Abstract
Inflammatory and autoimmune diseases are pathological immune disorders and pose significant public health challenges due to their impact on individuals and society. Cytokine dysregulation plays a critical role in the development of these disorders. Interleukin (IL)-24, a member of the IL-10 cytokine family, can be secreted by various cell types, including immune and non-immune cells. The downstream effects of IL-24 upon binding to its receptors can occur in dependence on, or independently of, the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and the activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway. IL-24 and its downstream pathways influence crucial processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation, with its role varying across different diseases. On the one hand, IL-24 can inhibit the activation of pathogenic cells and autoimmune responses in autoimmune ocular diseases; on the other hand, IL-24 has been also implicated in promoting tissue damage by fostering immune cell activation and infiltration in psoriasis and allergic diseases. It suggests that IL-24, as a multifunctional cytokine, has complex regulatory functions in immune cells and related diseases. In this paper, we summarize the current knowledge on IL-24's immunomodulatory actions and its involvement in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Such insights may pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
期刊介绍：
Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics (CBB) aims to publish papers on the nature of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms underlying the structure, control and function of cellular systems
The reports should be within the framework of modern biochemistry and chemistry, biophysics and cell physiology, physics and engineering, molecular and structural biology. The relationship between molecular structure and function under investigation is emphasized.
Examples of subject areas that CBB publishes are:
· biochemical and biophysical aspects of cell structure and function;
· interactions of cells and their molecular/macromolecular constituents;
· innovative developments in genetic and biomolecular engineering;
· computer-based analysis of tissues, cells, cell networks, organelles, and molecular/macromolecular assemblies;
· photometric, spectroscopic, microscopic, mechanical, and electrical methodologies/techniques in analytical cytology, cytometry and innovative instrument design
For articles that focus on computational aspects, authors should be clear about which docking and molecular dynamics algorithms or software packages are being used as well as details on the system parameterization, simulations conditions etc. In addition, docking calculations (virtual screening, QSAR, etc.) should be validated either by experimental studies or one or more reliable theoretical cross-validation methods.
