Abstract
Mycobacteriosis, mostly resulting from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb), nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), and Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae), is the long-standing granulomatous disease that ravages several organs including skin, lung, and peripheral nerves, and it has a spectrum of clinical-pathologic features based on the interaction of bacilli and host immune response. Histiocytes in infectious granulomas mainly consist of infected and uninfected macrophages (Mφs), multinucleated giant cells (MGCs), epithelioid cells (ECs), and foam cells (FCs), which are commonly discovered in lesions in patients with mycobacteriosis. Granuloma Mφ polarization or reprogramming is the crucial appearance of the host immune response to pathogen aggression, which gets a command of endocellular microbe persistence. Herein, we recapitulate the current gaps and challenges during Mφ polarization and the different subpopulations of mycobacteriosis.

The Significance of Differences in Melanocortin 3 Levels and their Relationship with Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Body Mass Index. Open Access Maced J Med Sci 2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Melanocortin 3 Receptors (MC3R) levels plays a role in many biological systems, including energy homeostasis and regulation of fat metabolism. However, very few have researched the relationship between MC3R and tuberculosis (TB) and body mass index.
AIM: This study explores the differences in serum MC3R levels in active TB, household contacts, and control groups, as well as at different body mass index status. This study tries to find out the relationship between MC3R and other variables.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Blood samples were taken from 53 active TB patients, 49 household contacts, and 30 healthy people as controls. The 132 samples were subjected to IGRA and ELISA examinations to determine differences in MC3R levels in all groups.
RESULTS: The highest mean of MC3R levels were found in the active TB group at 1.259.55 (p = 0.028) and had a positive correlation with a value of p = 0.008. In the sex group, men had the highest levels (p = 0.551). In the 30–49 year age group, the median value increased significantly in the three groups (p = 0.028), and there was a correlation between MC3R and the 17–29 year age group, although the correlation was negative (p = 0.021), in the 30–49 year age group with a positive correlation (p = 0.050). The mean MC3R value increased significantly in the overweight group in the three groups (p = 0.006) but did not significantly correlate.
CONCLUSION: The high level of MC3R in TB patients is related to its role as a defence against microbes that enter the body through the immune process to prevent further infection and inflammation. Meanwhile, high levels of MC3R in excess Body mass index were associated with the function of MC3R as an inhibitor of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons to release α-MSH.

Nitric Oxide-Dependent Electron Transport Chain Inhibition by the Cytochrome bc1 Inhibitor and Pretomanid Combination Kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2021; 65:e0095621.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of human tuberculosis, harbors a branched electron transport chain, preventing the bactericidal action of cytochrome bc1 inhibitors (e.g., TB47). Here, we investigated, using luminescent mycobacterial strains, the in vitro combination activity of cytochrome bc1 inhibitors and nitric oxide (NO) donors including pretomanid (PMD) and explored the mechanisms of combination activity. The TB47 and PMD combination quickly abolished the light emission of luminescent bacilli, as was the case for the combination of TB47 and aurachin D, a putative cytochrome bd inhibitor. The TB47 and PMD combination inhibited M. tuberculosis oxygen consumption, decreased ATP levels, and had a delayed bactericidal effect. The NO scavenger carboxy-PTIO prevented the bactericidal activity of the drug combination, suggesting the requirement for NO. In addition, cytochrome bc1 inhibitors were largely bactericidal when administered with DETA NONOate, another NO donor. Proteomic analysis revealed that the cotreated bacilli had a compromised expression of the dormancy regulon proteins, PE/PPE proteins, and proteins required for the biosynthesis of several cofactors, including mycofactocin. Some of these proteomic changes, e.g., the impaired dormancy regulon induction, were attributed to PMD. In conclusion, combination of cytochrome bc1 inhibitors with PMD inhibited M. tuberculosis respiration and killed the bacilli. The activity of cytochrome bc1 inhibitors can be greatly enhanced by NO donors. Monitoring of luminescence may be further exploited to screen cytochrome bd inhibitors.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for the development of tuberculosis (TB) through mechanisms poorly understood. Monocytes and macrophages are key effector cells to control TB, but they are also subverted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Specifically, Mtb can induce a bystander effect that skews monocyte differentiation towards macrophages with a permissive phenotype to infection. Here, we evaluated whether T2DM impacts this TB aspect. Our approach was to differentiate monocytes from healthy control (HC) subjects and T2DM patients into macrophages (MDM), and then assess their response to Mtb infection, including their secretome content and bystander effect capacity. Through flow cytometry analyses, we found a lower level of activation markers in MDM from T2DM patients in comparison to those from HC in response to mock (HLA-DR, CD86, and CD163) or Mtb challenge (CD14 and CD80). In spite of high TGF-β1 levels in mock-infected MDM from T2DM patients, cytometric bead arrays indicated there were no major differences in the secretome cytokine content in these cells relative to HC-MDM, even in response to Mtb. Mimicking a bystander effect, the secretome of Mtb-infected HC-MDM drove HC monocytes towards MDM with a permissive phenotype for Mtb intracellular growth. However, the secretome from Mtb-infected T2DM-MDM did not exacerbate the Mtb load compared to cmMTB-HC, possibly due to the high IL-1β production relative to Mtb-infected HC-MDM. Collectively, despite T2DM affecting the basal MDM activation, our approach revealed it has no major consequence on their response to Mtb or capacity to generate a bystander effect influencing monocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is characterized by inflammatory pathology and poorly understood mechanisms of innate immunity. Pattern recognition receptors, expressed on the surface of macrophages, determine the balance of inflammatory and antimicrobial functions that influence disease outcome. Carbohydrate moieties displayed by mycobacteria can serve as pattern recognition receptor ligands for some members of the C-type lectin receptor (CLR) family, interactions that mediate a variety of incompletely understood immune outcomes. This work identifies a novel role for the CLR macrophage galactose-type lectin (MGL)-1 in a mouse model (C57BL/6 and MGL-1-/-) of experimental TB. Murine macrophages upregulated MGL-1 following in vitro exposure to M. tuberculosis, whereas MGL+ cells accumulated at sites of mycobacteria-driven inflammation in the lung. Pulmonary macrophages from MGL-1-deficient mice displayed increased production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and IFN-γ) that were associated with greater lipid accumulation, following M. tuberculosis infection. Surprisingly, for a CLR, we also observed MGL-1-dependent antimycobacterial activity as evidenced by greater M. tuberculosis proliferation in bone marrow-derived macrophages, and the lung, of MGL-1-deficient mice. Differential transcriptome analysis further revealed that loss of MGL-1 perturbs the activation of various genes involved in the regulation of inflammation and lipid metabolism in the setting of M. tuberculosis infection. These results identify MGL-1 signaling as an important mechanism that regulates innate immunity against M. tuberculosis and indicates the potential for the MGL pathway as a novel therapeutic target for anti-TB immunity.

