The elucidation of the molecular and immunological mechanisms mediating maintenance of latency in human tuberculosis aids to develop more effective vaccines and to define biologically meaningful markers for immune protection. We analyzed granuloma-associated lymphocytes (GALs) from human lung biopsies of five patients with latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. MTB CD4+ and CD8+ T cell response was highly focused in the lung, distinct from PBL, as assessed by TCR-CDR3 spectratyping coupled with a quantitative analysis of TCR VB frequencies. GALs produced IFN-gamma in response to autologous macrophages infected with MTB and to defined MTB-derived HLA-A2-presented peptides Ag85a242-250, Ag85b199-207, early secreted antigenic target 6 (ESAT-6)28-36, 19-kDa Ag88-97, or the HLA-DR-presented ESAT-6(1-20) epitope. Immune recognition of naturally processed and presented MTB epitopes or the peptide ESAT-6(1-20) could be linked to specific TCR VB families, and in two patients to unique T cell clones that constituted 19 and 27%, respectively, of the CD4+ and 17% of the CD8+ GAL population. In situ examination of MTB-reactive GALs by tetramer in situ staining and confocal laser-scanning microscopy consolidates the presence of MHC class I-restricted CD8+ T cells in MTB granuloma lesions and supports the notion that clonally expanded T cells are crucial in immune surveillance against MTB.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of the nucleic acid amplification (NAA) technique for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex from archival fine needle aspirate (FNA) smear scrapings of confirmed cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) for a retrospective diagnosis of EPTB as compared to NAA from fresh FNA material from the same cases. STUDY DESIGN: Smear scrapings from 51 cases; 33 cases of tuberculous lymphadenitis (from patients who had undergone NAA 1 year before for MTB from fresh FNA material); 13 negative controls from nontuberculous, archival FNA smears; and 5 known acid-fast bacilli (AFB)-positive sputum smears, were subjected to NAA using the IS6110 primer sequence of M tuberculosis. Ziehl-Neelsen staining was done in all the smears. RESULTS: Of the 33 cases of tuberculous lymphadenitis, 15 (45.4%) were AFB positive and 18 (64.5%) AFB negative. MTB NAA was positive in 73.3% (11 of 15 AFB-positive cases) in the freshly aspirated material and was observed in 60% (9 of 15 AFB-positive cases) when done on DNA extracted from the archival smear scrapings of the same cases. Similarly, in the 18 AFB-negative cases, MTB NAA positivity was 72.2% (13 of 18) on fresh material and 44.4% (8 of 18) on archival smear scrapings from the same AFB-negative cases. Overall NAA positivity was 51.5% for archival smear scrapings as compared to 71% for fresh FNA of the same cases. CONCLUSION: Low NAA sensitivity of MTB DNA in archival material of known tuberculous cases limits the routine use of NAA based retrospective molecular diagnosis of MTB complex.  相似文献

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) shows different virulence and host infection range from other members of the M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Differential identification of MTB from MTBC is thus important in certain occasions. The currently commercially available molecular assays which use either IS6110 or 16S rDNA fragment as identification targets are mainly designed for identifying MTBC but not for MTB. Comparative genomic DNA analysis has provided valuable information on regions of difference (RD) present in MTB but not in other members of the MTBC. RD9 region is further suggested to be a potential target for differential identification of MTB from MTBC. In this study, using IS6110 and Rv3618 (belong to RD9) as the specific identification targets for MTBC and MTB, respectively, we developed and tested a multiplex nested PCR-ICT (immuno-chromatography test) assay for simultaneously and directly detecting not only MTBC but also MTB from 1500 clinical sputum specimens. The results were compared with traditional culture and biochemical identification results together with patients' clinical assessments. This assay showed a 95.5% sensitivity, 97.9% specificity, 2.1% false positive rate and 4.5% false negative rate towards detection of MTBC, and a 93.0% sensitivity, 99.8% specificity, 0.2% false positive rate and 7.0% false negative rate for detection of MTB. This detection system shows great potential in clinical application.  相似文献

Vertebral lesions have been the main evidence for infection by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) in paleopathology. Skeletal involvement is expected in a small percentage of infected individuals. Recently, several authors report a correlation between rib lesions and tuberculosis (TB) complex infection. This study tests the hypothesis that rib lesions can serve as a useful marker for MTC infection within the Mississippian Schild skeletal collection from West-Central Illinois. Ribs from 221 adults and juveniles were examined, and affected individuals were tested for TB complex infection. DNA from rib samples of affected individuals was amplified with primers targeting the IS6110 insertion element, which is common to all members of the TB complex. Although it cannot allow discrimination between different species of TB, IS6110 is present in many copies within their genomes, and its presence is thus an indication of MTC infection. The results support the use of rib lesions as a marker for TB infection. Additionally, we demonstrate that MTC DNA can be recovered from ribs that lack lesions in individuals who have lesions of other bones. We recommend that an examination of ribs be incorporated into investigations for TB.  相似文献

