Circulating IL-6 upregulates IL-10 production in splenic CD4+ T cells and limits acute kidney injury–induced lung inflammation

Abstract: Although it is well established that acute kidney injury (AKI) is a proinflammatory state, little is known about the endogenous counter-inflammatory response. IL-6 is traditionally considered a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is elevated in the serum in both human and murine AKI. However, IL-6 is known to have anti-inflammatory effects. Here we sought to investigate the role of IL-6 in the counter-inflammatory response after AKI, particularly in regard to the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Ischemic AKI was i… Show more

“…In murine kidney ischemia and reperfusion injury, anti-IL-6 therapy by gene delivery was capable of improving renal function and of decreasing NGAL concentrations, indicating some causal involvement of IL-6 (33). IL-6 also seems to have anti-inflammatory effects via upregulation of splenic IL-10 and thereby inhibiting AKI-induced remote organ injury such as lung inflammation (34). Here, we report that IL-6 was able to induce TNK1 expression in a kidney cell line, which so far has been barely found to be regulated.…”

“…Describing this early immune response pathway could have an important impact on future research, including the development of novel therapeutic interventions. Current data suggest that T cells play a key role in the initiation and propagation of the immune reaction in experimental AKI [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…IL-6 is considered to be a primarily pro-inflammatory and IL-10 an anti-inflammatory cytokine [18]. However, IL-6 is also known to be able to promote proand anti-inflammatory responses depending on the type of injury and the organ in which it is examined, e.g., by directly increasing IL-10 levels [19]. It is also known that lidocaine, another common amide-linked local anesthetic, might be able to decrease the release of pulmonary TNF-α and IL-1β after an inflammatory stimulus, while at the same time leaving the secretion of IL-6 unaffected [20].…”
