KLF5 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) regulate cell proliferation and inflammation. Vitamin D signaling through vitamin D receptor (VDR) exerts anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory actions. However, an actual relationship between KLF5, NF-κB and VDR in the inflammation and proliferation of macrophages is still unclear. Here, we showed that LPS and proinflammatory cytokines stimulate KLF5 gene expression in macrophages, and that 1, 25(OH){sub 2}D{sub 3} suppresses LPS-induced KLF5 expression and cell proliferation via upregulation of VDR expression. Mechanistic studies suggested that KLF5 interacts with p50 subunit of NF-κB to cooperatively induce the expressions of positive cell cycle regulators cyclin B1 and Cdk1/Cdc2 in LPS-treated macrophages. Further studies revealed that 1, 25(OH){sub 2}D{sub 3}-induced interaction of VDR with p50 decreases LPS-induced interaction of KLF5 with p50. Collectively, we identify a novel regulatory pathway in which 1, 25(OH){sub 2}D{sub 3} induces VDR expression and promotes VDR interaction with p50 subunit of NF-κB, which in turn attenuates the association of KLF5 with p50 subunit of NF-κB and thus exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects on macrophages. - Highlights: • 1, 25(OH){sub 2}D{sub 3} suppresses LPS-induced KLF5 expression via upregulation of VDR expression. • KLF5 interacts with NF-κB-p50 to cooperatively induce the expressions of positive cell cycle regulators cyclin B1 and Cdk1/Cdc2 in LPS-treated macrophages. • 1,25(OH){sub 2}D{sub 3} induces interaction of VDR with p50.
