We discovered high-titer neutralizing autoantibodies against interleukin-10 in a child with infantile-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a phenocopy of inborn errors of interleukin-10 signaling. After B-cell-depletion therapy and an associated decrease in the anti-interleukin-10 titer, conventional IBD therapy could be withdrawn. A second child with neutralizing anti-interleukin-10 autoantibodies had a milder course of IBD and has been treated without B-cell depletion. We conclude that neutralizing anti-interleukin-10 autoantibodies may be a causative or modifying factor in IBD, with potential implications for therapy.

我们在一名儿童身上发现了针对白细胞介素-10 的高滴度中和自身抗体,该儿童患有婴儿起病炎症性肠病(IBD),这是白细胞介素-10 信号转导的先天性错误的表型。在 B 细胞耗竭治疗后,抗白细胞介素-10 滴度降低,可停止常规 IBD 治疗。第二例具有中和抗白细胞介素-10 自身抗体的儿童 IBD 病程较轻,且未进行 B 细胞耗竭治疗。我们的结论是,中和抗白细胞介素-10 自身抗体可能是 IBD 的致病或修饰因素,对治疗具有潜在意义。(由国家卫生与保健研究中心等资助)。
