Core Tip	This study investigates the expression of interleukin (IL)-22, IL-22R1, IL-23, and STAT3 in ulcerative colitis (UC) and UC-related carcinogenesis (UC-CRC) tissues from human and mouse. The results showed that IL-22 and related proteins were closely related to the severity of colitis, and the expression level of IL-22 and related proteins was higher in dysplasia tissues. IL-22/STAT3 signaling pathway was related to UC and UC-CRC. IL-22 can be used as a biomarker for determining the severity of UC and as an interesting therapeutic target in active UC and UC-CRC.
