Abstract

The importance of IL-23 and its specific receptor, IL-23R, in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases has been established, but the underlying pathological mechanisms are not fully understood. This review focuses on IL-23R expression and regulation in immune cells.

Keywords: Chronic inflammatory diseases; Gene regulation; Interleukin-23 (IL-23); Interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R); Transcription factors.
