The immune system must discriminate between pathogenic and nonpathogenic microbes in order to initiate an appropriate response. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) detect microbial components common to both pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria, whereas Nod-like receptors (NLRs) sense microbial components introduced into the host cytosol by the specialized secretion systems or pore-forming toxins of bacterial pathogens. The host signaling pathways that respond to bacterial secretion systems remain poorly understood. Infection with the pathogen Legionella pneumophila, which utilizes a type IV secretion system (T4SS), induced an increased proinflammatory cytokine response compared to avirulent bacteria in which the T4SS was inactivated. This enhanced response involved NF-κB activation by TLR signaling as well as Nod1 and Nod2 detection of type IV secretion. Furthermore, a TLR- and RIP2-independent pathway leading to p38 and SAPK/JNK MAPK activation was found to play an equally important role in the host response to virulent L. pneumophila. Activation of this MAPK pathway was T4SS-dependent and coordinated with TLR signaling to mount a robust proinflammatory cytokine response to virulent L. pneumophila. These findings define a previously uncharacterized host response to bacterial type IV secretion that activates MAPK signaling and demonstrate that coincident detection of multiple bacterial components enables immune discrimination between virulent and avirulent bacteria. The host immune system senses bacterial infection by recognizing conserved bacterial components. The host can differentiate between virulent and avirulent bacteria by detecting the activity of bacterial secretion systems that inject effector proteins into cells. How the host responds to such bacterial secretion systems is not fully understood. Using the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila and isogenic mutants that differ in defined virulence properties, a robust immune response to L. pneumophila and its type IV secretion system was identified. Using macrophages lacking various aspects of the innate immune system, it was found that this host response is comprised of signaling by extracellular and intracellular immune receptors, as well as host signaling triggered by the type IV secretion system. Through genomic and biochemical analyses of L. pneumophila–infected macrophages, type IV secretion was found to activate additional host signaling pathways distinct from known immune pathways. Our data indicate that coincident detection of multiple bacterial components is required for a robust immune response to bacterial infection and highlights a key host pathway triggered by bacterial type IV secretion that contributes to this immune response.
