The capacity to down-regulate the production of IL-8 by LPS-activated human polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) has been demonstrated for IL-4, IL-10, and TGFβ. We compared their relative capacities and further extended this property to IL-13. We report a great heterogeneity among individuals related to the responsiveness of PMN to the IL-4 and IL-13 inhibitory effects while their response to the IL-10 effect was homogenous. The inhibitory activities were observed at the transcriptional level. IL-8 induction by TNFα was, unlike its induction by LPS, resistant to the inhibitory effects of IL-10, IL-4, IL-13 and TGFβ. Furthermore, IL-10 and IL-4 inhibitory activity were less effective when TNFα was acting synergistically with LPS to induce IL-8 production by PMN. LPS-induced cell-associated IL-8, detected in the PMN cultures, could be marginally inhibited by IL-4 and IL-10. Altogether, our data demonstrate that IL-13 is able to inhibit LPS-induced IL-8 production by human PMN, although IL-10 remains the most active anti-inflammatory cytokine. Despite the capacity of IL-4, IL-10, and IL-13 to limit the production of TNFα-induced IL-8 in a whole blood assay, none was able to inhibit this production when studying isolated human polymorphonuclear cells.
