ABSTRACT
The immune response against Legionella longbeachae, a causative agent of the often-fatal Legionnaires' pneumonia, is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the specific roles of tissue-resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and infiltrating phagocytes during infection with this pathogen. AMs were the predominant cell type that internalized bacteria 1 day after infection. A total of 3 and 5 days after infection, AM numbers were greatly reduced, whereas there was an influx of neutrophils and, later, monocyte-derived cells (MCs) into lung tissue. AMs carried greater numbers of viable L. longbeachae than neutrophils and MCs, which correlated with a higher capacity of L. longbeachae to translocate bacterial effector proteins required for bacterial replication into the AM cytosol. Cell ablation experiments demonstrated that AM promoted infection, whereas neutrophils and MC were required for efficient bacterial clearance. Interleukin (IL)-18 was important for interferon-γ production by IL-18R+ natural killer cells and T cells, which, in turn, stimulated reactive oxygen species-mediated bactericidal activity in neutrophils, resulting in the restriction of L. longbeachae infection. Ciliated bronchiolar epithelial cells also expressed IL-18R but did not play a role in IL-18-mediated L. longbeachae clearance. Our results have identified opposing innate functions of tissue-resident and infiltrating immune cells during L. longbeachae infection that may be manipulated to improve protective responses.
