Abstract

Interleukin (IL) -35 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine which exerts various beneficial effects on autoimmune diseases. However, whether IL-35 plays a role in endotoxin induced hepatitis demands clarification. This study aims to reveal the effect and mechanism of IL-35 on endotoxin induced liver injury. Acute hepatic injury was induced by D-galactosamine (D-GalN, 400 mg/kg) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 5 μg/kg) administration in mice. IL-35 treatment ameliorated D-GalN/LPS induced liver injury in a dose dependent manner as shown by histological examination, ALT determination and Caspase-3 activity assay. It also reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and increased production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-4, IL-10, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β. This hepato-protective effect was proved mainly mediated by Kupffer cells (KC) via gadolinium chloride depletion and cell adoptive transfer experiment. In addition, IL-35 emolliated the cytotoxicity of LPS-triggered KCs to hepatocytes, suppressed nitric oxide (NO) and TNF-α production, and elevated IL-10 production in LPS stimulated KCs. Furthermore, IL-35 could not exert hepato-protective effect in IL-10-deficient mice in vivo and it could not suppress LPS induced NO and TNF-α production in IL-10-deficient KCs in vitro. In conclusion, IL-35 protects endotoxin-induced acute liver injury, which mainly acts thought increasing IL-10 production in KCs. This finding demonstrates a role of IL-35 in anti-infectious immunity and provides a potential therapeutic target in treating fulminant hepatitis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 September 2018.
All research outputs
#17,989,170
of 23,102,082 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Pharmacology
#7,271
of 16,459 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#239,848
of 334,198 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Pharmacology
#179
of 388 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,102,082 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,459 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 334,198 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 388 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
