expression in rats by interleukin-10
Research Institute Neurosciences Free University, Department of Medical Pharmacology, VU University Medical Center, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide
(LPS) induces fever that is mediated by pyrogenic cytokines such as
interleukin (IL)-1
. We hypothesized that the anti-inflammatory
cytokine IL-10 modulates the febrile response to LPS by suppressing the
production of pyrogenic cytokines. In rats, intravenous but not
intracerebroventricular infusion of IL-10 was found to attenuate fever
induced by peripheral administration of LPS (10 µg/kg iv). IL-10 also
suppressed LPS-induced IL-1
production in peripheral tissues and in
the brain stem. In contrast, central administration of IL-10 attenuated
the febrile response to central LPS (60 ng/rat icv) and decreased
IL-1
production in the hypothalamus and brain stem but not in
peripheral tissues and plasma. Furthermore, intravenous LPS upregulated
expression of IL-10 receptor (IL-10R1) mRNA in the liver, whereas
intracerebroventricular LPS enhanced IL-10R1 mRNA in the hypothalamus.
We conclude that IL-10 modulates the febrile response by acting in the
periphery or in the brain dependent on the primary site of inflammation and that its mechanism of action most likely involves inhibition of
local IL-1
production.
