Interleukin-10 (IL-10), also known as human cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. In humans, IL-10 is encoded by the IL10 gene.[1]

Contents

Gene and protein structure [edit]

The IL-10 protein is a homodimer; each of its subunits is 178-amino-acid long.[2]

IL-10 is classified as a class-2 cytokine, a set of cytokines including IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24 (Mda-7), and IL-26, interferons (IFN-alpha, -beta, -epsilon, -kappa, -omega, -delta, -tau, and -gamma) and interferon-like molecules (limitin, IL-28A, IL-28B, and IL-29).[3]

Expression and synthesis [edit]

In humans, IL-10 is encoded by the IL10 gene, which is located on chromosome 1 and comprises 5 exons,[1] and is primarily produced by monocytes and, to a lesser extent, lymphocytes, namely type 2 T helper cells (TH2), mastocytes, CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells, and in a certain subset of activated T cells and B cells. IL-10 can be produced by monocytes upon PD-1 triggering in these cells.[4] The expression of IL-10 is minimal in unstimulated tissues and seems to require triggering by commensal or pathogenic flora.[5] IL-10 expression is tightly regulated at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Extensive IL-10 locus remodeling is observed in monocytes upon stimulation of TLR or Fc receptor pathways.[6] IL-10 induction involves ERK1/2, p38 and NFkB signalling and transcriptional activation via promoter binding of the transcription factors NFkB and AP-1.[6] IL-10 may autoregulate its expression via a negative feed-back loop involving autokrine stimulation of the IL-10 receptor and inhibition of the p38 signaling pathway.[7] Additionally, IL-10 expression is extensively regulated at the post-transcriptional level, which may involve control of mRNA stability via AU-rich elements[8] and by microRNAs such as let-7[9] or miR-106.[10]

IL-10 is released by cytotoxic T-cells to inhibit the action of NK cells during the immune response to viral infection.[1]

Function [edit]

IL-10 is a cytokine with pleiotropic effects in immunoregulation and inflammation. It downregulates the expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II antigens, and co-stimulatory molecules on macrophages. It also enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. IL-10 can block NF-κB activity, and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway.

Knockout studies in mice suggested the function of this cytokine as an essential immunoregulator in the intestinal tract.;[11] and, indeed, patients with Crohn's disease react favorably towards treatment with recombinant interleukin-10-producing bacteria, demonstrating the importance of IL-10 for counteracting the hyperactive immune response in the human body.[12]

A study in mice has shown that IL-10 is also produced by mast cells, counteracting the inflammatory effect that these cells have at the site of an allergic reaction.[13]

IL-10 is capable of inhibiting synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-3, TNFα and GM-CSF made by cells such as macrophages and regulatory T-cells. It also displays a potent ability to suppress the antigen-presentation capacity of antigen presenting cells; however, it is also stimulatory towards certain T cells (Th2) and mast cells and stimulates B cell maturation and antibody production.

Interactions [edit]

IL-10 has been shown to interact with Interleukin 10 receptor, alpha subunit.[14][15][16][17][18]

The receptor complex for IL-10 also requires the IL10R2 chain to initiate signalling. This ligand–receptor combination is found in birds and frogs, and is also likely to exist in bony fish.[citation needed]
