Interleukin-10 and Small Molecule SHIP1 Allosteric Regulators Trigger Anti-inflammatory Effects through SHIP1/STAT3 Complexes.

The anti-inflammatory actions of interleukin-10 (IL10) are thought to be mediated primarily by the STAT3 transcription factor, but pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL6) also act through STAT3. We now report that IL10, but not IL6 signaling, induces formation of a complex between STAT3 and the inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase SHIP1 in macrophages. Both SHIP1 and STAT3 translocate to the nucleus in macrophages.

Interleukin-10 Induces Expression of Neuroendocrine Markers and PDL1 in Prostate Cancer Cells.

Interleukin-10 (IL10) is best studied for its inhibitory action on immune cells and ability to suppress an antitumour immune response. But IL10 also exerts direct effects on nonimmune cells such as prostate cancer epithelial cells. Elevated serum levels of IL10 observed in prostate and other cancer patients are associated with poor prognosis.

Interleukin-10 control of pre-miR155 maturation involves CELF2.

The anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL10) is essential for attenuating inflammatory responses, which includes reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory microRNA-155 (miR155) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activated macrophages. miR155 enhances the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα and suppresses expression of anti-inflammatory molecules such as SHIP1 and SOCS1. We previously found that IL10 interfered with the maturation of pre-miR155 to miR155.

Interleukin-10 contributes to PGE2 signalling through upregulation of EP4 via SHIP1 and STAT3.

Macrophage cells form part of our first line defense against pathogens. Macrophages become activated by microbial products such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to produce inflammatory mediators, such as TNFα and other cytokines, which orchestrate the host defense against the pathogen. Once the pathogen has been eradicated, the activated macrophage must be appropriately deactivated or inflammatory diseases result.

Drug-Induced Liver Injury due to Flucloxacillin: Relevance of Multiple Human Leukocyte Antigen Alleles.

Some patients prescribed flucloxacillin (~ 0.01%) develop drug-induced liver injury (DILI). HLA-B*57:01 is an established genetic risk factor for flucloxacillin DILI.
