Cytokine induction in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection is critical for pathogen control, by (i) mediating innate immune effector functions and (ii) instructing specific adaptive immunity. IL-10 is an important anti-inflammatory cytokine involved in pathogenesis of tuberculosis (TB). Here, we show that TLR3, a sensor of extracellular viral or host RNA with stable stem structures derived from infected or damaged cells, is essential for Mtb-induced IL-10 production. Upon Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) infection, TLR3(-/-) macrophages expressed lower IL-10 but higher IL-12p40 production, accompanied by reduced phosphorylation of Ala at Ser473. BCG-infected TLR3(-/-) mice exhibited reduced IL-10 but elevated IL-12 expression compared to controls. Moreover, higher numbers of splenic Thl cells and reduced pulmonary bacterial burden and tissue damage were observed in BCG-infected TLR3(-/-) mice. Finally, BCG RNA induced IL-10 in macrophages via TLR3-mediated activation of PI3K/AKT. Our findings demonstrate a critical role of TLR3-mediated regulation in the pathogenesis of mycobacterial infection involving mycobacterial RNA, which induces IL-10 through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
