Resolution of inflammation in immune and non-immune cells by Interleukin-19.

Resolution of inflammation in immune and non-immune cells by Interleukin-19. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 2020 Jul 15;: Authors: Leigh T, Scalia RG, Autieri MV Abstract The inflammatory response is a complex, tightly regulated process activated by tissue wounding, foreign body invasion, and sterile inflammation. Over the decades, great progress has been made to advance our understanding of this process. One often overlooked aspect of inflammation is its sequel; resolution. We know that dysregulated resolution often results in numerous chronic degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cancer, and asthma. However, identification of components and mechanisms of resolving pathways lag behind those of pro-inflammatory processes, yet represent overlooked therapeutic opportunities. One approach is identification of endogenous, negative compensatory mechanisms which are activated in response to inflammation for the purpose of resolution of that inflammatory stimuli. This review will focus on literature that describes expression and function of Interleukin-19, a proposed anti-inflammatory cytokine, in numerous inflammatory diseases. The literature concerning IL-19 is complex, context-dependent, and often contradictory. The expression and function of IL-19 in the inflammatory response is in no way settled. We will attempt to clarify the role that this interesting and understudied cytokine plays in resolution of inflammation and discuss its mechan...
