Lp activates multiple innate immune receptors, and TOLLIP dampens MyD88-dependent signaling and may influence susceptibility to LD. We evaluated the effect of TOLLIP on innate immunity, pneumonia severity, and LD susceptibility in mouse lungs and human populations. To accomplish this, we evaluated the effect of TOLLIP on lung-specific Lp control and immune response and associated a common functional TOLLIP variant with Lp-induced innate immune responses and LD susceptibility in humans. After aerosol Lp infection, <italic>Tollip</italic><sup>−/−</sup> mice demonstrated significantly fewer bacterial CFU and increased cytokine responses from BAL fluid. <italic>Tollip</italic><sup>−/−</sup> macrophages also suppressed intracellular Lp replication in a flagellin-independent manner. The presence of a previously characterized, functionally active SNP associated with decreased TOLLIP mRNA transcript in monocytes was associated with increased TNF and IL-6 secretion after Lp stimulation of PBMC <italic>ex vivo.</italic> This genotype was separately associated with decreased LD susceptibility (309 controls, 88 cases, p = 0.008, OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.16 – 0.76) in a candidate gene association study. These results suggest that TOLLIP decreases lung-specific TLR responses to increase LD susceptibility in human populations. Better understanding of TOLLIP may lead to novel immunomodulatory therapies.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Phin, N"

Lp activates multiple innate immune receptors, and TOLLIP dampens MyD88-dependent signaling and may influence susceptibility to LD. We evaluated the effect of TOLLIP on innate immunity, pneumonia severity, and LD susceptibility in mouse lungs and human populations. To accomplish this, we evaluated the effect of TOLLIP on lung-specific Lp control and immune response and associated a common functional TOLLIP variant with Lp-induced innate immune responses and LD susceptibility in humans. After aerosol Lp infection, <italic>Tollip</italic><sup>−/−</sup> mice demonstrated significantly fewer bacterial CFU and increased cytokine responses from BAL fluid. <italic>Tollip</italic><sup>−/−</sup> macrophages also suppressed intracellular Lp replication in a flagellin-independent manner. The presence of a previously characterized, functionally active SNP associated with decreased TOLLIP mRNA transcript in monocytes was associated with increased TNF and IL-6 secretion after Lp stimulation of PBMC <italic>ex vivo.</italic> This genotype was separately associated with decreased LD susceptibility (309 controls, 88 cases, p = 0.008, OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.16 – 0.76) in a candidate gene association study. These results suggest that TOLLIP decreases lung-specific TLR responses to increase LD susceptibility in human populations. Better understanding of TOLLIP may lead to novel immunomodulatory therapies.</p></abstract></article-meta></front><body><sec id="S1"><title>Introduction</title><p id="P3">An outbreak of severe pneumonia at a Philadelphia American Legion convention in 1976 led to identification of <italic>Legionella</italic> spp. as a cause of pneumonia.<sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref></sup><italic>Legionella</italic> pneumonia ranges from a mild illness to a severe multifocal pneumonia termed Legionnaires’ disease (LD) with significant mortality.<sup><xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup> In mammals, Lp infects alveolar macrophages after inhalation into the deep airways.<sup><xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></sup> Lp is unique from other pulmonary pathogens; it contains flagellin, displays LPS that avoids detection by TLR4, and secretes multiple immunoregulatory proteins into the cytosol of infected macrophages to impair host immune responses.<sup><xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>–<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref></sup> To survive intracellularly, Lp alters the phagolysosome within the macrophage, creating the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV).<sup><xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref></sup> Lp recruits proteins to the LCV that inhibit macrophage proinflammatory responses and permit its intracellular survival.<sup><xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>,<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref></sup> IL-1β and TNF produced by infected and bystander macrophages induce antibacterial defense by activating and recruiting macrophages to the infected site <sup><xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>, <xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup> Macrophages recognize Lp via multiple pathogen recognition receptors, including TLR2, TLR5, NLRC4, and NAIP5 in mice.<sup><xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>–<xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref></sup> Understanding the factors that influence signaling activity of these pathways may provide insight into unique mechanisms of host resistance and susceptibility to infection.</p><p id="P4">Toll-Interacting Protein (TOLLIP) regulates many innate immune processes that influence Lp immunity, including TLR2 and IL-1R, autophagy, and endosomal transport.<sup><xref rid="R16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>–<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref></sup> In humans, common genetic variation in the TOLLIP gene is associated with susceptibility to multiple intracellular infections.<sup><xref rid="R20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>–<xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup> How TOLLIP influences infectious disease host defense within the lung is not well understood.

