Additionally, clinical experience using interleukin 10-secreting <i>Lc. lactis</i> has been shown to be safe and to facilitate biological containment in IBD therapy.
Through plasma-induced signature analysis, we have defined a unique, partially TGF-β/IL-10-dependent immunoregulatory signature associated with IBD that may prove useful in predicting therapeutic responsiveness.
These results indicate that both the <i>IL-10</i> gene itself, and through epistatic interaction with genes within the IL-10/STAT3 signaling pathway, contribute to the risk of pediatric IBD.
Here, we review recent findings on how IL10- and IL10R-dependent signaling modulates innate and adaptive immune responses in the murine gastrointestinal tract, with implications of their role in the prevention of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The role of functional polymorphisms at positions -627 and -1117 in the IL-10 gene as candidate susceptibility loci in inflammatory bowel disease and their importance in determining disease extent were evaluated in 159 patients with ulcerative colitis (83 left-sided; 76 extensive), 90 patients with Crohn's disease (22 small bowel; 29 large bowel; 39 both), and 227 controls.
We report that IL-10(-/-) mice, a widely accepted mouse model of IBD, crossed to human MUC1-transgenic mice, develop MUC1(+) IBD characterized by an earlier age of onset, higher inflammation scores, and a much higher incidence and number of colon cancers compared with IL-10(-/-) mice.
IL-10(-/-) mice, an animal model of Th1-mediated inflammatory bowel disease, were screened for the expression of 600 microRNAs (miRNAs) using colonic tissues and PBLs from animals having either mild inflammation or severe intestinal inflammation.
All eight TYK2-deficient patients displayed impaired but not abolished cellular responses to (a) IL-12 and IFN-α/β, accounting for mycobacterial and viral infections, respectively; (b) IL-23, with normal proportions of circulating IL-17(+) T cells, accounting for their apparent lack of mucocutaneous candidiasis; and (c) IL-10, with no overt clinical consequences, including a lack of inflammatory bowel disease.
We performed direct gene sequencing looking for 94 variations in NOD2, ATG16L1, IL23R, IL10R, IL10 and XIAP genes previously shown as correlated with IBD both in multifactorial and in Mendelian models.
Here, we show that in a murine inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) model based on macrophage-restricted interleukin-10 (IL-10) receptor deficiency (<i>Cx3cr1<sup>Cre</sup>:Il10ra<sup>fl/fl</sup></i> mice), proinflammatory mutant gut macrophages cause severe spontaneous colitis resembling the condition observed in children carrying IL-10R mutations.
cAT-MSC-secreted TSG-6 ameliorated IBD and regulated colonic expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10.
ELISA assay and the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cytokine mRNA expression levels were evaluated by quantitative SYBR Green real-time RT-PCR to determine the IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-10 secretion in inflammatory bowel diseases patients' PBMC culture supernatants.
Consistent with the PBMC data, both <i>L. fermentum</i> KBL374- and KBL375-treated DSS mice demonstrated decreased Th1-, Th2-, and Th17-related cytokine levels and increased IL-10 in the colon compared with the DSS control mice.Administration of <i>L. fermentum</i> KBL374 or KBL375 to mice increased the CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cell population in mesenteric lymph nodes.Additionally, <i>L. fermentum</i> KBL374 or KBL375 administration reshaped and increased the diversity of the gut microbiota.In particular, <i>L. fermentum</i> KBL375 increased the abundance of beneficial microorganisms, such as <i>Lactobacillus</i> spp. and <i>Akkermansia</i> spp.Both <i>L. fermentum</i> KBL374 and KBL375 may alleviate inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, in the gut by regulating immune responses and altering the composition of gut microbiota.
