| Abstract | 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 IL-1R. Two distinct cytokines, IL-1 and IL-1ß, can stimulate the type I IL-1R. IL-1ß 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-1ß in neutrophil recruitment to the lungs in response to L. pneumophila. Instead, we show that IL-1 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-1 specifically by hematopoietic cells. In contrast to IL-1ß, the innate signaling pathways that lead to the production of IL-1 in response to L. pneumophila remain poorly defined. In particular, although we confirm a role for inflammasomes for initiation of IL-1ß signaling in vivo, we find no essential role for inflammasomes in production of IL-1 . Instead, we propose that a novel host pathway, perhaps involving inhibition of host protein synthesis, is responsible for IL-1 production in response to virulent L. pneumophila. Our results establish IL-1 as a critical initiator of the inflammatory response to L. pneumophila in vivo and point to an important role for IL-1 in providing an alternative to inflammasome-mediated immune responses in vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
