IL-6 and TNF-
production by Kupffer cells is markedly stimulated following trauma-hemorrhage (T-H). Because IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, the aim of this study was to determine whether IL-10 regulates Kupffer cell proinflammatory cytokine release following T-H. To study this, we subjected adult male Sprague-Dawley rats to sham operation or T-H. The procedure involved a 5-cm midline laparotomy and
90 min of hemorrhagic shock (35 mmHg), followed by resuscitation with four times the shed blood volume in the form of Ringer's lactate. At 2 h after the end of resuscitation, livers were perfused in vitro and perfusate was collected. In separate studies, Kupffer cells were isolated and incubated with different concentrations of anti-IL-10 MAb. IgG was used as control. After 16 h of incubation, IL-6 and TNF-
levels were measured by ELISA. Plasma IL-10 levels increased significantly following T-H. IL-10 levels in the perfusate and IL-10 production by cultured Kupffer cells were also significantly higher in the T-H group. When Kupffer cells were incubated with 10 µg/ml of anti-IL-10 MAb, IL-6 and TNF-
production were significantly increased in both sham and T-H groups compared with those not treated with anti-IL-10 MAb. However, these changes were not observed when the cells were incubated with irrelevant (control) IgG. These results indicate that IL-10 production by Kupffer cells early after T-H may play a pivotal role in attenuating the proinflammatory cytokine environment, possibly in an autocrine/paracrine manner.
