Popis: Cytokines coordinate the intricate choreography of the immune system, directing cellular activities that mediate inflammation, pathogen defense, pathology and tissue repair. Within this spectrum, the anti-inflammatory prowess of interleukin-10 (IL-10) predominates in immune homeostasis. In normal pregnancy, the dynamic shift of IL-10 across trimesters maintains maternal immune tolerance ensuring fetal development and pregnancy success. Unravelling the dysregulation of IL-10 in pregnancy complications is vital, particularly in the heightened inflammatory condition of preeclampsia. Of note, a reduction in IL-10 levels contributes to endothelial dysfunction. In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, a complex interplay of IL-10 occurs, displaying a paradoxical paradigm of being immune-protective yet aiding viral persistence. Genetic variations in the IL-10 gene further modulate susceptibility to HIV infection and preeclampsia, albeit with nuanced effects across populations. This review outlines the conceptual framework underlying the role of IL-10 in the duality of normal pregnancy and preeclampsia together with HIV infection, thus highlighting its regulatory mechanisms and genetic influences. Synthesizing these findings in immune modulation presents avenues for therapeutic interventions in pregnancy complications comorbid with HIV infection.
