ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Interleukin 35 (IL-35) has recently been characterized as a cytokine connected with the IL-12 group. The secretion of IL-35 was described in forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) + regulatory T cells (Tregs), peripheral γδ T cells, CD8+ T cells, placental trophoblasts, antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and regulatory B cells (Breg).

Aim:
The aim of this paper is to systematize current knowledge about IL-35 production and discuss its impact on the pathophysiology and outcome of various diseases.

Material and methods:
Literature review was conducted.

Results and discussion:
IL-35 plays a pivotal role in the immune dysregulation in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, psychiatric and neurologic disorders, cancer, allergic and autoimmune diseases and psoriasis, inducing the expression of Treg-related cytokines and inhibiting the expression of Th1- and Th17-related cytokines.
