Abstract:
Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a recently discovered cytokine, and growing evidence suggests that IL-23 plays an important role in the development and progression of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases. In recent years, certain research advances in association between IL-23 and liver diseases have been achieved at home and abroad. General features and biological characteristics of IL-23 are described, and its role in the development and progression of diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and hepatocellular carcinoma is reviewed here, so that clinicians will have a deeper understanding of the effect of IL-23 in liver diseases and provide optimized therapies for patients with liver diseases.
