Relative levels of M-CSF and GM-CSF influence the specific generation of macrophage populations during infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Members of the CSF cytokine family play important roles in macrophage recruitment and activation. However, the role of M-CSF in pulmonary infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not clear. In this study, we show the lungs of mice infected with M. tuberculosis displayed a progressive decrease in M-CSF in contrast to increasing levels of GM-CSF. Restoring pulmonary M-CSF levels during infect...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Latent Tuberculosis Infection and Smear Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis in People with Household Close Contact with Tuberculosis in North of Iran
One of the recommended strategies for preventing tuberculosis is to screen high-risk populations with respect to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection. The aim of the present study was to investigate latent infection and active tuberculosis in people with close household contact. It was a cross-sectional descriptive, analytical study with the sample size of 668 people from homes with one in...
متن کاملA model to predict cell-mediated immune regulatory mechanisms during human infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A key issue for the study of tuberculosis infection (TB) is to understand why individuals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis experience different clinical outcomes. Elaborating the immune mechanisms that determine whether an infected individual will suffer active TB or latent infection can aid in developing treatment and prevention strategies. To better understand the dynamics of M. tuber...
متن کاملSTAT3 as a Key Factor in Tumor Microenvironment and Cancer Stem Cell
Background Recent studies revealed that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a decisive role in the regulation of tumor progression by manipulating tumor oncogenesis, angiogenesis and immune functions within tumor microenvironments. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which is a point of convergence for numerous oncogenic signalling pathways, is constitutively activ...
متن کاملNew issues in tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis remains a major health problem worldwide. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis whose preferred habitat is the host macrophage. The immune response against tuberculosis is mediated by different subsets of T cells including both conventional CD4 and CD8 T cells as well as unconventional CD1 restricted and gammadelta T cells. The CD1 restricted T cells are particularly ...
