We study the effect of interactions on the time reversal invariant topological insulators in four and three spatial dimensions. Their topological indices are expressed by the interacting Green's functions. Under the local self-energy approximation, we find that interaction could induce nontrivial frequency-domain winding numbers and change the topological classes of the system. Our results suggest that the topological phases could be destroyed without developing long range orders. Practical issues on the accurate frequency-momentum integration combined with DMFT and diagrammatic calculations of the interacting Green's functions are also addressed.
