IL-10 inhibits apoptotic cell death in human T cells starved of IL-2

Abstract: IL-10 was originally described as an inhibitory factor produced by murine Th2 lymphocytes that suppresses IFN-gamma production by activated murine Th1 lymphocytes. In this study, we have analyzed the effect of human IL-10 on human T cell death induced by IL-2 deprivation. IL-2-dependent T lymphocytes rapidly die when deprived of IL-2. This cell death was found to involve loss of cell volume, chromatin condensation, and DNA fragmentation, all characteristic of apoptosis. After 2 days incubation in culture mediu… Show more

“…These observations are reminiscent of previous studies showing that IL-10 can rescue human CD8 þ T cells from apoptotic cell death. 39,74,75 The signalling cascade activated by IL-10 differs from that used by IL-2 and IL-15. The binding of IL-10 to its receptor complex activates the JAK1 and Tyk2 kinases and involves STAT3 and STAT1.…”

“…Moreover, IL-10 stimulates the growth of B cells (6) and serves as a cofactor with IL-2, IL-4, and IL-7 in promoting the growth of murine thymocytes as well as mature T cells (7), and with IL-3 or IL-4 in stimulating proliferation of mast cells (8). IL-10 has been reported to prevent the apoptotic cell death of IL-2-dependent T cells and germinal center B cells (9,10).…”

“…Induction of apoptosis can be initiated or prevented by signals though cell membrane proteins (CD2, CD3, CD4 or others) or by soluble factors like interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7, IL-4, G-or GM-CSF [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Programmed cell death seems to be of central importance, not only for the well balanced function of the immune system.…”
