“…In addition to limiting collateral tissue damage caused by uncontrolled immune responses, IL-10 helps maintain the regulatory microenvironment by upregulating TSG-6, M2 macrophages, and, tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC-10), antigen-specific T regulatory type 1 (Tr1), while suppressing Th1/Th17 effector immunity ( 65 , 67 , 68 , 71 , 73 , 79 , 80 ). Through the surface expression of TSG-6, FOXJ1, Fascin-1, and β-catenin proteins, IL-10 enhances microvascular supply, tissue oxygenation, and airway epithelium regeneration in allografts, further supporting the therapeutic benefits during wound healing and tissue repair ( 46 , 65 , 66 , 81 ). The relationship between inflammation and fibrogenesis has led to IL-10 being identified as a potential antifibrotic target as well as a gatekeeper of fibrotic/antifibrotic signaling, so immune and cell-based therapies aiming to capitalize on IL-10 as a target could be effective in treating lung transplanted patients suffering from delayed would healing.…”
