The antiangiogenic role of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-31 [PDF]
Pro-inflammatory cytokines in the tumor microenvironment are known for their ability to either inhibit or promote cancer progression. Here we evaluated the role of Interleukin-31 (IL31), a protein belonging to the pro-inflammatory IL-6 cytokine family which has been characterized in autoimmune disease, in tumorigenesis.

Association of mastocytosis with interleukin 31 gene polymorphism [PDF]
Mastocytosis is a rare disease characterized by activating KIT mutations and clonal expansion of mast cells (MCs) in tissues, particularly in skin and bone marrow. Symptoms of mastocytosis always correlate with the extent of MC infiltration and include urticaria pigmentosa, anaphylaxis, flushing, headache, diarrhea, osteoporosis and pruritus ...

Interleukin-31 expression and relation to disease severity in human asthma [PDF]
AbstractInterleukin 31 (IL-31) is a novel T helper type 2 effector cytokine that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. However, its role in human asthma remains unclear. The aim of this study was to measure IL-31 levels in the serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and bronchial tissue of asthmatics and healthy subjects ...
