The anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) inhibits intimal hyperplasia after stent implantation via a powerful inactivation of monocytes. We tested the hypothesis
that IL-10 may also inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) activation via the inhibition of the NF-
B/I-
B system. The IL-10 receptor was detected in rat SMCs in vitro and in vivo. In LPS-stimulated rat SMCs, 1 ng/mL recombinant murine IL-10 (mIL-10) reduced I-
B
and I-
B
degradation, NF-
B activation, as well as the expression of the NF-
B-dependent gene IL-6 by 32%, 31%, 75% and 19%, respectively (p<0.05 for all). Similar results were obtained
in vivo 6h and 4 days after balloon abrasion of the rat aorta, a model in which intimal hyperplasia results essentially from SMC activation. Moreover, mIL-10 reduced SMC proliferation and migration in vitro (by 60% for both, p<0.0001), resulting in reduced SMC proliferation and intimal growth 14 days after balloon abrasion of the rat aorta (by 76% and 75%, respectively; p<0.005).
In conclusion, mIL-10 has a direct inhibitory effect on SMCs in vitro and in vivo. This effect is mediated, at least in part, by NF-
B inactivation and may participate in the overall protective effect of IL-10 on post-angioplasty restenosis.
