Abstract—The potential role of
anti-inflammatory cytokines in the modulation of the
atherosclerotic process remains unknown. Interleukin (IL)-10 has potent
deactivating properties in macrophages and T cells and
modulates many cellular processes that may interfere with the
development and stability of the atherosclerotic plaque. IL-10 is
expressed in human atherosclerosis and is associated
with decreased signs of inflammation. In the present study, we show
that IL-10–deficient C57BL/6J mice fed an atherogenic diet and raised
under specific pathogen-free conditions exhibit a significant 3-fold
increase in lipid accumulation compared with wild-type mice.
Interestingly, the susceptibility of IL-10–deficient mice to
atherosclerosis was exceedingly high (30-fold increase)
when the mice were housed under conventional conditions.
Atherosclerotic lesions of IL-10–deficient mice showed increased
T-cell infiltration, abundant interferon-
expression, and decreased
collagen content. In vivo, transfer of murine IL-10 achieved 60%
reduction in lesion size. These results underscore the critical roles
of IL-10 in both atherosclerotic lesion formation and stability.
Moreover, IL-10 appears to be crucial as a protective factor against
the effect of environmental pathogens on
atherosclerosis. The full text of this article is
