Leukocyte integrin signaling regulates FOXP1 gene expression via FOXP1-IT1 long non-coding RNA-mediated IRAK1 pathway.

ABSTRACT: Leukocyte integrin-dependent downregulation of the transcription factor FOXP1 is required for monocyte differentiation and macrophage functions, but the precise gene regulatory mechanism is unknown. Here, we identify multi-promoter structure (P1, P2, and P3) of the human FOXP1 gene. Clustering of the β₂-leukocyte integrin Mac-1 downregulated transcription from these promoters. We extend our prior observation that IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) is physically associated with Mac-1 and provide evidence that IRAK1 is a potent suppressor of human FOXP1 promoter. IRAK1 reduced phosphorylation of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) via inhibiting phosphorylation of calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II delta (CaMKIIδ), thereby promoting recruitment of HDAC4 to P1 chromati
