摘要
Objective:It is still unclear which key transcription factors determine differentiation of IL-10+ regulatory B cells(Bregs),which play an importance role in restraining the excessive inflammatory responses such as autoimmune diseases by secreting IL-10.Thus, we explore which transcription factor is the key to the expression of IL-10, a pivotal cytokine in Bregs. Methods: We used two webs to predict novel potential transcription factors Foxd3 binding sites in IL-10 promoter region. Chip-PCR assay and IL-10 promoter report system were used to analyze the binding capacity of Foxd3. Foxd3 expression was knocked down by Foxd3 shRNAin B cells to verify its affection on IL-10. In addition, Foxd3 expression was analyzed by WB in lupus-prone MRL/lpr mice.Results: We found that IL-10 promoter had many binding sites for Foxd3. Further, Chip-PCR assay demonstrated that Foxd3 directly bound to the predicted binding sites about start codon upstream-600~-700 bp and-1400 bp, and suppressed the activation of IL-10 promoter. Finally, knock down of Foxd3 could effectively promote Breg production by up-regulating IL-10 expression. Conversely, up-regulated Foxd3 expression was negatively associated with IL-10+ Breg cells in lupus-prone MRL/lpr mice. Conclusions: Our data suggest that Foxd3 suppresses the production of IL-10+ Breg cells by directly binding IL-10 promoter. This study may provide a hint for Breg production and its application to the treatment of autoimmune diseases by regulating Foxd3 expression.
