OBJECTIVES: In pregnancy, the placental contribution of cytokines to maternal immunosuppression has been established, however their role in normal maternal blood pressure regulation has not been identified. We investigate the contribution of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) to the vasodilation of early pregnancy in non-human primates. We also sequenced the IL-10 baboon gene and compared it with humans. METHODS: The effect of four different treatments, administered sequentially (semi-random-design) on resting 18h, night time, or hourly mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were measured using telemetry. An anti-human IL-10 monoclonal antibody (MAb, 1mg, n=7), anti-TNF-alpha antibody (n=3), a combination of anti-IL-10 and anti-TNF-alpha antibodies (n=5) or saline (n=3) control were administered intravenously to baboons in early pregnancy. Plasma and placental IL-10 concentration was measured before and after injection in all animals. RESULTS: Anti-human IL-10 MAb caused a significant increase in MAP of 2.6+/-0.5mmHg over the 18-h period (p<0.05). Administration of TNF-alpha alone or in combination with IL-10 did not alter MAP. There was 97% sequence homology of IL-10 cDNA between humans and baboons. CONCLUSIONS: IL-10 was shown to regulate the vasodilation of early pregnancy in Papio hamadryas. This partial role of IL-10 in the early BP response of primate pregnancy may be relevant to pathophysiological states of human pregnancy such as preeclampsia.
