Background: Macrophage polarization regulates human inflammatory disorders. Results: KLF6 is a novel transcriptional regulator of macrophage polarization. Conclusion: KLF6 regulates macrophage inflammatory gene expression by modulating functions of NF-B and PPAR. Significance: Pharmacological agents that modulate KLF6 signaling may allow for therapeutic gain in the treatment of inflammatory disorders. Accumulating evidence supports the importance of macrophage plasticity in a broad spectrum of biological processes operative in health and disease. A major locus of control regulating macrophage polarization is at the transcriptional level, and several major pathways have been elucidated in recent years. In this study, we identify the Kruppel-like transcription factor 6 (KLF6) as a molecular toggle controlling macrophage speciation. KLF6 expression was robustly induced by pro-inflammatory M1 stimuli (e.g. LPS and IFN-) and strongly suppressed by M2 stimuli (e.g. IL4 and IL-13) in human and murine macrophages. Gain- and loss-of-function studies suggest that KLF6 is required for optimal LPS-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression, acting cooperatively with NF-B. Furthermore, KLF6 inhibits anti-inflammatory gene expression by negatively regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor expression in macrophages. Collectively, these observations identify KLF6 as a novel transcriptional regulator of macrophage polarization.