Heat shock proteins assist the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) but also provide a signal to the immune response. The gene most strongly induced by heat shock in MTB is Rv0251c, which encodes Acr2, a novel member of the alpha-crystallin family of molecular chaperones. The expression of acr2 increased within 1 h after infection of monocytes or macrophages, reaching a peak of 18- to 55-fold by 24 h. Inhibition of superoxide action reduced the intracellular increase in acr2. Despite this contribution to the stress response of MTB, the gene for acr2 appears dispensable; a deletion mutant (Deltaacr2) was unimpaired in log phase growth and persisted in IFN-gamma-activated human macrophages. Acr2 protein was strongly recognized by cattle with early primary Mycobacterium bovis infection and by healthy MTB-sensitized people. Within the latter group, those with recent exposure to infectious tuberculosis had, on average, 2.6 times the frequency of Acr2-specific IFN-gamma-secreting T cells than those with more remote exposure (p = 0.009). These data show that, by its up-regulation early after entry to cells, Acr2 gives away the presence of MTB to the immune response. The demonstration that there is infection stage-specific immunity to tuberculosis has implications for vaccine design.  相似文献

Clarifying how an initial protective immune response to tuberculosis may later loose its efficacy is essential to understand tuberculosis pathology and to develop novel vaccines. In mice, a primary vaccination with Ag85B-encoding plasmid DNA (DNA-85B) was protective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection and associated with Ag85B-specific CD4+ T cells producing IFN-gamma and controlling intramacrophagic MTB growth. Surprisingly, this protection was eliminated by Ag85B protein boosting. Loss of protection was associated with a overwhelming CD4+ T cell proliferation and IFN-gamma production in response to Ag85B protein, despite restraint of Th1 response by CD8+ T cell-dependent mechanisms and activation of CD4+ T cell-dependent IL-10 secretion. Importantly, these Ag85B-responding CD4+ T cells lost the ability to produce IFN-gamma and control MTB intramacrophagic growth in coculture with MTB-infected macrophages, suggesting that the protein-dependent expansion of non-protective CD4+ T cells determined dilution or loss of the protective Ag85B-specific CD4+ induced by DNA-85B vaccination. These data emphasize the need of exerting some caution in adopting aggressive DNA-priming, protein-booster schedules for MTB vaccines. They also suggest that Ag85B protein secreted during MTB infection could be involved in the instability of protective anti-tuberculosis immune response, and actually concur to disease progression.  相似文献

Tuberculosis is one of the main infectious diseases threatening public health, and the development of simple, rapid, and cost‐saving methods for tuberculosis diagnosis is of profound importance for tuberculosis prevention and treatment. The bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is the pathogen that causes tuberculosis, and assaying for MTB is the only criterion for tuberculosis diagnosis. A new enzyme‐free method based on strand displacement amplification and magnetic beads was developed for simple, rapid, and cost‐saving MTB detection. Under optimum conditions, a good linear relationship could be observed between fluorescence and MTB specific DNA concentration ranging from 0.05 to 150 nM with a correlation coefficient of 0.993 (n = 8) and a detection limit of 47 pM (3σ/K). The present method also distinguished a one base mismatch from MTB specific DNA, showing great promise for MTB genome single base polymorphism analysis. MTB specific DNA content in polymerase chain reaction samples was successfully detected using the new method, and recoveries were 97.8–100.8%, indicating that the present method had high accuracy and shows good potential for the early diagnosis of tuberculosis.  相似文献

Infection of C57BL/6 mice with Mycobacterium tuberculosis results in the development of a progressive disease during the first 2 wk after challenge. Thereafter, the disease is controlled by the emergence of protective T cells. We have used this infection model in conjunction with direct T cell expression cloning to identify Ags involved with the early control of the disease. A protective M. tuberculosis-specific CD4 T cell line derived from mice at 3 wk postchallenge was used to directly screen an M. tuberculosis genomic expression library. This screen resulted in the identification of a genomic clone comprising two putative adjacent genes with predicted open reading frames of 10 and 41 kDa, MTB10 and MTB41, respectively (the products of Rv0916c and Rv0915c, respectively, in the TubercuList H37Rv database). MTB10 and MTB41 belong to the PE and PPE family of proteins recently identified to comprise 10% of the M. tuberculosis genome. Evaluation of the recombinant proteins revealed that MTB41, but not MTB10, is the Ag recognized by the cell line and by M. tuberculosis-sensitized human PBMC. Moreover, C57BL/6 mice immunized with MTB41 DNA developed both CD4- (predominantly Th1) and CD8-specific T cell responses to rMTB41 protein. More importantly, immunization of C57BL/6 mice with MTB41 DNA induced protection against infection with M. tuberculosis comparable to that induced by bacillus Calmette-Guérin. Thus, the use of a proven protective T cell line in conjunction with the T cell expression cloning approach resulted in the identification of a candidate Ag for a subunit vaccine against tuberculosis.  相似文献

