IL-10 regulates inflammation by reducing cytokine and chemokine production from activated macrophages. We performed microarray experiments to identify possible effector molecules of IL-10 and to investigate the global effect of IL-10 on the transcriptional response induced in LPS-activated macrophages. To exclude background effects of endogenous IL-10, macrophages from IL-10-deficient mice were used. IL-10 up-regulated expression of a small number of genes (26 and 37 after 45 min and 3 h, respectively), including newly identified and previously documented targets such as suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 and IL-1 receptor antagonist. However, the activation program triggered by LPS was profoundly affected by IL-10. IL-10 repressed 62 and further increased 15 of 259 LPS-induced genes. For all genes examined, the effects of IL-10 were determined to be STAT3-dependent. These results suggest that IL-10 regulates STAT3-dependent pathways that selectively target a broad component of LPS-induced genes at the mRNA level.
