Nitazoxanide Stimulates Autophagy and Inhibits mTORC1 Signaling and Intracellular Proliferation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world today. M. tuberculosis hijacks the phagosome-lysosome trafficking pathway to escape clearance from infected macrophages. There is increasing evidence that manipulation of autophagy, a regulated catabolic trafficking pathway, can enhance killing of M. tuberculosis. Therefore, ph...
متن کاملEfficacy of nitazoxanide against clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Nitazoxanide (NTZ) has bactericidal activity against the H37Rv laboratory strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a MIC of 16 μg/ml. However, its efficacy against clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis has not been determined. We found that NTZ's MIC against 50 clinical isolates ranged from 12 to 28 μg/ml with a median of 16 μg/ml and was unaffected by resistance to first- or second-line antitu...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Intracellular Screen for New Compounds Able To Inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis Growth in Human Macrophages.
Here we describe the development and validation of an intracellular high-throughput screening assay for finding new antituberculosis compounds active in human macrophages. The assay consists of a luciferase-based primary identification assay, followed by a green fluorescent protein-based secondary profiling assay. Standard tuberculosis drugs and 158 previously recognized active antimycobacteria...
متن کاملT helper 2 cytokines inhibit autophagic control of intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Autophagy is a recently recognized immune effector mechanism against intracellular pathogens. The role of autophagy in innate immunity has been well established, but the extent of its regulation by the adaptive immune response is less well understood. The T helper 1 (Th1) cell cytokine IFN-gamma induces autophagy in macrophages to eliminate Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we report that Th2 c...
