Interleukin 10 promotes macrophage uptake of HDL and LDL by stimulating fluid-phase endocytosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Highly elevated plasma levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) are causally associated with "Disappearing HDL Syndrome" and low plasma LDL-cholesterol, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Fluid-phase endocytosis, a process highly dependent on actin dynamics, enables cells to internalize relatively high amounts of extracellular fluids and solutes. We sought to investigate whether IL-10 induces lipoprotein uptake by fluid-phase endocytosis in macrophages.

Methods and results

Macrophages (RAW264.7, Kupffer and human) were incubated with vehicle (PBS) or IL-10 (20 ng/ml) for 7 days. Uptake of HDL, LDL, and/or fluid-phase endocytosis probes (albumin-Alexa680®, 70 kDa FITC-Dextran and Lucifer Yellow, LY) was evaluated by FACS. Intracellular cofilin and phosphoryl
