Divergence of Apoptosis-Inducing and Preventing Signals in Bacteria-Faced Macrophages Through Myeloid Differentiation Factor 88 and IL-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase Members¹

Max von Pettenkofer Institute for Hygiene and Medical Microbiology, Munich, Germany

The induction of apoptosis in host cells is a common strategy by which pathogenic bacteria interfere with the host immune response. The Yersinia enterocolitica outer protein P (YopP) inhibits activation of transcription factor NF-B in macrophages, which suppresses NF-B-dependent antiapoptotic activities. The simultaneous initiation of proapoptotic signaling by yersiniae infection or LPS treatment results in macrophage apoptosis. In this study, we used YopP as a tool to dissect survival- and death-inducing pathways in bacteria-faced macrophages. We cotransfected J774A.1 macrophages with expression plasmids for YopP and dominant-negative mutants of signal transmitters of the NF-B cascade downstream from the LPS receptor complex. Dominant-negative myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) or IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK) 2 diminished LPS-induced apoptosis in YopP-transfected macrophages, suggesting implication of MyD88 and IRAK2 in signaling cell death. In contrast, dominant-negative IRAK1 and TNFR-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) did not provide protection, but augmented LPS-mediated apoptosis in the absence of YopP, which indicates roles of IRAK1 and TRAF6 in the antiapoptotic signal relay of the NF-B cascade. The distinct functions of IRAK members in macrophage survival were reflected by opposing effects of dominant-negative IRAK1 and IRAK2 on Y. enterocolitica-mediated apoptosis. Yersiniae- and LPS-dependent cell death were substantially attenuated by a specific caspase-8 inhibitory peptide or by dominant negative Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD). This suggests, that Yersinia-induced apoptosis involves a proapoptotic signal relay through MyD88 and IRAK2, which potentially targets the Fas-associated death domain protein/caspase-8 apoptotic pathway, whereas IRAK1 and TRAF6 counteract the bacteria-induced cytotoxic response by signaling macrophage survival.
