TLR4 Mediates Vaccine-Induced Protective Cellular Immunity to Bordetella pertussis: Role of IL-17-Producing T Cells1

Whole cell pertussis vaccines (Pw) induce Th1 responses and protect against Bordetella pertussis infection, whereas pertussis acellular vaccines (Pa) induce Ab and Th2-biased responses and also protect against severe disease. In this study, we show that Pw failed to generate protective immunity in TLR4-defective C3H/HeJ mice. In contrast, protection induced with Pa was compromised, but not completely abrogated, in C3H/HeJ mice. Immunization with Pw, but not Pa, induced a population of IL-17-producing T cells (Th-17), as well as Th1 cells. Ag-specific IL-17 and IFN-{gamma} production was significantly lower in Pw-immunized TLR4-defective mice. Furthermore, treatment with neutralizing anti-IL-17 Ab immediately before and after B. pertussis challenge significantly reduced the protective efficacy of Pw. Stimulation of dendritic cells (DC) with Pw promoted IL-23, IL-12, IL-1beta, and TNF-{alpha} production, which was impaired in DC from TLR4-defective mice. B. pertussis LPS, which is present in high concentrations in Pw, induced IL-23 production by DC, which enhanced IL-17 secretion by T cells, but the induction of Th-17 cells was also dependent on IL-1. In addition, we identified a new effector function for IL-17, activating macrophage killing of B. pertussis, and this bactericidal activity was less efficient in macrophages from TLR4-defective mice. These data provide the first definitive evidence of a role for TLRs in protective immunity induced by a human vaccine. Our findings also demonstrate that activation of innate immune cells through TLR4 helps to direct the induction of Th1 and Th-17 cells, which mediate protective cellular immunity to B. pertussis.
