pubmed:abstractText
Cartilage-specific extracellular matrix synthesis is the prerequisite for chondrocyte survival and cartilage function, but is affected by the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha in arthritis. The aim of the present study was to characterize whether the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-10 might modulate cartilage matrix and cytokine expression in response to TNF-alpha. Primary human articular chondrocytes were treated with either recombinant IL-10, TNF-alpha or a combination of both (at 10ng/mL each) or transduced with an adenoviral vector overexpressing human IL-10 and subsequently stimulated with 10ng/ml TNF-alpha for 6 or 24h. The effects of IL-10 on the cartilage-specific matrix proteins collagen type II, aggrecan, matrix-metalloproteinases (MMP)-3, -13 and pro-inflammatory cytokines were evaluated by real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Transduced chondrocytes overexpressed high levels of IL-10 which significantly up-regulated collagen type II expression. TNF-alpha suppressed collagen type II and aggrecan, but increased MMP and cytokine expression in chondrocytes compared to the non-stimulated controls. The TNF-alpha mediated down-regulation of aggrecan expression was significantly antagonized by IL-10 overexpression, whereas the suppression of collagen type II was barely affected. The MMP-13 and IL-1beta expression by TNF-alpha was slightly reduced by IL-10. These results suggest that IL-10 overexpression modulates some catabolic features of TNF-alpha in chondrocytes.
