Bacillus anthracis spores and lethal toxin induce IL-1beta via functionally distinct signaling pathways.

Abstract:

:Previous reports suggested that lethal toxin (LT)-induced caspase-1 activity and/or IL-1beta accounted for Bacillus anthracis (BA) infection lethality. In contrast, we now report that caspase-1-mediated IL-1beta expression in response to BA spores is required for anti-BA host defenses. Caspase-1(-/-) and IL-1beta(-/-) mice are more susceptible than wild-type (WT) mice to lethal BA infection, are less able to kill BA both in vivo and in vitro, and addition of rIL-1beta to macrophages from these mice restored killing in vitro. Non-germinating BA spores induced caspase-1 activity, IL-1beta and nitric oxide, by which BA are killed in WT but not in caspase-1(-/-) mice, suggesting that the spore itself stimulated inflammatory responses. While spores induced IL-1beta in LT-susceptible and -resistant macrophages, LT induced IL-1beta only in LT-susceptible macrophages. Cooperation between MyD88-dependent and -independent signaling pathways was required for spore-induced, but not LT-induced, IL-1beta. While both spores and LT induced caspase-1 activity and IL-1beta, LT did not induce IL-1beta mRNA, and spores did not induce cell death. Thus different components of the same bacterium each induce IL-1beta by distinct signaling pathways. Whereas the spore-induced IL-1beta limits BA infection, LT-induced IL-1beta enables BA to escape host defenses.
