Chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) 4 has diverse functions in membrane trafficking, apoptosis, angiogenesis and cell differentiation. CLIC4 is abundantly expressed in macrophages, but its role in innate immune functions is unclear. Here we show that primary murine macrophages expressed increased amounts of CLIC4 after exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The endogenous CLIC4 level is significantly elevated in the brain, heart, lung, kidney, liver and spleen after LPS injection of mice. Stable macrophage lines overexpressing CLIC4 produced more TNF, IL-6, IL-12 and CCL5 than mock transfectants when exposed to LPS. To explore the role of CLIC4 in vivo, we generated CLIC4-null mice. These mice were protected from LPS-induced death, had reduced serum levels of inflammatory cytokines. Upon infection with Listeria monocytogenes, CLIC4-deficient mice were impaired in their ability to clear infection, and their macrophages responded to Listeria by producing less inflammatory cytokines and chemokines than the wild type controls. When challenged with LPS in vitro, deletion of clic4 gene had little effect in MAPK and NF-κB activation, but led to a reduced accumulation of phosphorylated IRF3 within macrophages. Conversely, overexpression of CLIC4 enhanced LPS-mediated IRF3. Thus, CLIC4 is an LPS-induced product that can serve as a positive regulator of LPS signaling.
