平)和/或 IL-21与IL-21R的相互作用水平)。
