IRF3 Promotes Production of IL-6 and Nitric Oxide but Represses CCL22 in RAW264.7 Macrophage Cells Exposed to Lipopolysaccharides in Culture by Moore TC, Pinkerton TS, Petro TM

“…Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) plays a significant role in expression of both IL-6 and NO during macrophage responses through Interferon-stimulated Response Elements (ISREs) of promoters.Methods: To determine the role of IRF3 in LPS-induced pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophage responses, we used the macrophage cell line RAW264.7 modified with an ISRE promoter driving secreted luciferase (RAW264.7-Lucia) to assess IRF3 activity in response to Escherichia coli and Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS. For comparison, responses to poly I:C and IFN-gamma and responses from RAW264.7 cells deficient in IRF3 were also assessed.Results: Herein, LPS of P. gingivalis, significantly enhanced production of IL-6 and NO that was induced by E. coli LPS but significantly decreased poly I:C-induced ISRE promoter activity. …”
