Endogenous Interleukin-10 Inhibits Angiotensin II–Induced Vascular Dysfunction

Abstract: Abstract-Angiotensin II (Ang II) produces inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in blood vessels. We tested the hypothesis that interleukin 10 (IL-10), an antiinflammatory cytokine, protects against Ang II-induced vascular dysfunction. Responses of carotid arteries from wild-type and IL-10 -deficient mice (IL-10 Ϫ/Ϫ ) were examined in vitro after overnight incubation with vehicle or Ang II (1 nmol/L). In arteries from wild-type mice, acetylcholine (an endothelium-dependent agonist) produced relaxation that … Show more

“…[65][66][67][68] Mice deficient in IL-10, an important product of Tregs, develop similar degrees of hypertension in response to angiotensin II, but have severe endothelial dysfunction and vessels from these mice show an increased superoxide production when incubated with angiotensin II. 69 These and other data suggest that Treg-derived IL-10 mediates the beneficial effects of Tregs in hypertension. 70 IL-2/anti-IL-2 immune complex treatment of hypertensive mice expands Tregs and reduces aortic stiffening.…”

“…The relaxation by acetylcholine in aortic rings of C101A/ eNOS-KO was found to be mediated by NO and developed at tissue levels of superoxide and/or peroxynitrite, resembling those occurring in various animal models with clearly detectable impairment of eNOS function and/or endothelialdependent vasodilation (2,7,15,21,32,33,61). However, in each of these studies, concomitant conditions, such as atherosclerosis, severe hypertension, diabetes, or disruption of certain genes such as interleukin 10 or Bmal1, were present, which might have contributed to endothelial dysfunction beside oxidative and/or nitrosative stress.…”

“…Firstly, as the most temporal immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory molecule, IL-10 maintains the balance of the utero-placental produced pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors [8]. Secondly, recent studies showed that IL-10 promotes de novo angiogenesis at the maternal-fetal interface through inducing production of vascular endothelial growth factor, consequently improves implantation and placental development [9,39]. In addition, IL-10 emerges as a novel modulator of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which is essential to protein synthesis and energy balance.…”
