Abstract
Primarily perceived as an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial mediator in mucosa and skin, interleukin-22 (IL-22) has emerged as a pivotal metabolic regulator. Central to IL-22 signaling is its receptor, IL-22RA1. Through IL-22RA1, IL-22 orchestrates glucose homeostasis by modulating insulin secretion, reducing cellular stress in pancreatic islets, promoting beta-cell regeneration, and influencing hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism. These actions suggest its potential as a therapeutic for metabolic dysfunctions like diabetes, obesity, and steatohepatitis. However, clinical applications of IL-22 face challenges related to off-target effects and safety concerns. This review explores IL-22's physiological roles, regulatory mechanisms, and profound influence on metabolic tissues. It also underscores IL-22's dual role in metabolic health and disease, advocating further research to harness its therapeutic potential.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Molecular Medicine (TMM) aims to offer concise and contextualized perspectives on the latest research advancing biomedical science toward better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. It focuses on research at the intersection of basic biology and clinical research, covering new concepts in human biology and pathology with clear implications for diagnostics and therapy. TMM reviews bridge the gap between bench and bedside, discussing research from preclinical studies to patient-enrolled trials. The major themes include disease mechanisms, tools and technologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics, with a preference for articles relevant to multiple themes. TMM serves as a platform for discussion, pushing traditional boundaries and fostering collaboration between scientists and clinicians. The journal seeks to publish provocative and authoritative articles that are also accessible to a broad audience, inspiring new directions in molecular medicine to enhance human health.
