c-Abl-TWIST1 Epigenetically Dysregulate Inflammatory Responses during Mycobacterial Infection by Co-Regulating Bone Morphogenesis Protein and miR27a
Mycobacteria propelled modulation of host responses is of considerable interest in the face of emerging drug resistance. Although it is known that Abl tyrosine kinases affect entry and persistence of mycobacteria, mechanisms that couple c-Abl to proximal signaling pathways during immunity are poorly understood. Loss-of-function of c-Abl through Imatinib, in a mouse model of tuberculosis or RNA ...
متن کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis and dendritic cells: recognition, activation and functional implications.
The highly complex nature of interactions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with cells of the immune system has puzzled researchers the world-over in understanding the pathogenesis and immunology associated with tuberculosis (TB). This has contributed to the delay in development of effective vaccine(s) for TB. Several excellent studies have provided only a glimpse of the kind and degree of immune r...
متن کاملOriginal Mycobacterial Sin, a consequence of highly homologous antigens?
The role of antigens shared between Mycobacteria in in-vivo cross-reactive immune responses in host animals, have been reported to be responsible for reduced BCG vaccination efficacy as well reduced specificity of routine immunological diagnostic tests. This presents with significant disease control challenges in humans and animals. The present review highlights the results of previous studies ...
متن کاملInhibition of phagosome maturation by mycobacteria does not interfere with presentation of mycobacterial antigens by MHC molecules.
Pathogenic mycobacteria escape host innate immune responses by surviving within phagosomes of host macrophages and blocking their delivery to lysosomes. Avoiding lysosomal delivery may also be involved in the capacity of living mycobacteria to modulate MHC class I- or II-dependent T cell responses, which may contribute to their pathogenicity in vivo. In this study, we show that the presentation...
متن کاملTB: Screening for Responses to a Vile Visitor
Mycobacteria, the pathogens that cause tuberculosis and leprosy, establish long-term infections in host macrophages. Recent studies, including two genetic screens reported in this issue of Cell (Kumar et al., 2010; Tobin et al., 2010), reveal that virulent mycobacteria evade the host immune system by stimulating production of anti-inflammatory molecules and inhibiting autophagy.
