Effect of interleukin-10 on dendritic cell maturation and function

European Journal of Immunology

Abstract

The main function of dendritic cells (DC) is to induce the differentiation of naive T lymphocytes into helper cells producing a large array of lymphokines, including interleukin (IL)-2; interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10. The potent immunostimulatory properties of DC develop during a process of maturation that occurs spontaneously in vitro. Since IL-10 has been shown to inhibit Th1 responses, we determined its effect on DC maturation and accessory function. Our data show that DC that have undergone maturation in vitro in the presence of IL-10, have an impaired capacity to induce a Th1-type response in vivo, leading to the development of Th2 lymphocytes. Their inability to promote the synthesis of IFN-gamma seems to correlate with a decreased production of IL-12, an heterodimeric cytokine necessary for optimal generation of Th1-type cells. These results suggest that IL-10 skews the Th1/Th2 balance to Th2 in vivo by selectively blocking IL-12 synthesis by the antigen-presenting cells that play a role of adjuvant of the primary immune response. The cytokines present in the environment at the presentation step may, therefore, determine the class of the immune response induced by DC in vivo, i.e. Th0, Th1 and/or Th2.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
