Forkhead box J2 (Foxj2) is a member of the forkhead\/hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 transcription factor family and is essential for multiple biological functions. However, the involvement of Foxj2 in the inflammatory process in macrophages remains unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study aimed to explore the role of Foxj2 in the inflammatory processes of macrophages activated through lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The modulation of Foxj2 expression in macrophages in response to LPS stimulation was investigated via reverse\u2010transcription quantitative (RT\u2010q) PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence staining assays. Macrophages were infected with adenovirus vectors to upregulate the expression of the Foxj2 gene. Luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)\u2010PCR analysis were used to determine the regulatory relationship between Foxj2 and Tak1 (transforming growth factor\u2010\u03b2\u2010activated kinase 1).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LPS stimulation of peritoneal macrophages led to a significant decrease in Foxj2 expression. In addition, LPS treatment led to Foxj2 depletion in several mouse tissues, including the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, adipose tissue, blood vessels, and peritoneal macrophages. Furthermore, Foxj2 overexpression ameliorated the mRNA expression of TNF, IL\u20101\u03b2, IL\u20106, IL\u201012, IFN\u2010stimulated gene 15, and IFN\u2010\u03b2 in macrophages treated with LPS. Additionally, Foxj2 overexpression attenuated phosphorylation of Stat1, p65, Erk1\/2, Jnk, and p38. Subsequent experiments confirmed the binding of Foxj2 to the promoter region of Tak1, led to the suppression of Tak1\u2019s transcriptional activity. Moreover, a reduction in Foxj2 levels was observed during the pathological processes of numerous diseases characterized by inflammation, including high\u2010fat diet (HFD)\u2013induced obesity, HFD\u2010induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), doxorubicin\u2010induced cardiomyopathy, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and D\u2010galactose induced aging conditions.<\/jats:p>\n
