白细胞介素22在恶性肿瘤中的研究进展

Research progress in interleukin-22 treatment of malignant tumors

白细胞介素22(IL-22)是白细胞介素10家族中的一员,与IL-10具有相似的结构和免疫作用,主要由Th22、Th1、Th17细胞、固有淋巴细胞(ILCs)、γδT细胞和NKT细胞分泌。IL-22在自身免疫性疾病、恶性肿瘤和感染性疾病中发挥重要作用。有关IL-22细胞因子在各种恶性肿瘤中的作用机制,仍是目前研究的热点。研究IL-22在恶性肿瘤中的表达及作用机制,为恶性肿瘤的治疗和预防提供了新的思路。本文从IL-22的发现、结构特点及其在恶性肿瘤中的作用进行综述。

Interleukin-22 （IL-22） is a member of the IL-10 family, which exhibits a similar structure and immune function with IL-10. IL-22 is mainly secreted by Th22, Th1, and Th17 cells, innate lymphoid cells （ILCs）, and γδT and NKT cells. IL-22 is mainly in-volved in autoimmune diseases, malignant tumors, and infective diseases. As such, studies have focused on the function of IL-22 cyto-kine in the pathogenesis of various malignant tumors. Studies revealing the expression and pathogenesis of IL-22 in malignant tumors possibly provide a new method to treat and prevent malignant tumors. In our study, the discovery, structural characteristics, and func-tions of IL-22 in malignant tumors are reviewed.
