IL-10 selectively induces HLA-G expression in human trophoblasts and monocytes

Abstract

HLA-G plays an essential role in feto-maternal tolerance by inhibiting lysis by maternal NK cells. The factors that allow tissue-specific activation of HLA-G gene expression in trophoblasts remain to be characterized. We investigated the potential effect of IL-10, a cytokine which is secreted in placenta, on HLA-G gene transcription in trophoblasts. Using Northern blot, RNase protection assay and RT-PCR analysis, we demonstrated that IL-10 enhances steady-state levels of HLA-G transcription in cultured trophoblast cells. We further tested the effect of IL-10 on HLA-G gene transcription and protein expression in peripheral blood monocytes, showing that IL-10 can up-regulate HLA-G cell surface expression in this cell type. This effect of IL-10 is selective, since classical MHC class I products and MHC class II are down-regulated in monocytes following IL-10 treatment. Induction of HLA-G expression by IL-10 on monocytes may thus play a role in down-regulation of the immune response. We propose that IL-10 secretion by trophoblasts during pregnancy may also influence the HLA class I expression pattern at the feto-maternal barrier, thus protecting the fetus from rejection. This should be taken into consideration in the design of treatment for pathologies of pregnancy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
