Abstract
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a cytokine that belongs to the IL-10 family of interleukins. It can be produced by T helper 22 (Th22) cells, T helper 1 (Th1) cells, T helper 17 (Th17) cells, natural killer 22 (NK22) cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and γδ T cells. IL-22 acts via binding to a heterodimeric transmembrane receptor complex that consists of IL-22R1 and IL-10R2 and mainly contributes to the tissue repair and host defense. Transcription factors such as retinoid orphan receptor γt (RORγt) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), have been reported to play important roles in regulation of IL-22 expression. Recently, it has been demonstrated in several studies that microRNAs (miRNAs) potently regulate expression of interleukins, including production of IL-22. Here, we review current knowledge about regulators of IL-22 expression with a particular emphasis on the role of miRNAs.
