Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells were differentiated in vitro for 7 days with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interleukin-13. These cultured dendritic cells are at an immature stage of differentiation and exhert high endocytic activity via surface mannose receptor and via fluid-phase macropinocytosis. We have investigated the modulation of endocytosis by interleukin-10 in these cells. When added during the last 24 h of the 7-day culture, interleukin-10 significantly stimulated the uptake of fluorescein-labelled dextran (39 +/- 16% increase, mean +/- SD of 6 experiments), a sugar binding to the mannose receptor. This effect was dose dependent and correlated with the length of exposure to interleukin-10, with a maximal effect (more than seven-fold increase) when the cytokine was added at the beginning of the culture (day 0). The interleukin-10-increased fluorescein-labelled-dextran endocytosis was mostly mediated via the mannose receptor, as unlabelled mannose and specific antimannose receptor monoclonal antibody inhibited most of the uptake. Moreover, interleukin-10-treated cells expressed increased levels (up to four-fold) of mannose receptor. Interleukin-10 also increased, although to a lesser extent, the fluid-phase endocytosis (macropinocytosis) of fluorescein-labelled albumin. Interleukin-10 had the opposite effect on the differentiation and functional activity of monocyte-derived dendritic cells; cells having a very low stimulatory capacity and reduced expression of MHC class II and CD1a after a 7-day exposure. Thus interleukin-10 had a strong immunosuppressive effect on the differentiation and functional activity of monocyte-derived dendritic cells and yet strongly stimulated endocytosis in these cells. We speculate that an increased endocytic activity would eventually result in a decreased availability of antigens in the external milieu, thus contributing to the immunosuppressive and tolerogenic activity of interleukin-10.

Type 1 T regulatory (Tr1) cells suppress immune responses in vivo and in vitro and play a key role in maintaining tolerance to self- and non-self-antigens. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is the crucial driving factor for Tr1 cell differentiation, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this induction remain unknown. We identified and characterized a subset of IL-10-producing human dendritic cells (DCs), termed DC-10, which are present in vivo and can be induced in vitro in the presence of IL-10. DC-10 are CD14(+), CD16(+), CD11c(+), CD11b(+), HLA-DR(+), CD83(+), CD1a(-), CD1c(-), express the Ig-like transcripts (ILTs) ILT2, ILT3, ILT4, and HLA-G antigen, display high levels of CD40 and CD86, and up-regulate CD80 after differentiation in vitro. DC-10 isolated from peripheral blood or generated in vitro are potent inducers of antigen-specific IL-10-producing Tr1 cells. Induction of Tr1 cells by DC-10 is IL-10-dependent and requires the ILT4/HLA-G signaling pathway. Our data indicate that DC-10 represents a novel subset of tolerogenic DCs, which secrete high levels of IL-10, express ILT4 and HLA-G, and have the specific function to induce Tr1 cells.

Multipotent stromal cells have immunomodulatory capacities and have been used in transplantation and autoimmune diseases. One of the effects of multipotent stromal cells involves the inhibition of dendritic cell differentiation. Since interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 are known to play a role in inhibiting immature dendritic cell differentiation, we hypothesized that these cytokines may also mediate the inhibitory effect of human multipotent stromal cells in immature dendritic cell differentiation. In order to test this hypothesis monocytes were cultured with interleukin-4 and granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor in the presence or absence of culture-expanded bone marrow-derived multipotent stromal cells. Neutralization and cytokine-depletion strategies were applied to reveal the cellular source and effect of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10. Addition of multipotent stromal cells to monocyte cultures significantly reduced the generation of immature dendritic cells (CD14(-)CD1a(+)) and resulted in the generation of CD14(+)CD1a(-) cells that displayed a significantly reduced immunostimulatory effect. We found that culture supernatants of co-cultures of multipotent stromal cells and monocytes contained higher concentrations of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10. Multipotent stromal cells produced interleukin-6 and neutralizing this interleukin-6 reversed the inhibitory effect of the multipotent cells. Interleukin-10 was not produced by multipotent stromal cells, but exclusively by monocytes after exposure to multipotent stromal cell-produced interleukin-6. In conclusion, through constitutive production of interleukin-6, multipotent stromal cells prevent the differentiation of monocytes towards antigen-presenting immunogenic cells and skew differentiation towards an anti-inflammatory interleukin-10-producing cell type.
