Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that is the cause of a severe pneumonia in humans called Legionnaires’ Disease. A key feature of L. pneumophila pathogenesis is the rapid influx of neutrophils into the lungs, which occurs in response to signaling via the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R). Two distinct cytokines, IL-1α and IL-1β, can stimulate the IL-1R. IL-1β is produced upon activation of cytosolic sensors called inflammasomes that detect L. pneumophila in vitro and in vivo. Surprisingly, we find no essential role for IL-1β in neutrophil recruitment to the lungs in response to L. pneumophila. Instead, we show that interleukin-1α is a critical initiator of neutrophil recruitment to the lungs of L. pneumophila-infected mice. We find that neutrophil recruitment in response to virulent L. pneumophila requires the production of IL-1α specifically by hematopoietic cells. In contrast to IL-1β, the innate signaling pathways that lead to the production of IL-1α in response to L. pneumophila remain poorly defined. In particular, although we confirm a role for inflammasomes for initiation of IL-1β signaling in vivo, we find no essential role for inflammasomes in production of IL-1α. Instead, we propose that a novel host pathway, perhaps involving inhibition of host protein synthesis, is responsible for IL-1α production in response to virulent L. pneumophila. Our results establish IL-1α as a critical initiator of the inflammatory response to L. pneumophila in vivo, and point to an important role for IL-1α in providing an alternative to inflammasome-mediated immune responses in vivo.
