Abstract:
:Virulent Legionella pneumophila replicate readily in thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages from genetically permissive A/J mice, but avirulent L. pneumophila do not. The production of cytokines by macrophages infected with L. pneumophila has been studied, but the correlation of bacterial virulence with immune responses of macrophages, such as proinflammatory cytokine production, is not well understood. In this regard, production of the cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 were examined in macrophage cultures infected in vitro with virulent vs. avirulent L. pneumophila. Infection of macrophages from A/J mice with the virulent L. pneumophila up-regulated mRNA expression for these cytokines, whereas avirulent bacteria resulted in only a slight or no detectable increase in cytokine mRNA. Similarly, virulent L. pneumophila induced the macrophages to produce relatively high levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 proteins as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, whereas avirulent bacteria induced only low or often undetectable amounts of these cytokines. Thus, these results show the murine macrophages from susceptible A/J mice are readily infected with virulent L. pneumophila in vitro and stimulated to produce the proinflammatory acute-phase cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6, but avirulent L. pneumophila did not. Such differences in induction of these proinflammatory cytokines by macrophages in response to virulent vs. avirulent L. pneumophila infections may be an important factor in the pathogenesis induced by these intracellular bacteria.
