## Abstract This study tests the hypothesis that transcription factor activation by exposure of macrophages to titanium particles can be modulated by the addition of the antiinflammatory cytokine, interleukin 10 (ILβ10). The experiments were carried out with primary human monocyte/macrophages that

β¦ Synopsis
We investigated the effects of two anti-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10, on the production of two proinflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IL-6, induced by titanium-alloy (Ti6Al4V) particles. Human monocytes isolated from the peripheral blood of six healthy donors were cultured and exposed to retrieved titanium-alloy particles, together with IL-4 or IL-10. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed that both IL-4 and IL-10 significantly reduced the production of TNF-alpha and IL-6. The level of TNF-alpha decreased by 74% with IL-4 and 56% with IL-10. The level of IL-6 decreased by 55% with IL-4 and by 66% with IL-10. IL-4 had more consistent suppressive effect on TNF-alpha production. The results from this study provide in vitro evidence of the possible utility of IL-4 and IL-10 in suppression of particle-induced activation of macrophages.
