Despite extensive studies that unraveled ligands and signal transduction pathways triggered by TLRs, little is known about the regulation of TLR gene expression. TLR3 plays a crucial role in the recognition of viral pathogens and induction of immune responses by myeloid DCs. IFN regulatory factor (IRF)-8, a member of the IRF family, is a transcriptional regulator that plays essential roles in the development and function of myeloid lineage, affecting different subsets of myeloid DCs. In this study, we show that IRF-8 negatively controls TLR3 gene expression by suppressing IRF-1- and/or polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid-stimulated TLR3 expression in primary human monocyte-derived DCs (MDDCs). MDDCs expressed TLR3 increasingly during their differentiation from monocytes to DCs with a peak at day 5, when TLR3 expression was further enhanced upon stimulation with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid and then was promptly downregulated. We found that both IRF-1 and IRF-8 bind the human TLR3 promoter during MDDC differentiation in vitro and in vivo but with different kinetic and functional effects. We demonstrate that IRF-8-induced repression of TLR3 is specifically mediated by ligand-activated Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase association. Indeed, Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-dephosphorylated IRF-8 bound to the human TLR3 promoter competing with IRF-1 and quashing its activity by recruitment of histone deacetylase 3. Our findings identify IRF-8 as a key player in the control of intracellular viral dsRNA-induced responses and highlight a new mechanism for negative regulation of TLR3 expression that can be exploited to block excessive TLR activation.
