IL-22 is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine upregulated in psoriasis and in other inflammatory diseases. The function of IL-22 is regulated by the soluble scavenging receptor, IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP or IL-22RA2). However, the role and regulation of IL-22BP itself in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease remain unclear. We used the TLR7 agonist Imiquimod (IMQ) to induce a psoriasis-like skin disease in mice and found a strong downregulation of IL-22BP in the affected skin as well as in the lymph nodes of animals treated with IMQ. We also analysed psoriatic skin of patients and compared this to skin of healthy donors. Interestingly, IL-22BP expression was similarly downregulated in skin biopsies of psoriasis patients compared to the skin of healthy donors. Since IL-22BP is expressed foremost in dendritic cells, we characterized its expression in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDC) during maturation. In this way, we found Prostaglandin E2 (PGE) to be a potent suppressor of IL-22BP expression in vitro. We conclude that regulation of IL-22BP by inflammatory mediators is an important step for the progression of inflammation in the skin and possibly also in other autoimmune diseases.

To establish protection against harmful foreign antigens, the small intestine harbors guardian sites called Peyer's patches (PPs). PPs take up antigens through microfold (M) cells and transfer them to the sub-epithelial dome (SED), which contains a high density of mononuclear phagocytes (MPs), for T cell-priming. Accumulating evidence indicates that SED-MPs have unique functions other than T cell-priming to facilitate mucosal immune responses; however, the crucial factors regulating the functions of SED-MPs have not been determined.

Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is an important cytokine in the intestinal environment. IL-22 is mainly produced by immune cells and targeted at nonimmune cells such as epithelial and stromal cells in a broad array of tissues such as -but not restricted to- the liver and adipose tissue. IL-22 therefore connects immune functions with metabolic functions of the host, and since it is induced by the microbiota, connects host functioning to the outside environment.

Metaphocytes are tissue-resident macrophage (TRM)/dendritic cell (DC)-like cells of non-hematopoietic origin in zebrafish barrier tissues. One remarkable property of metaphocytes is their ability to capture soluble antigens from the external environment via transepithelial protrusions, a unique function manifested by specialized subpopulations of the TRMs/DCs in mammal barrier tissues. Yet, how metaphocytes acquire myeloid-like cell properties from non-hematopoietic precursors and how they regulate barrier immunity remains unknown.

Dectin-1 (gene Clec7a), a receptor for β-glucans, plays important roles in the host defense against fungi and immune homeostasis of the intestine. Although this molecule is also suggested to be involved in the regulation of tumorigenesis, the role in intestinal tumor development remains to be elucidated. In this study, we find that azoxymethane-dextran-sodium-sulfate-induced and Apc-induced intestinal tumorigenesis are suppressed in Clec7a mice independently from commensal microbiota.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic disease, in the progression of which an immune overreaction may play an important role. IL-22 is a member of the IL-10 superfamily of cytokines and is pleiotropic in immune regulation and inflammatory responses. IL-22 can produce protective effects, promote wound healing and tissue regeneration, while it can also induce inflammatory reactions when it is chronically overexpressed.
