Lipid droplet (LD) formation occurs during infection of macrophages with numerous intracellular pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is believed that M. tuberculosis and other bacteria specifically provoke LD formation as a pathogenic strategy in order to create a depot of host lipids for use as a carbon source to fuel intracellular growth. Here we show that LD formation is not a bacterially driven process during M. tuberculosis infection, but rather occurs as a result of immune activation of macrophages as part of a host defense mechanism. We show that an IFN-γ driven, HIF-1α dependent signaling pathway, previously implicated in host defense, redistributes macrophage lipids into LDs. Furthermore, we show that M. tuberculosis is able to acquire host lipids in the absence of LDs, but not in the presence of IFN-γ induced LDs. This result uncouples macrophage LD formation from bacterial acquisition of host lipids. In addition, we show that IFN-γ driven LD formation supports the production of host protective eicosanoids including PGE2 and LXB4. Finally, we demonstrate that HIF-1α and its target gene Hig2 are required for the majority of LD formation in the lungs of mice infected with M. tuberculosis, thus demonstrating that immune activation provides the primary stimulus for LD formation in vivo. Taken together our data demonstrate that macrophage LD formation is a host-driven component of the adaptive immune response to M. tuberculosis, and suggest that macrophage LDs are not an important source of nutrients for M. tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of the disease tuberculosis, causes more deaths annually than any other single bacterial pathogen. M. tuberculosis primarily lives in macrophages, immune cells which specialize in phagocytosing and killing pathogens. In order to survive this inhospitable environment, M. tuberculosis must be both resistant to the bactericidal activities of macrophages and able to exploit macrophages as a replicative niche. Intracellular bacterial pathogens acquire all of their nutrients from the host cell, and M. tuberculosis relies on lipids as a key carbon source during infection. It has been proposed that lipid droplets, organelles that store neutral lipids and are observed in macrophages during M. tuberculosis infection, are an accessible nutrient source for M. tuberculosis. Furthermore, it is thought that M. tuberculosis provokes macrophages into making LDs as a pathogenic strategy. Here, we present evidence that LD formation is actually a programmed macrophage immune response, and part of the broader program of IFN-γ activation of macrophages. Furthermore, we present data uncoupling bacterial acquisition of host lipids from the presence of LDs in macrophages. Thus, we find that in addition to supporting immune functions, LDs are also unlikely to be an important nutrient source for M. tuberculosis in macrophages.
