Interleukin (IL)-10 appears to play an important regulatory role in the systemic inflammatory response; however, production of IL-10 within the human central nervous system has not been described. Using cultures of human fetal microglial cells, the resident macrophages of the brain, we investigated the production and regulation of bioactive IL-10. Lipopolysaccharide stimulated acute release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (peak by 8 h) and delayed production of IL-10 (over a 48-h period) in microglial cell cultures. Treatment of microglial cell cultures with TNF-alpha and IL-6 resulted in a dose-dependent release of IL-10. These cytokines also induced expression of IL-10 mRNA. Treatment of microglial cell cultures with IL-10 markedly inhibited TNF-alpha and IL-6 production. These findings suggest that during inflammation within the brain, acute release of TNF-alpha and IL-6 by activated microglia could promote subsequent release of IL-10, which functions to minimize the potential neurotoxic effects of proinflammatory cytokines.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.

D015854 Up-Regulation A positive regulatory effect on physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, or systemic level. At the molecular level, the major regulatory sites include membrane receptors, genes (GENE EXPRESSION REGULATION), mRNAs (RNA, MESSENGER), and proteins.

D016753 Interleukin-10 A cytokine produced by a variety of cell types, including T-LYMPHOCYTES; MONOCYTES; DENDRITIC CELLS; and EPITHELIAL CELLS that exerts a variety of effects on immunoregulation and INFLAMMATION. Interleukin-10 combines with itself to form a homodimeric molecule that is the biologically active form of the protein. IL-10,CSIF-10,Cytokine Synthesis Inhibitory Factor,IL10,Interleukin 10
D017628 Microglia The third type of glial cell, along with astrocytes and oligodendrocytes (which together form the macroglia). Microglia vary in appearance depending on developmental stage, functional state, and anatomical location; subtype terms include ramified, perivascular, ameboid, resting, and activated. Microglia clearly are capable of phagocytosis and play an important role in a wide spectrum of neuropathologies. They have also been suggested to act in several other roles including in secretion (e.g., of cytokines and neural growth factors), in immunological processing (e.g., antigen presentation), and in central nervous system development and remodeling.
