Neutralization of interleukin (IL)-10 released by monocytes/macrophages enhances the up-regulatory effect of monocyte/macrophage-derived IL-6 on expressions of IL-6 and MUC1, and migration in HT-29 colon cancer cells.
Summary of "Neutralization of interleukin (IL)-10 released by monocytes/macrophages enhances the up-regulatory effect of monocyte/macrophage-derived IL-6 on expressions of IL-6 and MUC1, and migration in HT-29 colon cancer cells."
The interactions between monocyte-derived IL-6 and IL-10 in colon cancer are unknown. We continued previous work that showed monocyte/macrophage-derived IL-6 induces IL-6 and MUC1 expression in HT-29 cancer cells, and evaluated if IL-10 present in monocyte/macrophage is involved in this IL-6-mediated effect. We treated HT-29 cells with monocyte/macrophage supernatant following neutralization of monocyte/macrophage-released IL-10. Neutralization markedly enhanced monocyte/macrophage-derived IL-6 effects on HT-29 cells including IL-6 and MUC1 production and cell migration. Double blocking of IL-6 and IL-10 in monocyte/macrophage supernatants abolished this enhancement. Western blot analysis of STAT3 phosphorylation showed that this augmented response in HT-29 cells following IL-10 neutralization is probably mediated through enhanced IL-6-induced phosphorylation (Tyr(705)) of STAT3 proteins. Therefore, monocytes/macrophages have the capacity to release the functionally associated cytokines IL-6 and IL-10 whose interactions can account for the pathogenesis and progression of colon cancer.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Interleukin-1
A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.
Interleukin-23
A heterodimeric cytokine that plays a role in innate and adaptive immune responses. Interleukin-23 is comprised of a unique 19 kDa subunit and 40 kDa subunit that is shared with INTERLEUKIN-12. It is produced by DENDRITIC CELLS; MACROPHAGES and a variety of other immune cells
Receptors, Interleukin-6
Cell surface receptors that are specific for INTERLEUKIN-6. They are present on T-LYMPHOCYTES, mitogen-activated B-LYMPHOCYTES, and peripheral MONOCYTES. The receptors are heterodimers of the INTERLEUKIN-6 RECEPTOR ALPHA SUBUNIT and the CYTOKINE RECEPTOR GP130.
Receptors, Interleukin-8a
High-affinity G-protein-coupled receptors for INTERLEUKIN-8 present on NEUTROPHILS; MONOCYTES; and BASOPHILS.
Receptors, Interleukin-8b
High-affinity G-protein-coupled receptors for INTERLEUKIN-8 present on NEUTROPHILS; MONOCYTES; and T-LYMPHOCYTES. These receptors also bind several other CXC CHEMOKINES.
