Exaggerated Human Monocyte IL-10 Concomitant to Minimal TNF-␣ Induction by Heat-Shock Protein 27 (Hsp27) Suggests Hsp27 Is Primarily an Antiinflammatory Stimulus1 Asit K. De, Karen M. Kodys, Berhan S. Yeh, and Carol Miller-Graziano2 Unlike more well-studied large heat shock proteins (hsp) that induce both T cell antiinflammatory (IL-10, IL-4) and macrophage proinflammatory (TNF-␣, IL-15, IL-12) cytokines, hsp27, a small hsp, has been primarily identified as a substrate of mitogen- activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase-2 involved in the p38 signaling pathway and activated during monocyte IL-10 production. Hsp27 can also act as an endogenous protein circulating in the serum of breast cancer patients and a protein whose induction correlates to protection from LPS shock. However, the cytokine-stimulating properties of hsp27 have been unexplored. In this study, exogenous hsp27 is demonstrated for the first time as a potent activator of human monocyte IL-10 production, but Downloaded from only a modest inducer of TNF-␣. Although exogenous hsp27 stimulation activated all three monocyte mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways (extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) 1/2, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38), only p38 activation was sustained and required for hsp27 induction of monocyte IL-10, while both ERK 1/2 and p38 activation were required for induction of TNF-␣ when using the p38 inhibitor SB203580 or the ERK inhibitor PD98059. Hsp27’s transient activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway, which can down-regulate IL-10, may contribute to its potent IL-10 induction. Hsp27’s ERK 1/2 ␣ activation was also less sustained than activation by stimuli like LPS, possibly contributing to its modest TNF- induction. The http://www.jimmunol.org/ failure of either PD98059 or anti-TNF-␣ Ab to substantially inhibit IL-10 induction implied that hsp27 induces IL-10 via activation of p38 signaling independently of TNF-␣ activation and may be predominantly an antiinflammatory monokine stimulus.