Importantly, TOLLIP-deficient macrophages are resistant to Lp intracellular replication independently of flagellin, suggesting that TOLLIP acts independently of TLR5 and NLRC4 to influence immune responses. We link this finding to human immune responses and susceptibility to LD by demonstrating that a common, functionally active variant associated with TOLLIP deficiency (rs5743854 G/G genotype) is associated with increased cytokine responses to Lp and decreased risk for developing LD in a genetic case-control cohort from the Netherlands. Thus, we found that TOLLIP acts broadly to diminish innate immune responses and influence Lp pathogenesis.</p><p id="P27">We hypothesize that TOLLIP influences TLR2 signaling primarily to influence Lp disease. Lp is recognized by TLR2 (via Lp peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein), TLR5, NLRP3, NLRC4, and AIM2. TNF is increased and IL-10 is decreased in TOLLIP-deficient macrophages after TLR2 stimulation, which both suppress intracellular Lp replication. Infection of <italic>Tollip</italic><sup>−/−</sup> macrophages with Δ<italic>flaA</italic> Lp induces increased TNF and IL-1β and diminished intracellular replication, further supporting the critical effects of TOLLIP on TLR2 activity as sufficient for TOLLIP’s effect on Lp pathogenesis. Several questions remain, however. We demonstrate that TOLLIP acts upon TLR signaling and also influences IL-1β induction, even after infection with Δ<italic>flaA</italic> Lp. IL-1β is induced by the inflammasome, and inflammasome activation requires two signals: a priming signal, often MyD88-dependent, that upregulates expression of inflammasome components and pro-IL-1β, followed by an activation signal induced by ATP or nigericin for NLRP3, or cytosolic flagellin for NLRC4.<sup><xref rid="R44" ref-type="bibr">44</xref></sup> TOLLIP-deficient macrophages demonstrate hyperactive induction of the first signal. TOLLIP may diminish the second signal of inflammasome activation as well. TOLLIP contains the CUE ubiquitin-binding domain, which has multiple binding partners and may thus influence signaling across multiple innate immune pathways. Other autophagy proteins, such as Atg16L, diminish inflammasome activation.<sup><xref rid="R45" ref-type="bibr">45</xref></sup> Further, linear ubiquitin binding accessory protein SHARPIN suppresses both TLR and inflammasome activation directly.<sup><xref rid="R46" ref-type="bibr">46</xref></sup> Detailed study of TOLLIP’s activity after intracellular infection may provide insight into how ubiquitin signaling may influence innate immunity.</p><p id="P28">Lp avoids antimicrobial killing via multiple mechanisms, including by impairing autophagy.<sup><xref rid="R47" ref-type="bibr">47</xref></sup> However, we found that TOLLIP deficient macrophages demonstrated impaired starvation-induced autophagic flux, while simultaneously inhibiting Lp replication. To reconcile these seemingly contradictory data, we hypothesize that TOLLIP deficiency impairs the capacity for autophagy-induced immune inhibition. Depletion of critical autophagy proteins LC3 or Beclin leads to increased IL-1β production via two mechanisms: 1) decreased degradation of pro-IL-1β and 2) impaired degradation of inflammasome components. <sup><xref rid="R48" ref-type="bibr">48</xref></sup> If TOLLIP similarly influences immune responses, then different autophagy receptors may impact specific functions. One of the challenges to using small molecule autophagy inhibitors <italic>in vivo</italic> are side effects from off target functions. Therefore, this insight may identify novel drug targets that influence autophagy innate immune responses with minimal non-immune activity.</p><p id="P29">Intriguingly, we identified that TLR2 signaling in the absence of TOLLIP induces increased TNF and pro-inflammatory cytokines but diminished anti-inflammatory IL-10. The mechanism of this discrepancy is unclear. First, TOLLIP may selectively suppresses proinflammatory cytokine production in the TLR signaling cascade via novel, non-IRAK binding partners. Selective TRIF signaling, which occurs via nonclassical TLR4 activation induces Type I interferon activation followed by IL-10 induction.<sup><xref rid="R49" ref-type="bibr">49</xref></sup> Alternately, induction of ER stress from infection in the setting TOLLIP deficiency may alter the cytokine balance in macrophages. ER stress occurs during the unfolded protein response (UPR), and a characteristic of ER stress is the selective induction of proinflammatory cytokines and inflammation.<sup><xref rid="R50" ref-type="bibr">50</xref></sup> TOLLIP is a critical receptor for recycling insoluble protein aggregates, suggesting its importance in the UPR.<sup><xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref></sup> Further understanding of how TOLLIP selectively influences proinflammatory cytokine induction will provide novel insights into immune regulation.</p><p id="P30">TOLLIP SNP rs5743854 was associated with increased cytokine responses to Lp and decreased susceptibility to LD. This finding is consistent with prior observations that the TOLLIP rs5743854 G allele was functionally active, associated with decreased TOLLIP mRNA expression in monocytes, and altered the innate and adaptive immune responses to mycobacteria. <sup><xref rid="R26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref></sup> Currently, genetic variation in TOLLIP is also associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis, leprosy, leishmaniasis, and malaria. However, presence of the G/G allele is associated with increased risk for tuberculosis but decreased risk for LD and increased proinflammatory cytokine responses after infection with both pathogens. Given this well-characterized phenotype, we believe that the differences in susceptibility demonstrate the differential survival strategies of these two pathogens.
