MyD88-dependent signaling is important for secretion of early inflammatory cytokines and host protection in response to Legionella pneumophila infection. Although TLR2 contributes to MyD88-dependent clearance of L. pneumophila, TLR-independent functions of MyD88 could also be important. To determine why MyD88 is critical for host protection to L. pneumophila the contribution of multiple TLRs and IL-18 receptor (IL-18R)-dependent IFN-γ production in a mouse. Mice deficient for TLR5 or TLR9, or deficient for TLR2 along with either TLR5 or TLR9, were competent for controlling bacterial replication and had no apparent defects in cytokine production compared to control mice. MyD88-dependent production of IFN-γ in the lung was mediated primarily by NK cells and required IL-18R signaling. Reducing IFN-γ levels did not greatly affect the kinetics of L. pneumophila replication or clearance in infected mice. Additionally, IFN-γ-deficient mice did not have a susceptibility phenotype as severe as the MyD88-deficient mice and were able to control a pulmonary infection by L. pneumophila. Thus, MyD88-dependent innate immune responses induced by L. pneumophila involve both TLR-dependent responses and IL-18R-dependent production of IFN-γ by NK cells, and these MyD88-dependent pathways can function independently to provide host protection against an intracellular pathogen.
