Possible Roles of Interleukin-4 and -13 and Their Receptors in Gastric and Colon Cancer

Abstract: Interleukin (IL)-4 and -13 are structurally and functionally related cytokines sharing common receptor subunits. They regulate immune responses and, moreover, are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of human neoplasms. Three different receptors have been described for IL-4, but only IL-4 receptor type II (IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα1) is expressed in solid tumors. While IL-13 can also bind to three different receptors, IL-13 receptor type I (IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα1/IL-13Rα2) and type II (IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα1) are expressed in sol… Show more

“…IL-13 is an immunomodulatory factor that can regulate inflammation and immune response ( 19 ). IL-13 is produced by a variety of immune cells, such as CD4-T cells, basophils, eosinophils and NK cells, which are essential for the induction and persistence of type 2 immune responses.…”

“…In addition, IL-13 appears to play its own distinct role in cancer cells through binding to IL-13Rα2 with high affinity [77] and mediating invasion and metastasis via IL-13Rα2, ERK/activator protein 1 (AP-1) signaling, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) pathways [78]. Besides, Song summarized the structure of IL-4R, IL-13R, and the downstream complex web where IL-4/IL-13 initiated signal transduction through three types of IL-4 receptors and three types of IL-13 receptors [79].…”

“…While IL-13 can also connect to three separate receptors, IL-13 receptor type I (IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα1/IL-13Rα2) and type II (IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα1) are expressed in solid tumors. After binding to its receptor, IL-4 and IL-13 can mediate tumor cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis in colorectal and gastric cancers ( Song et al, 2021 ).…”