Background

Til date, none of the diagnostic techniques available for the detection of female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) are 100% accurate. We therefore, proposed to use the endometrial tissue biopsies (ETBs), ovarian tissue biopsies (OTBs) and pelvic aspirated fluids (PAFs) for the diagnosis of FGTB among infertile women by conventional versus molecular methods.

Methodology/Principal Findings

A total of 302 specimens were collected both from 202 infertile women highly suspected of having FGTB on laparoscopy examination and 100 control women of reproductive age. Out of 302 specimens, 150 (49.67%) were ETBs, 95 (31.46%) were OTBs and 57 (18.87%) were PAFs. All specimens were tested by conventional techniques, later compared with multi-gene PCR for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and correlated with laparoscopic findings. The presence of MTB DNA was observed in 49.5% of ETBs, 33.17% of OTBs and 5.44% of PAF specimens collected from highly suspected FGTB patients. All women of control group were confirmed as negative for tuberculosis. The conventional methods showed 99% to 100% specificity with a low sensitivity, ranging from 21.78% to 42.08% while hematoxylin and eosin staining showed a sensitivity of 51.48%. Multi-gene PCR was found to have much higher sensitivity of 70.29% with MTB64 gene, 86.63% with 19 kDa antigen gene at species and TRC4 element at regional MTB complex and 88.12% with 32 kDa protein gene at genus level. The specificity of multi-gene PCR was 100%. Compared with culturing and Ziehl-Neelsen''s staining, multi-gene PCR demonstrated improvement in the detection of FGTB (χ2 = 214.612, 1 df, McNemar''s test value <0.0001).

Conclusions Significance

We suggest site specific sampling, irrespective of sample type and amplification of the 19 kDa antigen gene in combination with TRC4 element as a successful multi-gene PCR for the diagnosis of FGTB and differentiation of mycobacterial infection among endo-ovarian tissue biopsies and PAFs taken from infertile women.  相似文献

Background

Serum antibody-based target identification has been used to identify tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) for development of anti-cancer vaccines. A similar approach can be helpful to identify biologically relevant and clinically meaningful targets in M.tuberculosis (MTB) infection for diagnosis or TB vaccine development in clinically well defined populations.

Method

We constructed a high-content peptide microarray with 61 M.tuberculosis proteins as linear 15 aa peptide stretches with 12 aa overlaps resulting in 7446 individual peptide epitopes. Antibody profiling was carried with serum from 34 individuals with active pulmonary TB and 35 healthy individuals in order to obtain an unbiased view of the MTB epitope pattern recognition pattern. Quality data extraction was performed, data sets were analyzed for significant differences and patterns predictive of TB+/−.

Findings

Three distinct patterns of IgG reactivity were identified: 89/7446 peptides were differentially recognized (in 34/34 TB+ patients and in 35/35 healthy individuals) and are highly predictive of the division into TB+ and TB−, other targets were exclusively recognized in all patients with TB (e.g. sigmaF) but not in any of the healthy individuals, and a third peptide set was recognized exclusively in healthy individuals (35/35) but no in TB+ patients. The segregation between TB+ and TB− does not cluster into specific recognition of distinct MTB proteins, but into specific peptide epitope ‘hotspots’ at different locations within the same protein. Antigen recognition pattern profiles in serum from TB+ patients from Armenia vs. patients recruited in Sweden showed that IgG-defined MTB epitopes are very similar in individuals with different genetic background.

