Abstract
Interleukin-10 (IL-10), a cytokine from mouse Th2 cells and macrophage that inhibits IL-2 and IFN-gamma production by Th1 cells, has been reported to stimulate growth and differentiation of B cells activated by CD40 or antigen receptor crosslinking. Our early observation revealed that IL-10 had B cell growth factor (BCGF) activity in human B cells preactivated with SAC or anti-Ig. The responsiveness of the preactivated B cells to IL-10 greatly increased when B cells were activated in the presence of IL-2, whereas IL-10 has no BCGF activity when added at the initiation of activation by SAC. To investigate the dual effects (proliferation and apoptosis) of IL-10 on B cells, the expression of a panel of bcl-2 protoncogene family members, bcl-2, bcl-x, mcl-1, and bax, was analyzed when B cells were activated by SAC. Bcl-xL protein was not expressed in the small resting B cells but was induced by SAC stimulation, reaching its peak at 48 hr. The addition of IL-2 further augmented the Bcl-xL expression with the same kinetics, whereas Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 were expressed by resting B cells and enhanced by SAC stimulation. However, the addition of IL-10 at the initiation of activation down-regulated Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, and Mcl-1 expression. At the ...Continue Reading
