Abstract
IL-35 is a recently discovered protein made up of IL-12α and IL-27β chains. It is encoded by IL12A and EBI3 genes. Interest in researching IL-35 has significantly increased in recent years, as evidenced by numerous scientific publications. Diabetes is on the rise globally, causing more illness and death in developing countries. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports that diabetes is increasingly affecting children and teenagers, with varying rates across different regions. Therefore, scientists seek new diabetes treatments despite the growth of drug research. Recent research aims to emphasize IL-35 as a critical regulator of diabetes, especially type 1 and autoimmune diabetes. This review provides an overview of recent research on IL-35 and its link to diabetes and its associated complications. Studies suggest that IL-35 can offer protection against type-1 diabetes and autoimmune diabetes by regulating macrophage polarization, T-cell-related cytokines, and regulatory B cells (Bregs). This review will hopefully assist biomedical scientists in exploring the potential role of IL-35-mediated immunotherapy in treating diabetes. However, further research is necessary to determine the exact mechanism and plan clinical trials.
