Interleukin (IL)-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) 4 is a central enzyme of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways. This study tested the hypothesis that IRAK4 kinase activity is prerequisite for regulating innate immunity during infections with intracellular bacteria. To this end, we analyzed responses of macrophages obtained from mice expressing wild-type IRAK4 or its kinase-inactive K213M mutant (IRAK4KI) upon infection with intracellular bacteria Listeria monocytogenes or Mycobacterium smegmatis. In contrast to robust induction of cytokines by macrophages expressing kinase-sufficient IRAK4, IRAK4KI macrophages expressed decreased tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 upon infection with L. monocytogenes or M. smegmatis. Bacterial infection of IRAK4KI macrophages led to attenuated activation of IRAK1, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB, impaired induction of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase mRNA and secretion of NO, but resulted in elevated microbial burdens. Compared to wild-type animals, systemic infection of IRAK4KI mice with M. smegmatis or L. monocytogenes resulted in decreased levels of serum IL-6 and CXC motif ligand-1 but increased bacterial burdens in the spleen and liver. Thus, a loss of IRAK4 kinase activity underlies deficient cytokine and microbicidal responses during infection with intracellular bacteria L. monocytogenes or M. smegmatis via impaired activation of IRAK1, MAPKs, and NF-κB but increases bacterial burdens, correlating with decreased induction of NO.
