Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is considered to be a cytokine with potent anti-inflammatory properties, which have been previously linked to increased incidence of sepsis. The level of IL-10 is elevated by cardiac surgery when cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and methylprednisolone are used. In our study, we compare the level of IL-10, IL-10 Receptor (IL-10R), and percentage of neutrophils between two groups of cardiac surgical patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, both of which were not given methylprednisolone. The first group was operated with conventional CPB, while the second group was operated with minimally invasive CPB (mini-CPB). We detected enhanced level of IL-10 during surgery and at the end of surgery in both groups of patients. While no correlation between IL-10 and IL10R was found, IL-10 was positively correlated with increased percentage of neutrophils at the time points when the level of IL-10 peaked.

Interleukin-10 receptor [IL10R] mutations are associated with severe childhood inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Two unrelated patients who died of very early-onset severe IBD and sepsis were identified as harbouring the same compound heterozygous mutations in IL10RA [p.R101W; p.T179T]. A third patient was found to be homozygous for p.T179T. The missense change of p.R101W has been reported. The synonymous change of p.T179T, with a minor allele frequency of 0.035% in the population, was novel. The p.T179T mutation was located before the 5' splice donor site, leading to exon skipping and out-of-frame fusion of exons 3 and 5, causing altered STAT3 phosphorylation in IL10-induced peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The patient developed colitis at 6 years of age, the oldest reported age of onset among patients with IL10RA mutations, and did not suffer from perianal disease. We report three paediatric patients with a rare, synonymous p.T179T variant causing a splicing error in IL10RA.
