abstractText | The loss of IL-10R function leads to severe early onset colitis and, in murine models, is associated with the accumulation of immature inflammatory colonic macrophages. We have shown that IL-10R-deficient colonic macrophages exhibit increased STAT1-dependent gene expression, suggesting that IL-10R-mediated inhibition of STAT1 signaling in newly recruited colonic macrophages might interfere with the development of an inflammatory phenotype. Indeed, STAT1(-/-) mice exhibit defects in colonic macrophage accumulation after Helicobacter hepaticus infection and IL-10R blockade, and this was phenocopied in mice lacking IFNgammaR, an inducer of STAT1 activation. Radiation chimeras demonstrated that reduced accumulation of STAT1-deficient macrophages was based on a cell-intrinsic defect. Unexpectedly, mixed radiation chimeras generated with both wild-type and IL-10R-deficient bone marrow indicated that rather than directly interfering with STAT1 function, IL-10R inhibits the generation of cell extrinsic signals that promote the accumulation of immature macrophages. These results define the essential mechanisms controlling the inflammatory macrophage accumulation in inflammatory bowel diseases. |
