Human IL10 encodes interleukin‑10 (IL‑10), a pleiotropic anti‑inflammatory cytokine that constrains innate and adaptive immune activation to maintain tissue homeostasis. IL‑10 signaling through IL10RA/IL10RB activates JAK1/TYK2 and downstream STAT3, suppressing NF‑κB–driven proinflammatory transcription and limiting antigen presentation and costimulatory molecule expression in myeloid cells. This pathway modulates macrophage and dendritic cell cytokine production, influences T cell polarization, and supports epithelial barrier integrity at mucosal sites. Dysregulated IL‑10 activity is implicated in immune‑mediated inflammatory conditions and infection‑associated immunopathology, making it a key node for mechanistic studies of immune regulation.
IL-10 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the IL10 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within IL10. When directed to adjacent sites on opposite DNA strands, the two nickases generate offset single-strand nicks that together produce a staggered double-strand break, requiring coordinated on-target activity from both guides. The resulting DNA break is resolved by endogenous cellular repair pathways, most commonly through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), leading to insertions or deletions that disrupt IL10 function. By requiring dual sgRNA engagement at the target locus, the double nicking approach enhances editing specificity and provides a complementary CRISPR strategy for applications where additional control over targeting precision is desired.
To support efficient identification of edited cells, one plasmid encodes GFP for fluorescent visualization of transfected populations, while the companion plasmid carries a puromycin resistance gene for antibiotic selection. Together, these features support efficient enrichment of co-transfected populations and simplify the validation of IL10-disrupted clones.
