Interleukin 10

IL-10 is a cytokine with multiple, 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.

Discovered in 1991 IL-10 was initially reported to suppress cytokine secretion, antigen presentation and CD4+ T cell activation. Further investigation has shown that IL-10 predominantly inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and bacterial product mediated induction of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, IL-12, and IFNγ secretion from Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) triggered myeloid lineage cells.

Summary

IL-10 is a cytokine interleukin which has a central role in downregulating inflammatory cascades and matrix metalloproteinases, making it a likely candidate for use in therapeutic intervention to treat inflammation. It plays a role in limiting the host immune response so that the host does not harm its own cells and maintains normal tissue homeostasis. It is also responsible for enhancing B-cell survival, proliferation, and antibody secretion.
