The cytokine interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a critical regulator of epithelial homeostasis. It has been implicated in multiple aspects of epithelial barrier function, including regulation of epithelial cell growth and permeability, production of mucus and antimicrobial proteins (AMPs), and complement production. In this review, we focus specifically on the role of IL-22 in the intestinal epithelium. We summarize recent advances in our understanding of how IL-22 regulates homeostasis and host defense, and we discuss the IL-22 pathway as a therapeutic target in diseases of the intestine, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and cancer.

Host-microbiota cooperation is critical for successful intestinal homeostasis. The commensal segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) are crucial for orchestrating the post-natal maturation of the host gut immune system and establishing a healthy state of physiological inflammation, which largely depends on their intimate attachment to the ileal mucosa. However, the signaling pathways used by SFB to induce gut immune responses and how such responses ultimately control SFB colonization remain controversial.

Introduction: The stability and metabolic functionality of donor microbiota are critical determinants of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) efficacy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While probiotics show potential to enhance microbiota resilience, their role in optimizing donor microbiota for FMT remains underexplored.
Objectives: This study investigated whether pretreatment of donor microbiota with L.

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorder and its pathological mechanism remains incompletely understood. Detailed exploration of this mechanism is crucial to identify key regulatory molecules influencing its progression. In previous studies, Annexin A3 (ANXA3), a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein from the annexin family, has been linked to psoriasis progression.

To distinguish pathogens from commensals, the intestinal epithelium employs cytosolic innate immune sensors. Activation of the NAIP-NLRC4 inflammasome initiates extrusion of infected intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) upon cytosolic bacterial sensing. We previously reported that activation of the inflammasome in tuft cells, which are primarily known for their role in parasitic infections, leads to the release of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2).

The study aims to evaluate the significant role of interleukin 15 (IL-15), IL-22, IL-37, and Caspase 9 gene expression in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), focusing on the underlying mechanisms and potential diagnostic or therapeutic implications. Peripheral blood has been collected, and serum was separated for the evaluation of the serum IL-15, IL-22, and IL-37. The ELISA technique has been carried out to determine the serum levels of understudied factors mentioned above in Iraqi women patients diagnosed with PCOS (No.
