B cell-derived IL-10 promotes the resolution of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.

ABSTRACT: Inflammation resolution is critical for acute lung injury (ALI) recovery. Interleukin (IL)-10 is a potent anti-inflammatory factor. However, its role in ALI resolution remains unclear. We investigated the effects of IL-10 during the ALI resolution process in a murine lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI model. Blockade of IL-10 signaling aggravates LPS-induced lung injury, as manifested by elevated pro-inflammatory factors production and increased neutrophils recruitment to the lung. Thereafter, we used IL-10 GFP reporter mice to discern the source cell of IL-10 during ALI. We found that IL-10 is predominantly generated by B cells during the ALI recovery process. Furthermore, we used IL-10-specific loss in B-cell mice to elucidate the effect of B-cell-derived IL-10 on the ALI resolution pr
