Collagen-induced arthritis is exacerbated in IL-10-deficient mice
IL-10 is a potent immunoregulatory cytokine attenuating a wide range of immune effector and inflammatory responses. In the present study, we assess whether endogenous levels of IL-10 function to regulate the incidence and severity of collagen-induced arthritis. DBA/1 wildtype (WT), heterozygous (IL-10+/-) and homozygous (IL-10-/-) IL-10-deficient mice were immunized with type II collagen. Devel...
متن کاملEndotoxin-induced lethality in neonatal mice is counteracted by interleukin-10 (IL-10) and exacerbated by anti-IL-10.
The lethal effects occurring in neonatal (<24-h-old) BALB/c mice after challenge with 25 mg of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) per kg of body weight were significantly counteracted by pretreatment with recombinant interleukin-10 (rIL-10; 25 or 50 ng/mouse). Concordantly, blockage of endogenous IL-10 with the SXC1 monoclonal antibody increased LPS-induced mortality. Both IL-10 and SXC1 modulated the re...
متن کاملSuppression of autoimmune diabetes by viral IL-10 gene transfer.
Th1 cell activation and cytokine production shift the balance between Th1 and Th2, favoring the up-regulation of proinflammatory activity that leads to destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells in type 1 diabetes. Th2-type cytokines, such as IL-10, have immune regulatory function. Administration of IL-10, or IL-10 gene transfer, prevents autoimmune diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NO...
متن کاملIL-10 is critical in the regulation of autoimmune encephalomyelitis as demonstrated by studies of IL-10- and IL-4-deficient and transgenic mice.
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and other organ-specific autoimmune diseases are induced by autoantigen-specific Th1 cells. In contrast, transfer of autoantigen-reactive Th2 cells that produce IL-4 and IL-10 can prevent and/or reverse EAE. The relative roles of these two Th2 cytokines in the regulation of EAE has not been evaluated. Utilizing IL-4 and IL-10 knockout mice deficie...
متن کاملIL-6, IL-10 and IL-17 Gene Polymorphisms in Iranian Women with Recurrent Miscarriage
Background: Pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and polymorphisms of their genes have been described to be involved in the pathogenesis of recurrent miscarriage (RM). Objective: To investigate the association between RM and five polymorphisms of cytokine genes, interleukin 10 (IL-10), (-592 A/C, -819 C/T, -1082 A/G), IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-17 (-197 G/A) in Iranian women. Method: Po...
