title: Differential responses of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells to anti-inflammatory cytokines: IL-4, IL-13 and IL-10.
abstract: Recombinant preparations of human anti-inflammatory cytokines: IL-4, IL-13 and IL-10, inhibited LPS-induced synthesis of TNFalpha and IL-6 in the whole human blood tested in vitro. These cytokines also inhibited LPS-induced IL-6 and TNF mRNA accumulation in isolated human blood monocytes/macrophages. On the other hand, similar concentrations of IL-4 and IL-13 (but not IL-10) enhanced synthesis of IL-6 in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In human hepatoma HepG2 cells IL-4 and IL-13 (but not IL-10) inhibited IL-6-induced synthesis of haptoglobin. These differential responses to the tested anti-inflammatory cytokines were observed at mRNA and protein levels and may reflect cell specificities in signalling pathways and gene expression. When HUVEC and HepG2 cells were cultured together and stimulated with LPS the addition of IL-4 or IL-13 resulted in the reduction of LPS-induced and IL-6-mediated haptoglobin synthesis. Thus in co-culture the inhibitory effects of IL-4 or IL-13 on HepG2 cells prevail over stimulation of IL-6 synthesis in HUVEC.
