Abstract: | This study explores the possibility of a regulatory role for cytokine IL-10 in platelet aggregation as an active vascular repair mechanism. Endothelial cells from human umbilical cord vein were cultured in the presence of different IL-10 concentrations (0-100 ng/ml). Platelet-rich plasma was then added to these cultures and allowed to act for 30 minutes. To rule out blood plasma involvement, washed platelets were also incubated with IL-10 (0-100 ng/ml). Changes in endothelial cell morphology were observed depending on the IL-10 concentration used; apoptotic cells appearing at the highest IL-10 concentration. Greatest platelet adhesion was noted at the highest IL-10 concentration. It was concluded that, in this in vitro model, low IL-10 levels do not affect cell viability or the pattern of platelet adhesion, but at high doses, this cytokine induces cell death and enhances platelet deposition. |
