Endotoxin tolerance, a key mechanism for suppressing excessive inflammatory cytokine production and attendant toxicity, is induced by prior exposure of macrophages to TLR ligands. Induction of tolerance by endogenous cytokines has not been investigated. We show that prior exposure to TNF induces a tolerant state in macrophages, with diminished cytokine production on LPS challenge and protection from LPS-induced lethality. TNF-induced tolerization was mediated by coordinate action of two inhibitory mechanisms, suppression of LPS-induced signaling and chromatin remodeling. Mechanistically, TNF-induced tolerance was distinct from TLR-induced tolerance as it was dependent on GSK3, which suppressed chromatin accessibility and promoted rapid termination of NF-κB signaling by augmenting negative feedback by A20 and I-κBα. These results reveal an unexpected homeostatic function of TNF and provide a GSK3-mediated mechanism for preventing prolonged and excessive inflammation.
