Activation of the TLR4 signaling pathway by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) leads to induction of both inflammatory and interferon-stimulated genes, but the mechanisms through which these coordinately activated transcriptional programs are balanced to promote an optimal innate immune response remain poorly understood. In a genome-wide small interfering RNA (siRNA) screen of the LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-alpha) response in macrophages, we identify the interferon-stimulated protein IFIT1 as a negative regulator of the inflammatory gene program. Transcriptional profiling further identifies a positive regulatory role for IFIT1 in type I interferon expression, implicating IFIT1 as a reciprocal modulator of LPS-induced gene classes. We demonstrate that these effects of IFIT1 are mediated through modulation of a Sin3A-HDAC2 transcriptional regulatory complex at LPS-induced gene loci. Beyond the well-studied role of cytosolic IFIT1 in restricting viral replication, our data demonstrate a function for nuclear IFIT1 in differential transcriptional regulation of separate branches of the LPS-induced gene program.
