To dissect the controversial roles of type 1 and type 2 cytokines
to the pathogenesis of schistosomiasis, we generated IL-10/IL-4- and
IL-10/IL-12-deficient mice that develop highly polarized type 1 and
type 2 cytokine responses, respectively. Interestingly, the
Th1-polarized IL-10/IL-4-deficient mice rapidly lost weight at the
onset of egg-laying and displayed 100% mortality by wk 9
postinfection. This acute mortality was linked to overexpression of the
proinflammatory mediators IFN-
, TNF-
, and inducible NO and the
formation of nonfibrotic granulomas. Elevated serum aspartate
transaminase levels confirmed that mortality was in part attributable
to acute hepatotoxicity. In contrast, the Th2-polarized
IL-10/IL-12-deficient mice developed a progressive wasting disease that
correlated with increased hepatic fibrosis, formation of large
eosinophil-rich granulomas, a 10-fold increase in IL-4 and IL-13, and
significant mortality during the chronic stages of infection.
Surprisingly, IL-10-deficient mice displayed pathological features that
were characteristic of both extremes, while wild-type mice developed
relatively successful long term chronic infections. These data
demonstrate that IL-10 significantly suppresses type 1 and type 2
cytokine development in IL-4- and IL-12-deficient mice, respectively,
thereby impeding the development of severe egg-induced pathology in the
single cytokine-deficient animals. Together, these findings reveal the
central regulatory role of IL-10 in the pathogenesis of schistosomiasis
and illustrate that excessive type 1 and type 2 cytokine responses
trigger distinct, but equally detrimental, forms of pathology following
infection.
