Interleukin-10 is a predominantly anti-inflammatory cytokine that inhibits macrophage and dendritic cell function, but can acquire proinflammatory activity during immune responses. We investigated whether type I IFNs, which are elevated during infections and in autoimmune diseases, modulate the activity of IL-10. Priming of primary human macrophages with low concentrations of IFN-{alpha} diminished the ability of IL-10 to suppress TNF-{alpha} production. IFN-{alpha} conferred a proinflammatory gain of function on IL-10, leading to IL-10 activation of expression of IFN-{gamma}-inducible, STAT1-dependent genes such as IFN regulatory factor 1, IFN-{gamma}-inducible protein-10 (CXCL10), and monokine induced by IFN-{gamma} (CXCL9). IFN-{alpha} priming resulted in greatly enhanced STAT1 activation in response to IL-10, and STAT1 was required for IL-10 activation of IFN-{gamma}-inducible protein-10 and monokine induced by IFN-{gamma} expression in IFN-{alpha}-primed cells. In control, unprimed cells, IL-10 activation of STAT1 was suppressed by constitutive activity of protein kinase C and Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 1. These results demonstrate that type I IFNs regulate the balance between IL-10 anti- and proinflammatory activity, and provide insight into molecular mechanisms that regulate IL-10 function. Gain of IL-10 proinflammatory functions may contribute to its pathogenic role in autoimmune diseases characterized by elevated type I IFN levels, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
