Regulation and function of IL-22 in peritoneal adhesion formation after abdominal surgery
WOUND REPAIR AND REGENERATION(2020)
摘要
Peritoneal adhesion occurs frequently after gastrointestinal/gynecological surgery. Tissue repair and regeneration are very important during this process. IL-22 is an important cytokine that is secreted from immune cells but functions on mesenchymal cells, such as mesothelial cells. The objective of this study was to investigate the roles of IL-22 and its regulators during adhesion formation. Postsurgical peritoneal drainage fluid from patients and rodent models was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. It was observed that IL-22 expression in the abdominal cavity was rapidly induced 12 hours after surgery and then slowly decreased to a lower, steady level for up to 7 days after surgery. However, neutralizing IL-22 at the time point at which the highest level of expression was observed failed to reduce adhesion, but neutralizing IL-22 at a later time point, i.e., 3 days after surgery, prevented adhesion significantly. The IL-22 receptor was induced on the mesothelial membrane, and IL-22BP, an inhibitor of IL-22, was reduced 3 days after surgery. Furthermore, IFN-gamma was identified to have the ability to induce IL-22R, and IL-18, which was induced by the infiltrating macrophages, was found to inhibit IL-22BP expression both in vivo and in vitro. Together, these data suggest that IL-22 may promote adhesion formation and that the regulation of IL-22, IL-22R, and IL-22BP may have therapeutic potential to prevent adhesion formation after surgery without disturbing the normal immune process.
