IL-10 selectively regulates murine Ig isotype switching

Abstract: A role for IL-10 in regulating Ig isotype switching directly at the level of the murine B cell has not been previously reported. In this report we show that IL-10 selectively up-regulated IgM to IgG3 class switching in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated cultures through a direct effect on membrane (m) IgM+IgG3(-)B cells in vitro. IL-10 stimulated a 3- to 4-fold enhancement (from 6-8 to 20-30%) in membrane mIgG3(+) cells and a significant increase in Smu-Sgamma3 DNA rearrangement events as measured by digestion… Show more

“…IgM and IgG3 are the predominant isotypes secreted by marginal zone B cells, and these are the isotypes of the neutralizing Abs that are detected early after infection of mice with FMDV (7). The secretion of IFN-␥ and IL-10 by splenocytes stimulated by FMDV-infected DCs is also consistent with the production of IgG3 during this early stage, because these cytokines promote a switch toward this isotype (47,48). These TI-neutralizing Abs are sufficient to clear the virus in 3 days after infection.…”

“…IL-10 may also act later during the adaptive phase of the humoral response to R36A by inhibiting CD28 signaling, through a direct effect on T cells (38). Further, IL-10 can act directly on B cells to stimulate switching to IgG3 (70), but this effect was not observed in response to R36A.…”

“…The dramatic increase in IgG3 levels seen in B6 mice (and to a much lesser extent in CD4 KO mice) may be regulated by IL-10 production. This cytokine has been shown to promote switching to IgG3 in LPS-activated B cells (35) and is produced in elevated amounts by splenic cells from MAIDS-infected mice (36). These results show that the absence of CD4 on T cells has the effect of down-regulating in vivo Ab responses during MAIDS infection, and furthermore that the interaction of CD4 with class II, on the B cells, provides signals required for isotype switching and terminal differentiation.…”
