Previous studies have demonstrated that neutrophils isolated from the blood of healthy donors do not respond to IL-10 in terms of either activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT)-3 tyrosine phosphorylation or induction of Suppressor of Cytokine Signalling (SOCS)-3 protein, unlike autologous mononuclear cells. This was explained by the fact that circulating neutrophils of healthy donors express only IL-10R2, but not IL-10R1, the latter IL-10R chain being essential for mediating IL-10 responsiveness. In this study, we report that peripheral blood neutrophils of septic patients constitutively display, besides IL-10R2, also abundant levels of surface IL-10R1. Consequently, septic neutrophils are promptly responsive to IL-10 in vitro, as revealed by a direct IL-10-mediated induction of STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation and SOCS-3 gene transcription, mRNA and protein expression. Consistent with the presence of a fully functional IL-10R, modulation of LPS-induced CXCL8, CCL4, tumour necrosis factor-a and IL-1ra gene expression was also rapidly induced by IL-10 in septic, but not normal, neutrophils. Collectively, these data uncover that neutrophils of septic patients are predisposed to be promptly responsive to IL-10, presumably to help limiting their pro-inflammatory state. They also fully validate our previous observations, herein in the context of a human disease, that responsiveness of human neutrophils to IL-10 is strictly dependent upon the modulation of IL-10R1 expression.

Abstract: | Previous studies have demonstrated that neutrophils isolated from the blood of healthy donors do not respond to IL-10 in terms of either activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT)-3 tyrosine phosphorylation or induction of Suppressor of Cytokine Signalling (SOCS)-3 protein, unlike autologous mononuclear cells. This was explained by the fact that circulating neutrophils of healthy donors express only IL-10R2, but not IL-10R1, the latter IL-10R chain being essential for mediating IL-10 responsiveness. In this study, we report that peripheral blood neutrophils of septic patients constitutively display, besides IL-10R2, also abundant levels of surface IL-10R1. Consequently, septic neutrophils are promptly responsive to IL-10 in vitro, as revealed by a direct IL-10-mediated induction of STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation and SOCS-3 gene transcription, mRNA and protein expression. Consistent with the presence of a fully functional IL-10R, modulation of LPS-induced CXCL8, CCL4, tumour necrosis factor-a and IL-1ra gene expression was also rapidly induced by IL-10 in septic, but not normal, neutrophils.
