Exaggerated expression of skeletal muscle-derived interleukin-6, but not TNFα, in mice lacking interleukin-10

Abstract: IL-10 reduces cytokine expression in non-muscle tissues, but its effect on skeletal muscle remains undefined. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that endogenous IL-10 acts to reduce cytokines in the gastrocnemius muscle by comparing IL-6 and TNFα expression in wild-type (IL-10 +/+ ) and IL-10 deficient (IL-10 −/− ) mice following an inflammatory insult induced by peripheral LPS. IL-6 mRNA expression increased following LPS for both IL-10 +/+ and IL-10 −/− mice; the response was greater and prolonged in IL-10 … Show more

“…The IL-10 results (Fig. 3) also support the IL-6 findings, as IL-6 infusion increases IL-10 in humans (53) and IL-10 knockout animals have an exaggerated skeletal muscle IL-6 response to an inflammatory insult (26), suggesting IL-10 is a regulator of IL-6.…”

“…We suspect that although this reduction is significant, the 100-fold increase in IL-6 mRNA seen in the tolerant mice approaches the maximal capacity of the cells to translate the protein. Further mRNA induction would not induce much more protein expression, accounting for the fact that a similar dramatic reduction in IL-6 protein was not observed (25). Additionally, the antiinflammatory mediator IL-10 has been shown to play a role in various models of LPS tolerance (26, 27).…”

“…IL-10 is well known for its function to suppress inflammatory immune responses by targeting the transcription of pro-inflammatory mediators (33). Since IL-10 mRNA was elevated with bed rest, it is possible that this might be a mechanism to counteract a pro-inflammatory response (21). In fact, IL-6 is known to stimulate IL-10 production, thereby providing a physiological brake on the overall pro-inflammatory status (45).…”
