IL-10 mediates pleural remodeling in systemic lupus erythematosus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interleukin-10 (IL-10), a pivotal anti-inflammatory cytokine, has gotten attention for its involvement in tissue remodeling and organ fibrosis. Pleurisy and subsequent pleural remodeling are recognized as quantifiable indicators of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) activity. However, the role of IL-10 in SLE-associated pleural remodeling remains unknown. In this study, we investigated role of IL-10 in SLE-associated pleural remodeling and the underlying mechanism.

Methods

Clinical data and serum specimens were obtained from SLE patients, while pleural mesothelial cells and mouse models served as primary experimental subjects. The protein expression-related technologies, histopathological staining, and other experimental methods were used in the study.
