IL-19, IL-20, and IL-24 are the members of IL-10 family. They are also known as IL-20 receptor (IL-20R) cytokines as they all signal through the IL-20RA/IL-20RB receptor complex; IL-20 and IL-24 (but not IL-19) also signal through the IL-20RB/IL22RA1 receptor complex. Despite their protein structure homology and shared use of receptor complexes, they display distinct biological functions in immune regulation, tissue homeostasis, host defense, and oncogenesis. IL-20R cytokines can be expressed by both immune cells and epithelial cells, and are important for their interaction. In general, these cytokines are considered to be associated with pathogenesis of chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases, including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. However, a number of studies also highlighted their suppressive functions in regulating both innate and adaptive T cell responses and other immune cells, suggesting that the role of IL-20R cytokines in autoimmunity may be complex. In this review, we will discuss the immunobiological functions of IL-20R cytokines and how they are involved in regulating autoimmune diseases.

Article Synopsis
- * The study shows that nerve injury leads to a rise in IL-24 levels in various cells (fibroblasts, neurons, OG-PCs) within affected spinal areas, and that TNF-α can trigger IL-24 production in those cells.
- * Targeting IL-24 and its receptor (IL-20R2) proves effective in reducing pain symptoms in preclinical models, suggesting that strategies aimed at modulating IL-24 levels may be beneficial for treating nerve injury-related neuropathic pain

IL-20 is a pleiotropic cytokine that belongs to the IL-10 family and has a variety of biological functions in tissue homeostasis and regulation of host immune defenses. It signals through a heterodimeric receptor composed of a subunit with a long intracellular domain (R1 type receptor) and a subunit with a short intracellular domain (R2 type receptor). In this study, the R1 type receptor (CiIL-20R1/CRFB8) and the R2 type receptor (CiIL-20R2/CRFB16) were identified in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella.

Aims: Blood clots play the primary role in neurological deficits after germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH). Previous studies have shown a beneficial effect in blood clot clearance after hemorrhagic stroke. The purpose of this study is to investigate interleukin-19's role in hematoma clearance after GMH and its underlying mechanism of IL-20R1/ERK/Nrf2 signaling pathway.
