Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative, flagellated bacterium that survives in phagocytes and causes Legionnaires’ disease. Upon infection of mammalian macrophages, cytosolic flagellin triggers the activation of Naip/NLRC4 inflammasome, which culminates in pyroptosis and restriction of bacterial replication. Although NLRC4 and caspase-1 participate in the same inflammasome, Nlrc4-/- mice and their macrophages are more permissive to L. pneumophila replication compared with Casp1/11-/-. This feature supports the existence of a pathway that is NLRC4-dependent and caspase-1/11-independent. Here, we demonstrate that caspase-8 is recruited to the Naip5/NLRC4/ASC inflammasome in response to flagellin-positive bacteria. Accordingly, caspase-8 is activated in Casp1/11-/- macrophages in a process dependent on flagellin, Naip5, NLRC4 and ASC. Silencing caspase-8 in Casp1/11-/- cells culminated in macrophages that were as susceptible as Nlrc4-/- for the restriction of L. pneumophila replication. Accordingly, macrophages and mice deficient in Asc/Casp1/11-/- were more susceptible than Casp1/11-/- and as susceptible as Nlrc4-/- for the restriction of infection. Mechanistically, we found that caspase-8 activation triggers gasdermin-D-independent pore formation and cell death. Interestingly, caspase-8 is recruited to the Naip5/NLRC4/ASC inflammasome in wild-type macrophages, but it is only activated when caspase-1 or gasdermin-D is inhibited. Our data suggest that caspase-8 activation in the Naip5/NLRC4/ASC inflammasome enable induction of cell death when caspase-1 or gasdermin-D is suppressed. Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, an atypical pneumophila that affects people worldwide. Besides the clinical importance, L. pneumophila is a very useful model of pathogenic bacteria for investigation of the interactions of innate immune cells with bacterial pathogens. Studies using L. pneumophila demonstrated that Naip5 and NLRC4 activate caspase-1 and this inflammasome is activated by bacterial flagellin. However, macrophages and mice deficient in NLRC4 are more susceptible for L. pneumophila replication than those deficient in caspase-1, indicating that the flagellin/Naip5/NLRC4 inflammasome triggers responses that are independent on caspase-1. Here, we used L. pneumophila to investigate this novel pathway and found that caspase-8 interacts with NLRC4 in a process that is dependent on ASC and independent of caspase-1 and caspase-11. Although caspase-8 is recruited to the Naip5/NLRC4/ASC inflammasome, it is only activated when caspase-1 or gasdermin-D is inhibited. Our data suggest that caspase-8 activation in the Naip5/NLRC4/ASC inflammasome may favor host responses during infections against pathogens that inhibit components of the pyroptotic cell death including caspase-1 and gasdermin-D.
