Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) mediates the transcriptional induction of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in response to viral and bacterial infections. Here we show that the hydroxystilbene piceatannol inhibits the LPS-mediated activation of IRF3 and subsequent ISG induction. Consequently, piceatannol blocks the LPS-induced up-regulation of critical mediators of the inflammatory response such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and macrophage chemoattractant protein (MCP-1). Furthermore, the LPS-mediated induction of tissue factor (TF), a cell surface protein responsible for initiating the coagulation cascade, is also inhibited by piceatannol. The effectiveness of piceatannol in blocking both the inflammatory response and the coagulation pathway is evidenced by its ability to confer protection against LPS-induced septic shock in a murine model. Thus, IRF3 appears to be a promising target for pharmacologic intervention in the prevention or treatment of septic shock syndrome.
