Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is common in general surgery and organ transplantation, and in the case of liver it triggers pro-inflammatory innate immune cascade and hepatic necrosis, leading to increased incidence of early and late organ rejection. IL-22, an inducible cytokine of T-cell origin and a member of the IL-10 superfamily, acts on target tissues via IL-22 receptor (IL-22R1). Partial hepatic warm ischemia was induced in C57Bl/6 wild-type (WT) and type-1 IFN receptor (IFNAR)-deficient (KO) mice for 90 min followed by 6-24 h of reperfusion. WT mice were treated at 30 min prior to the ischemia insult with recombinant IL-22 (rIL-22) or anti-IL-22 neutralizing antibody (IL-22 Ab); PBS and IgG served as respective controls. IL-22 was detected at 24 h but not 6 h of liver IRI. The expression of IL-22R1 was increased by 6 h of reperfusion in WT but not IFNAR KO mice that were protected from IRI. Treatment of WT mice with rIL-22 decreased sAST levels, ameliorated cardinal histological features of IR damage (Suzuki’s score) and diminished leukocyte sequestration, along with the expression of IL-22R1 and pro-inflammatory cytokines. IL-22 Ab did not appreciably affect IRI but increased IL-22R1 transcription in the liver. Administration of IL-22 protein exerted hepatoprotection via STAT3 activation. This is the first report investigating immune modulation by T cell-derived IL-22 in liver injury due to warm ischemia and reperfusion. Treatment with IL-22 protein may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to prevent liver IRI in transplant recipients.
