SUPPLEMENTARY FIGURES
fig. S1. Generation of myeloid lineage-specific conditional IPMK-null mice. (A) A schematic of
myeloid lineage-specific conditional IPMK-null mice generation. Exon 6 was floxed in the targeted allele
and excised in the conditional knockout allele. (B) Levels of IPMK mRNA and protein in IpmkWT and
IpmkΔMac BMDMs were measured by RT-qPCR and immunoblotting, respectively. (C) Levels of IPMK
mRNA and protein in peritoneal macrophages from IpmkWT and IpmkΔMac mice were measured by RT-
qPCR and immunoblotting, respectively. (D) Levels of IPMK mRNA in muscle, white adipose tissue, and
liver from IpmkWT and IpmkΔMac mice were measured by RT-qPCR. The data shown are representative of
at least three independent experiments, and are presented as means ± SE (n = 3). *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001
(Student’s t test).
fig. S2. Validation of myeloid lineage-specific conditional IPMK-null mice. (A and B) Flow
cytometric analyses were performed using cells from the peritoneal cavity (PECs), mesenteric lymph
nodes (MLNs), and spleen isolated from IpmkWT and IpmkΔMac mice. The cells were gated on specific cell
surface markers for macrophages (A) and monocytes (B). IpmkWT littermates served as controls for
IpmkΔMac mice. Data are representative of three mice per group from two independent experiments.
fig. S3. IPMK depletion in macrophages blunts TLR-dependent inflammatory responses. As shown
in Fig. 2C, the phosphorylation of signaling molecules was analyzed by immunoblotting lysates of
BMDMs stimulated for 2 hours with 100 ng/ml LPS. Densitometric quantitation was performed, and the
results were normalized with respect to control levels. The data shown are presented as means ± SE (n =
3). **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (Student’s t test).
fig. S4. IPMK depletion in RAW 264.7 macrophages down-regulates TLR-dependent inflammatory
responses. (A to D) RAW 264.7 macrophages transfected with scrambled RNA (scRNA) or IPMK-
specific siRNA (siIPMK). Experiment was performed 48 hours after transfection. (A) Validation of Ipmk
depletion in RAW 264.7 macrophages transfected with scrambled or siIPMK as measured by qPCR. (B)
Pro-inflammatory cytokines Il-1, Il-6, and Tnf mRNA expression was measured by RT-qPCR in
scRNA or siIPMK transfected RAW 264.7 macrophages 6 hours after stimulation with 100 ng/ml LPS.
(C) Secreted levels of the cytokines IL-1, IL-6, and TNF were measured in scRNA or siIPMK
transfected RAW 264.7 macrophage culture media by ELISA 6 hours after stimulation with 100 ng/ml
LPS. (D) Phosphorylation of signaling molecules was analyzed by immunoblotting lysates of scRNA or
siIPMK transfected RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated for 2 hours with 100 ng/ml LPS. Data shown are
representative of at least three independent experiments (A–D), and are presented as means ± SE (n = 3).
*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (Student’s t test).
fig. S5. IPMK depletion in macrophages does not alter TLR3-dependent inflammatory responses.
(A) mRNA levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines Il-6, Tnf, and Ifn were quantified in BMDMs 6
hours after stimulation with 10 g/ml poly (I:C). (B) Secreted levels of the cytokines IL-6 and TNF in
BMDM culture media were measured by ELISA 6 hours after stimulation with 10 g/ml poly (I:C). (C)
Phosphorylation of signaling molecules in BMDMs stimulated for 2 hours with 10 g/ml poly (I:C) was
analyzed by immunoblotting. In all BMDMs studies, IpmkWT littermates served as controls for IpmkΔMac
mice. Data shown are representative of at least three independent experiments (A–C), and are presented
as means ± SE (n = 3). *P < 0.05 (Student’s t test).
fig. S6. Upstream TLR signaling regulators are not altered in IPMK-depleted macrophages. (A)
Expression of mRNAs for negative regulators of TLR signaling pathway were measured by RT-qPCR in
BMDMs 6 hours after stimulation with 100 ng/ml LPS. (B) Expression of mRNAs for upstream
regulators of the TLR pathway was analyzed in BMDMs stimulated for 6 hours with 100 ng/ml LPS. (C)
Protein levels of major upstream factors (i.e., TLR4, MyD88, TRIF) were measured in BMDMs 2 hours
after stimulation with 100 ng/ml LPS. In all BMDMs studies, IpmkWT littermates served as controls for
IpmkΔMac mice. Data shown are representative of three independent experiments (A–C), and are presented
as means ± SE (n = 3). Student’s t tests revealed no significant changes.
fig. S7. Overexpression of IPMK reduces TRAF6 ubiquitination. HEK293T cells were transiently co-
transfected with FLAG-TRAF6 plus mock, HA-WT ubiquitin, HA-K48 ubiquitin, or HA-K63 ubiquitin,
plus GST or GST-IPMK expression plasmids. At 48 hours post-transfection, the cells were lysed, the
lysates were boiled at 95°C for 15 min and subjected to immunoprecipitation with an anti-FLAG antibody,
and immunoblotting was performed with anti-FLAG, anti-GST, or anti-HA antibodies.
