Interleukin-22 but Not Interleukin-17 Provides Protection to Hepatocytes during Acute Liver Inflammation

Abstract: The cytokine interleukin-22 (IL-22) is primarily expressed by T helper 17 (Th17) CD4(+) T cells and is highly upregulated during chronic inflammatory diseases. IL-22 receptor expression is absent on immune cells, but is instead restricted to the tissues, providing signaling directionality from the immune system to the tissues. However, the role of IL-22 in inflammatory responses has been confounded by data suggesting both pro- and anti-inflammatory functions. Herein, we provide evidence that during inflammatio… Show more

“…To the best of our knowledge, there are two conflicting reports as to the susceptibility of IL-17-deficient mice to Con A-induced hepatitis [24,31]. Therefore, to further clarify the role of IL-17 in Con A-induced hepatitis, we investigated the susceptibility of IL-17-deficient mice to Con A-induced hepatitis.…”

“…The proinflammatory/pathological nature is apparent in mouse models with diseases such as psoriasis [4] and rheumatoid arthritis [22], and T. gondii infection [11]. In contrast, IL-22 plays protective roles and has tissue-protective and antimicrobial properties in several mouse models with diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) [23], hepatitis [24] and infection with invading pathogenic bacteria [10,25,26].…”