Conclusions

A uniform target MTB IgG-epitope recognition pattern exists in pulmonary tuberculosis. Unbiased, high-content peptide microarray chip-based testing of clinically well-defined populations allows to visualize biologically relevant targets useful for development of novel TB diagnostics and vaccines.  相似文献

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) signal through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to activate immune responses, but prolonged exposure to PAMPs from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and other pathogens inhibits class II MHC (MHC-II) expression and Ag processing, which may allow MTB to evade CD4(+) T cell immunity. Alternate class I MHC (MHC-I) processing allows macrophages to present Ags from MTB and other bacteria to CD8(+) T cells, but the effect of PAMPs on this processing pathway is unknown. In our studies, MTB and TLR-signaling PAMPs, MTB 19-kDa lipoprotein, CpG DNA, and LPS, inhibited alternate MHC-I processing of latex-conjugated Ag by IFN-gamma-activated macrophages. Inhibition was dependent on TLR-2 for MTB 19-kDa lipoprotein (but not whole MTB or the other PAMPs); inhibition was dependent on myeloid differentiation factor 88 for MTB and all of the individual PAMPs. Inhibition of MHC-II and alternate MHC-I processing was delayed, appearing after 16 h of PAMP exposure, as would occur in chronically infected macrophages. Despite inhibition of alternate MHC-I Ag processing, there was no inhibition of MHC-I expression, MHC-I-restricted presentation of exogenous peptide or conventional MHC-I processing of cytosolic Ag. MTB 19-kDa lipoprotein and other PAMPs inhibited phagosome maturation and phagosome Ag degradation in a myeloid differentiation factor 88-dependent manner; this may limit availability of peptides to bind MHC-I. By inhibiting both MHC-II and alternate MHC-I Ag processing, pathogens that establish prolonged infection of macrophages (>16 h), e.g., MTB, may immunologically silence macrophages and evade surveillance by both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, promoting chronic infection.  相似文献

This investigation aimed at the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the sputum of Suruí Indian subjects from Amazonia, Brazil. Polymerase chain reaction analyses were positive for 12 samples, five of which were also culture-positive (N = 147). Four MTB genotypes were identified, one of which showed resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid. The study also highlighted one village complex as of particular importance, considering the relatively high number of tuberculosis cases reported and of MTB isolates obtained.  相似文献

The detection of anti-cord factor (trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate) IgG antibody in active (smear-and/or culture-positive) and inactive (smear-and culture-negative) tuberculosis patients is a useful serodiagnostic tool that can be used for early clinical diagnosis of the disease. We estimated the titers of anticord factor IgG antibody in the sera of tuberculosis patients, and compared them with those of Mycobacterium avium-infected patients. Most of the serum samples obtained from the tuberculosis patients were highly reactive against M. tuberculosis (MTB) cord factor isolated from M. tuberculosis H37Rv, a human-type mycobacterial strain, whereas they were less reactive against M. avium (MAC) cord factor. Similarly, most of the serum samples of the MAC-infected patients were highly reactive against MAC cord factor and less reactive against MTB cord factor. These results suggest that anti-cord factor IgG antibody recognizes the mycolic acid subclasses as an epitope which comprises cord factor, since MTB and MAC cord factor differ in mycolic acid subclasses and molecular species composition. To clarify the exact antigenic epitope in cord factor and to find out a more sensitive and specific diagnostic test antigen, we examined the reactivity of patients' sera to glycolipids containing trehalose (cord factor and sulfolipid) obtained from various mycobacterial species. Furthermore, the reactivity of human antisera to various mycolic acid subclasses (alpha-, methoxy and keto mycolic acids) of MTB cord factor was compared. We found that anti-cord factor IgG antibody in the sera of human tuberculosis patients most strikingly recognized methoxy mycolic acid in the cord factor of M. tuberculosis, whereas it recognized alpha- and keto mycolic acids weakly. Pre-absorption studies of antibody with MTB cord factor or methoxy mycolic acid methyl ester showed that anti-cord factor antibody was absorbed partially, but consistently. This is the first report describing that the specific subclass of mycolic acid from mycobacteria is antigenic in the humoral immune system of human tuberculosis infection.  相似文献

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of three major infectious diseases, and the control of TB is becoming more difficult because of the emergence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant strains. In this study, we explored the (1)H NMR-based metabolomics of TB using an aerobic TB infection model. Global profiling was applied to characterize the responses of C57Bl/6 mice to an aerobic infection with virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The metabolic changes in organs (i.e., the lung, the target organ of TB, and the spleen and liver, remote systemic organs) and in serum from control and MTB-infected rats were investigated to clarify the host-pathogen interactions in MTB-infected host systems. Principal components analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) score plots showed distinct separation between control and MTB-infected rats for all tissue and serum samples. Several tissue and serum metabolites were changed in MTB-infected rats, as compared to control rats. The precursors of membrane phospholipids, phosphocholine, and phosphoethanolamine, as well as glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and the antioxidative stress response were altered based on the presence of MTB infection. This study suggests that NMR-based global metabolite profiling of organ tissues and serum could provide insight into the metabolic changes in host infected aerobically with virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  相似文献
