Intratracheal administration of interleukin-10 (IL-10) has been reported to inhibit allergic inflammation but augment airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). In the present study, airway and smooth muscle responsiveness to methacholine (MCh) were compared in wild-type (WT) and IL-10-deficient (IL-10-KO) mice to investigate the role of endogenous IL-10 in AHR development. Naive WT and IL-10-KO mice exhibited similar dose-dependent increases in airway resistance (Raw) to intravenous MCh. Sensitization and challenge with ragweed (RW) induced a twofold increase in responsiveness to intravenous MCh in WT mice, but hyperresponsiveness was not observed in similarly treated IL-10-KO mice. Likewise, tracheal rings from RW-sensitized and -challenged WT mice exhibited a fourfold greater responsiveness to MCh than IL-10-KO tracheal preparations. Measurements of airway constriction by whole body plethysmography further supported the Raw and tracheal ring data (i.e., AHR was not observed in the absence of IL-10). Interestingly, factors previously implicated in the development of AHR, including IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IgA, IgG1, IgE, eosinophilia, and lymphocyte recruitment to the airways, were upregulated in the IL-10-KO mice. Treatment with recombinant murine IL-10 at the time of allergen challenge reduced the magnitude of inflammation but reinstated AHR development in IL-10-KO mice. Adoptive transfer of mononuclear splenocytes to IL-10-sufficient severe combined immunodeficient mice indicated that lymphocytes were an important source of the IL-10 impacting AHR development. These results provide evidence that IL-10 expression promotes the development of allergen-induced smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness.
