Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic cytokine
that controls inflammatory processes by suppressing the production of
proinflammatory cytokines that are known to be transcriptionally
regulated by nuclear factor-
B (NF-
B). Although still
controversial, IL-10 has been shown to inhibit NF-
B activation
through a process that involves proteolytic degradation of inhibitory
subunit I
B-
. What is not known, however, is the mechanism by
which IL-10 exerts its effect on I
B-
degradation. The present
study investigates the possible role of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
and their inhibition by IL-10 in NF-
B activation and I
B-
degradation in macrophages. Treatment of the cells with
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) caused activation of NF-
B and rapid
proteolysis of I
B-
as determined by the electrophoretic mobility
shift assay, gene transfection, and Western blot. IL-10 pretreatment
inhibited both NF-
B activation and I
B-
degradation. Both of
these processes were also inhibited by ROS scavengers, catalase
(H2O2 scavenger), and sodium formate (·OH
scavenger) but were minimally affected by superoxide dismutase
(O
B-
degradation and generation of ·OH radicals in response to
LPS stimulation. These results demonstrate, for the first time, direct
evidence for the role of IL-10 in ROS-dependent NF-
B activation.
