The Role of IL-33 in Gut Mucosal Inflammation by Luca Pastorelli, Carlo De Salvo, Maurizio Vecchi, Theresa T. Pizarro

“…Animal models of IBD were subsequently utilized in order to mechanistically determine the precise role of IL-33 in chronic intestinal inflammation, without, however, reaching conclusive evidence demonstrating whether IL-33 is pathogenic or protective. Indeed, data generated from these studies suggest that IL-33 may possess dichotomous functions, enhancing inflammatory responses on one hand and promoting epithelial integrity on the other. …”
