Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The project turned out to be quite successful in terms of generating new and in part unexpected insights in the biology of IL-22 in the kidney. To my best knowledge, we were the only ones in the world working on this topic and could come up with a bunch of new concepts following our initial paper published in J Am Soc Nephrol on IL-22 in acute kidney injury. We explored kidney regeneration, chronic progressive kidney atrophy, and renal cancer, just to name a few. As the most exciting result we identified IL-22R expression as a prognostic biomarker for clear cell RCC and raised a rationale also for using IL-22 blockade as a sensitizer for cytotoxic therapies. If there is a role for this in the current phase of check point inhibitors remains to be seen.
