Autocrine Deactivation of Macrophages in Transgenic Mice Constitutively Overexpressing IL-10 Under Control of the Human CD68 Promoter

Lang, Roland, Rutschman, Robert L, Greaves, David R, Murray, Peter J·2002·The Journal of Immunology

Abstract

IL-10 plays an essential role in blocking cytokine production by activated macrophages. To analyze the consequences of enforced expression of IL-10 by macrophages on innate and adaptive immune responses, we generated transgenic mice (macIL-10tg mice) expressing an epitope-tagged IL-10 (Flag-IL-10) under control of the human CD68 promoter. Expression of Flag-IL-10 was constitutive and restricted to macrophages, as shown by sorting splenocyte cell populations and intracellular staining for IL-10. Transgenic macrophages displayed suppressed production of TNF-α and IL-12 upon stimulation with LPS. When macIL-10tg mice were challenged with LPS, serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines were attenuated compared with controls. Infection with Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guérin resulted in ∼10-fold-higher bacterial loads than in wild-type mice. Normal T and B cell responses were observed in macIL-10tg mice, suggesting that macrophage-specific overexpression of IL-10 predominantly acts in an autocrine/paracrine manner, resulting in chronically deactivated macrophages that manifest an impaired ability to control pathogens.

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.
