Interleukin 37 (IL-37), a member of the IL-1 family, is considered a suppressor of innate and adaptive immunity and, hence is a regulator of tumor immunity. However, the specific molecular mechanism and role of IL-37 in skin cancer remain unclear. Here, we report that IL-37b-transgenic mice (IL-37tg) treated with the carcinogenic 7,12-dimethylbenzoanthracene (DMBA)/12-o-tetradecylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) exhibited enhanced skin cancer and increased tumor burden in the skin by inhibiting the function of CD103 dendritic cells (DCs).

Interleukin-37b (hereafter called IL-37) was identified as fundamental inhibitor of natural and acquired immunity. The molecular mechanism and function of IL-37 in colorectal cancer (CRC) has been elusive. Here, we found that IL-37 transgenic (IL-37tg) mice were highly susceptible to colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) and suffered from dramatically increased tumor burdens in colon.

Mast cells play a significant role in urticaria pathogenesis. It's evidenced that vitamin D has positive impact in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) recently, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer was used to detect the expression of proteins in sera of CSU patients and healthy subjects.
