The central role of alveolar macrophages in the establishment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung inflammation is well demonstrated. They produce and release numerous proinflammatory molecules, among which is tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), a cytokine responsible in part for the neutrophilic alveolitis. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) produced by LPS-activated mononuclear phagocytes is a major anti-inflammatory cytokine that down-regulates TNF-alpha synthesis. We studied the ability of murine alveolar macrophages to produce IL-10 in vivo and in vitro, in response to LPS, Unexpectedly, the IL-10 protein was not detected in the whole lung and airspaces after LPS intranasal instillation, In addition, no IL-10 protein was found in supernatants of isolated and LPS-stimulated alveolar macrophages, The lack of IL-10 synthesis was confirmed by the absence of specific RNA transcripts, By contrast and as expected, autologous peritoneal macrophages produced IL-10 upon LPS challenge. Drugs that usually modify the TNF-alpha/IL-10 balance in favor of IL-10 were used without success, Thus, maneuvers allowing an increase in intracellular cAMP concentrations did not reverse this unexpected phenotype, Moreover, direct activation of protein kinase C with PMA was unable to trigger IL-10 formation by alveolar, by contrast to peritoneal, macrophages, The current findings describe a specific phenotype for murine alveolar macrophages during LPS-induced inflammation.
