The role of cytokines in the initiation, expansion, and control of cellular immunity to tuberculosis

Abstract

Summary: Tuberculosis (TB) results from an interaction between a potent immune response and a chronically persistent pathogen. The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to induce a strong immune response while being able to resist the ability of the host to clear bacteria provides an excellent tool with which to investigate the role of specific cytokine pathways on the induction, expansion, and control of the effector T‐cell response. In this review, the role of interleukin‐12p40 (IL‐12p40), IL‐12p70, IL‐23, and IL‐27 in the immune response to Mtb are described. We show that IL‐12(p40)2 acts to mediate the activation of dendritic cells to become responsive to homeostatic chemokines. We also show that IL‐12p70 is required for the optimal interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) T‐cell response, which is required for control of Mtb growth. IL‐23 can induce IFN‐γ responses in the lung if IL‐12 is not present, but its major role is in supporting the IL‐17 response within the lung. Neither IL‐23 nor IL‐17 is required for early control of Mtb in the lung. IL‐23 and IL‐17, however, can be instrumental in vaccine‐induced protection. Finally, IL‐27 limits protective immunity in the lung, but it is also required for long‐term survival. These cytokines are therefore key players in the immune response to TB.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
