Abstract: Studies have shown that IL-22 could promote epithelial cells to produce abnormal inflammatory mediators.IL-22 is an important cytokine mainly produced by Th17 cells and participates in inflammatory cell infiltration, cell proliferation, migration, defense, and so on.In psoriatic lesions, the expression level of IL-22 is elevated.By binding to its receptor on the surface of keratinocytes, IL-22 can alter the expressions of cytokines and inflammatory mediators, induce the chemotaxis of inflammatory cells, promote the proliferation and inhibit the differentiation of keratinocytes.Therefore, IL-22 is an important cytokine in the pathogenesis of pasoriasis.This paper describes the upregulatory effect of IL-22 on inflammatory cell infiltration and keratinocyte proliferation, alterations in products of activated keratinocytes in psoriasis, as well as the role of IL-22 in the pathogenesis of psoriasis which has been evidenced by the therapeutic effect of IL-22 on psoriasis.
