ABSTRACT: Transcriptome analysis of LPS-stimulated bone marrow-derived dendritic cells with NR4A3 gene silencing The NR4A3/NOR1 belongs to the NR4A subfamily of the orphan nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, which is activated in a ligand-independent manner. To examine the role of NR4A3/NOR1 in gene expression of dendritic cells (DCs), we introduced NR4A3 siRNA into bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) and determined the expression levels of mRNA and proteins of cytokines, cell surface molecules, NFκB signaling-related proteins, and transcription factors. The expression level of NR4A3 was markedly up-regulated by TLRs-mediated stimulation in DCs. NR4A3 knockdown significantly suppressed LPS, CpG, or poly I:C-mediated up-regulation of CD80, CD86, IL-10, IL-6, and IL-12. Proliferation and IL-2 production levels of T cells co-cultured with NR4A3-knocked down DCs were significantly lower than that of T cells co-cultured with control DCs. Furthermore, the expression of IKKβ, IRF4, and IRF8 was significantly decreased in NR4A3 siRNA-introduced BMDCs. The knockdown experiments using siRNAs for IKKβ, IRF4, and/or IRF8 indicated that LPS-induced up-regulation of IL-10 and IL-6 was reduced in IKKβ knocked down cells, and that the up-regulation of IL-12 was suppressed by the knockdown of IRF4 and IRF8. Taken together, these results indicate that NR4A3 is involved in TLR-mediated activation and gene expression of DCs.
