The present invention provides compositions and methods for upregulating IL-10 production in a stimulated cell. In one aspect, the invention provides methods of identifying ERK activating agents capable of activating and amplifying the ERK MAPK pathway in a cell. Such ERK activating agents are capable of upregulating the production of IL-10 in stimulated cells. In another aspect, the invention provides ERK activating agents identified by the screening methods of the invention. Methods are also provided for preventing and treating inflammation in a susceptible patient by administering to the patient, a therapeutically effective amount of an ERK activating agent identified in accordance with the invention.

La présente invention concerne des compositions et des méthodes destinées à réguler positivement la production d'IL-10 dans une cellule stimulée. Dans un aspect de l'invention, on décrit des méthodes d'identification d'agents d'activation d'ERK pouvant activer et amplifier la voie ERK MAPK dans une cellule. Ces agents d'activation d'ERK peuvent réguler positivement la production d'IL-10 dans des cellules stimulées. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, on décrit des agents d'activation d'ERK identifiés par les méthodes de criblage de l'invention. Des méthodes sont également mises en oeuvre pour prévenir ou traiter une inflammation chez un patient à risque, par administration à ce dernier d'une quantité thérapeutiquement efficace d'un agent d'activation d'ERK identifié selon les méthodes de l'invention.
