title: Regulation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes IL-10 BY SMS 201-995.
abstract: The somatostatin analog SMS 201-995 inhibits human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) proliferation and here we demonstrate that it induces a significant increase in T cells IL-10 release as is evidenced in double fluorescence experiments. Seizing IL-10 by monoclonal antibody, SMS does not affect lymphocyte proliferation, suggesting that this cytokine is involved in the antiproliferative effect of these analog. We previously demonstrated that SMS inhibits T cells acting on the CD28 rather than the CD3-mediated signal in exactly the same way as does IL-10. Thus SMS inhibits human PBL activation by inducing IL-10 release and the consequent inhibition of the CD28 co-stimulatory pathway providing new perspectives on developing immunosuppressive strategies.
