We studied the effects of exogenously administered recombinant murine interleukin (IL)-10 on the development of experimental autoimmune orchitis (EAO) in C3H/He mice. IL-10 significantly augments histological signs of EAO when administered for 6 consecutive days from days 15 to 20 after primary immunisations with testicular germ cells. These data demonstrate that IL-10, in addition to its well-known antiinflammatory property, also has proinflammatory functions capable of up-regulating testicular immunoinflammatory processes in vivo.
我们研究了外源性给予重组鼠白细胞介素(IL)-10对C3H/He小鼠实验性自身免疫性睾丸炎(EAO)发展的影响。在用睾丸生殖细胞进行初次免疫后的第15至20天连续6天给予IL-10时,IL-10显著增强了EAO的组织学特征。这些数据表明,IL-10除了具有其众所周知的抗炎特性外,还具有能够在体内上调睾丸免疫炎症过程的促炎功能。
