  • Title: Wound healing in cutaneous leishmaniasis: A double edged sword of IL-10 and TGF-β.
    Author: Abdoli A, Maspi N, Ghaffarifar F.
    Journal: Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis; 2017 Apr; 51():15-26. PubMed ID: 28504090.
    Abstract:
    Immune responses have a crucial role during the wound healing process in cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). However, there are several paradoxes in immunity against CL. On the one hand, regulatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-10 and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) increase susceptibility to CL through suppression of several proinflammatory cytokines that require for defense against CL. On the other hand, these cytokines play a pivotal role in the acceleration of wound healing process. This review discusses about the dual role of IL-10 and TGF-β during the wound healing process and immunity against CL to offer a new insight about wound healing in CL.
