摘要：

Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) has a pivotal role in innate immune responses, and the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein delta (C/EBP delta, Cebpd) is a Tlr4-induced gene. Here we identify a positive feedback loop in which C/EBP delta activates Tlr4 gene expression in macrophages and tumour cells. In addition, we discovered a negative feedback loop whereby the tumour suppressor FBXW7 alpha (FBW7, Cdc4), whose gene expression is inhibited by C/EBP delta, targets C/EBP delta for degradation when C/EBP delta is phosphorylated by GSK-3 beta. Consequently, FBXW7 alpha suppresses Tlr4 expression and responses to the ligand lipopolysaccharide. FBXW7 alpha depletion alone is sufficient to augment pro-inflammatory signalling in vivo. Moreover, as inflammatory pathways are known to modulate tumour biology, Cebpd null mammary tumours, which have reduced metastatic potential, show altered expression of inflammation-associated genes. Together, these findings reveal a role for C/EBP delta upstream of Tlr4 signalling and uncover a function for FBXW7 alpha as an attenuator of inflammatory signalling.
