Background: IκBNS, a nuclear IκB protein, regulates a subset of Toll-like receptor (TLR) dependent genes. A cholate-containing high-fat diet (HFD (CA (+))) induces TLR4 mediated early inflammatory response. The present study aims to clarify the lack of IκBNS promotes atherogenesis in low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (LDLr−/−) mice fed HFD (CA (+)) compared with those fed a cholate-free HFD (HFD (CA (-))). Methods and results: Mice that lacked IκBNS (IκBNS−/−) were crossed with LDLr−/− mice and formation of atherosclerotic lesions was analyzed after 6-week consumption of HFD (CA (+)) or HFD (CA (-)). IκBNS−/−/LDLr−/− mice fed HFD (CA (+))(IκBNS−/−/LDLr−/−(CA (+))) showed a 3.5-fold increase of atherosclerotic lesion size in the aorta compared with LDLr−/−(CA (+)) mice (p< 0.01), whereas there was no difference between LDLr−/−(CA (-)) and IκBNS−/−/LDLr−/−(CA (-)) mice. Immunohistochemical analysis of the aortic root revealed HFD (CA (+)) significantly increased Mac-3 (macrophage)-positive area by 1.5-fold (p< 0.01) and TLR4, interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression by 1.7-fold (p< 0.05) and 1.5-fold (p< 0.05), respectively, in IκBNS−/−/LDLr−/−(CA (+)) compared with LDLr-/-(CA (+)) mice. Furthermore, active STAT3 (pSTAT3)-positive cells were significantly increased by 1.7-fold in the lesions of IκBNS−/−/LDLr−/−(CA (+)) compared with LDLr−/−(CA (+)) mice (p< 0.01). These findings suggest that IκBNS deficiency and HFD (CA (+)) promote atherogenesis in LDLr−/− mice via TLR4/IL-6/STAT3 pathway. Finally, we showed the monocytes from peripheral blood of IκBNS−/−/LDLr−/−(CA (+)) mice were found to contain
