Objectives: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune
bleeding disease characterized by thrombocytopenia. This review will examine the
Notch-aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-interleukin-22 (IL-22) signaling
pathway regulatory mechanisms in ITP to generate ideas for the pathogenesis and
etiological investigation of the disease. Mechanism: Studies had shown that an abnormal imbalance of immune cells and
immune factors is associated with ITP pathogenesis. The Notch-AhR-IL-22 signaling
pathway disrupts the immune microenvironment in vivo, which contributes
to the pathogenesis of ITP. Findings in Brief: Several
studies have suggested that the pathogenesis of ITP may be mediated by multiple
pathways, such as Notch signaling that induces AhR to increase direct secretion
of IL-22 from CD4
