The p38 Mitogen-activated Kinase Pathway Regulates the Human Interleukin-10 Promoter via the Activation of Sp1 Transcription Factor in Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated Human Macrophages

Abstract excerpt

Interleukin-10 (IL-10), a pleiotropic cytokine that inhibits inflammatory and cell-mediated immune responses, is produced by a wide variety of cell types including T and B cells and monocytes/macrophages. Regulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines has been suggested to involve distinct signaling pathways. In this study, we investigated the regulation of the human IL-10 (hIL-10) promoter in the human...
