ABSTRACT
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) has both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on diverse cell types of the immune system. It inhibits the antigen-presenting capacity of monocytes/macrophages and stimulates T cell proliferation. Although many tumors spontaneously release IL-10, the physiological relevance of this phenomenon to the in vivo antitumor immune response is not known. To elucidate the physiological role of tumor-released IL-10, we used IL-10-specific antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS-ODN) for the inhibition of IL-10 production from the tumor cells. Incubation of MOPC 315 plasmacytoma with IL-10 AS-ODN in vitro resulted in inhibition of IL-10 production and also in enhancement of the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, MHC class II, and B7-1 molecules. MOPC 315 cells incubated with IL-10 AS-ODN (MOPC-IL10AS) for 16 h in vitro showed reduced tumorigenicity in Balb/c mice. The mice implanted with MOPC-IL10AS effectively rejected the tumor graft, and showed strong cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity against the parental MOPC 315 cells. In addition, MOPC-IL10AS were more effective as stimulator cells in mixed lymphocyte/ tumor cell culture, and as target cells in a CTL assay. These results imply that IL-10 spontaneously released from MOPC 315 cells inhibits their immunogenicity and that the inhibition of IL-10 production by IL-10 AS-ODN may be a way to enhance the host cellular antitumor immune response.
