Differential effects of interleukins 10 and 4 on the production of interleukin‐6 by blood and synovium monocytes in rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Objective. To determine how the antiinflammatory cytokines interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) and IL‐4 affect the production of IL‐6 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to assess the contribution of IL‐10 production.Methods. IL‐6 production was measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the supernatants of cultured RA synovium pieces (from 23 patients), purified RA synovial tissue monocyte/macrophages, and RA blood monocytes, in the presence of IL‐10 and IL‐4. IL‐10 was also detected by ELISA in culture superna… Show more

“…Not all cytokines classified as antiinflammatory were able to block MIP-3␣ production; in particular, addition of IL-10 had no effect on the production of MIP-3␣ by RA synovium and RA synoviocytes stimulated with cytokines. This finding could be related to the elevated levels of endogenous IL-10 locally produced by synovium monocytes (29,43). In keeping with this, IL-10 was found previously to have no effect on LIF or IL-6 production by isolated synoviocytes (26).…”

“…Addition of exogenous IL-4 to cultures of RA synovial tissue cells or synovial tissue explants suppresses synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-1, TNF-␣, and GM-CSF as well as metalloproteinases. [26][27][28] These activities might be related to either suppression of Th1 function or a direct effect on synoviocytes and macrophages in RA. Furthermore, the potential usefulness of Th2 cytokines in RA is supported by the observation that T cell clones from rheumatoid joints tend to exhibit a Th1 phenotype.…”

“…In many cases, their precise roles are, as yet, incompletely defined. A growing body of evidence from both animal models of arthritis and human RA suggests that Th2-type cytokines, such as IL-4 and IL-10, can protect against arthritis, whereas Th1-type cytokines, such as IL-2 and IFN-␥, can be pro-inflammatory (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”
