Previously, we showed that an oligodeoxynucleotide with AAAG repeats (AAAG ODN) rescued mice from fatal acute lung injury (ALI) induced by influenza virus and inhibited production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the injured lungs. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Upon the bioinformatic analysis revealing that the AAAG ODN is consensus to interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) binding site in the cis-regulatory elements of proinflammatory cytokines, we tried to explore whether the AAAG ODN could attenuate burn injury induced systemic inflammatory responses via inhibiting IRF5 pathway. Using the mouse model with sterile systemic inflammation induced by burn injury, we found that AAAG ODN prolonged the life span of the mice, decreased the expression of IRF5 at injured skin, reduced the production of TNF-α and IL-6 in blood and injured skin, and attenuated the ALI. Furthermore, AAAG ODN could bind IRF5 and inhibit the nuclear translocation of IRF5 in THP-1 cells. The data suggested that the AAAG ODN could act as a cytoplasmic decoy capable of interfering the function of IRF5, and be developed as a drug candidate for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
