The epithelial-derived cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) has important roles in the initiation of allergic airway inflammation and the activation of dendritic cells. We have shown that the human TSLP gene is regulated in a NF-kappa B-dependent manner; however the factors that negatively regulate TSLP expression are not known. In this study we demonstrate that 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) is a negative regulator of TSLP expression in airway epithelial cells. This inhibition is manifested as a block in the IL-1 beta-mediated recruitment of NF-kappa B to the human TSLP promoter. 9-cis-RA-mediated inhibition is not restricted to TSLP gene expression but rather reflects a general inhibition of NF-kappa B activation, as other NF-kappa B-regulated-genes were also inhibited in a similar manner by 9-cis-RA treatment. Taken as a whole, these data demonstrate that inhibition of IL-1 beta-dependent genes by active retinoid X receptors involves antagonism of NF-kappa B signaling.
