Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver autoimmune disease with augmented T
helper (Th) 1 and corresponding cytokine IFN-γ immune responses. Using 2-octynoic acid (2 …

METHODS: We prospectively studied 41 consecutive patients with AH at diagnosis, days 7
and 90, and followed them for up to 1 year. We measured IL-22 pathway proteins in liver …

Background/objectives As a proinflammatory cytokine, interleukin-17 (IL-17) contributes to
the inflammation of many autoimmune diseases. We examined IL-17 levels in serum and …

Objective This research aimed to explore the involvement of interleukins (IL)-IL-6, IL-17, IL-
21, and IL-23-in the evolution and diagnosis of non-alcoholic liver fibrosis and cirrhosis …

Abstract Background Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is required for T helper 17 (Th17) cell responses
and IL-17 production in hepatitis B virus infection. A previous study showed that the IL-23/IL …

Abstract Introduction Interleukin (IL)-22, originally referred to as IL-TIF for IL-10-related T cell-
derived inducible factor, is a member of the IL-10-like cytokine family. IL-22 is highly …

Background Recently, involvement of IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24 has been reported in
inflammatory diseases associated with tissue remodeling. However, their impact on the …

Objective: Detecting serum IL-37 concentrations and HBeAg seroconversion in chronic
hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients during the treatment of telbivudine (LDT). Methods: Fifty …

Abstract Background Interleukin (IL)-35 is a newly indentified cytokine and induces
immunotolerance via suppression of CD8+ T cell activity in chronic viral hepatitis. Aims To …

Xiang et al. published interesting insights about the role of interleukin (IL)-22 in acute-on-
chronic liver failure (ACLF). 1 The authors elegantly analysed the effects of IL-22 in a mouse …
