Interleukin-22 background

Interleukin 22 (IL-22) is a key regulator of immunity and inflammation at mucosal surfaces, where it helps in maintaining barrier integrity [1-3]. IL-22 production can be triggered by a variety of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Notably, it can be induced directly by Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) activation in response to bacterial-derived agonists, or indirectly via IL-23 in response to aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands [1, 2]. IL-22 is implicated in a number of pathologies, including autoimmune diseases and cancer [3, 4].

IL-22 exerts its biological effect upon binding to its receptor, which comprises two subunits: IL-22R1 and IL-10Rβ. Upon binding, IL-22 triggers a signaling pathway involving tyrosine kinase 2 (TyK2) and Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), leading to the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
