Interleukin-10 (IL-10) can downregulate expression of several proinflammatory cytokines including chemokines. This study investigated the role of IL-10 in the acute response of the rat lung to quartz particles. Intratracheal instillation of rats with 1 mg of quartz produced an inflammatory and cytotoxic response demonstrated by increased bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid neutrophils, lactate dehydrogenase, and protein. IL-10 was detected in rat lung, but IL-10 levels were not altered by quartz. In contrast, quartz increased lung levels of the chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2). Treatment with recombinant murine IL-10 (rmIL-10) attenuated quartz-induced pulmonary inflammation and injury. Pretreatment with anti-IL-10 antiserum enhanced inflammatory responses to quartz. Consistent with effects on quartz-induced inflammation, rmIL-10 and anti-IL-10 serum decreased and increased, respectively, lung MIP-2 mRNA and protein in response to quartz. Additionally, rmIL-10 reduced production of hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion, and nitric oxide by BAL cells from quartz-exposed and control rats. These results demonstrate that IL-10 is expressed in rat lung and downregulates quartz-induced inflammation and cell activation. The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory action of IL-10 after quartz administration involves, at least in part, attenuation of MIP-2 expression.