Abstract
Background To verify the differential expression of miR‐30c and miR‐142‐3p between tuberculosis patients and healthy controls and to investigate the performance of microRNA (miRNA) and subsequently models for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Methods We followed up 460 subjects suspected of TB, and finally enrolled 132 patients, including 60 TB patients, 24 non‐TB disease controls (TB‐DCs), and 48 healthy controls (HCs). The differential expression of miR‐30c and miR‐142‐3p in serum samples of the TB patients, TB‐DCs, and HCs were identified by reverse transcription–quantitative real‐time PCR. Diagnostic models were developed by analyzing the characteristics of miRNA and electronic health records (EHRs). These models evaluated by the area under the curves (AUC) and calibration curves were presented as nomograms. Results There were differential expression of miR‐30c and miR‐142‐3p between TB patients and HCs (p < 0.05). Individual miRNA has a limited diagnostic value for TB. However, diagnostic performance has been both significantly improved when we integrated miR‐142‐3p and ordinary EHRs to develop two models for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. The AUC of the model for distinguishing tuberculosis patients from healthy controls has increased from 0.75 (95% CI: 0.66–0.84) to 0.96 (95% CI: 0.92–0.99) and the model for distinguishing tuberculosis patients from non‐TB disease controls has increased from 0.67 (95% CI: 0.55–0.79) to 0.94 (95% CI: 0.89–0.99). Conclusions Integrating serum miR‐142‐3p and EHRs is a good strategy for improving TB diagnosis.

Abstract
Macrophages are large phagocytic cells that can be classified as a type of white blood cell and may be either mobile or stationary in tissues. The presence of macrophages in essentially every major disease makes them attractive candidates to serve as therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers. Macrophages that are found in the microenvironment of solid tumors are referred to as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and have been shown to influence chemoresistance, immune regulation, tumor initiation and tumor growth. The imaging of TAMs through Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has the potential to provide valuable information on cancer biology, tumor progression, and response to therapy. This review will highlight the versatility of macrophage imaging in cancer through the use of PET.

Abstract
We investigated the preclinical efficacy and safety/tolerability of biodegradable polymeric particles containing isoniazid (INH) and rifabutin (RFB) dry powder for inhalation (DPI) as an adjunct to oral first-line therapy. Mice and guinea pigs infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb) were treated with ∼80 and ∼300 μg of the DPI, respectively, for 3-4 weeks starting 3, 10, and 30 days post-infection. Adjunct combination therapy eliminated culturable Mtb from the lungs and spleens of all but one of 52 animals that received the DPI. Relapse-free cure was not achieved in one mouse that received DPI + oral, human-equivalent doses (HED) of four drugs used in the Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course (DOTS), starting 30 days post-infection. Oral doses (20 mg/Kg/day, each) of INH + RFB reduced Mtb burden from ∼106 to ∼103 colony-forming units. Combining half the oral dose with DPI prevented relapse of infection four weeks after stopping the treatment. The DPI was safe in rodents, guinea pigs, and monkeys at 1, 10, and 100 μg/day doses over 90 days. In conclusion, we show the efficacy and safety/tolerability of the DPI as an adjunct to oral chemotherapy in three different animal models of TB.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) causes chronic granulomatous lung disease in humans. Recently, novel strategies such as host-directed therapeutics and adjunctive therapies that enhance the effect of existing antibiotics have emerged to better control Mtb infection. Recent advances in understanding the metabolic interplay between host immune cells and pathogens have provided new insights into how their interactions ultimately influence disease outcomes and antibiotic-treatment efficacy. In this review, we describe how metabolic cascades in immune environments and relevant metabolites produced from immune cells during Mtb infection play critical roles in the progression of diseases and induction of anti-Mtb protective immunity. In addition, we introduce how metabolic alterations in Mtb itself can lead to the development of persister cells that are resistant to host immunity and can eventually evade antibiotic attacks. Further understanding of the metabolic link between host cells and Mtb may contribute to not only the prevention of Mtb persister development but also the optimization of host anti-Mtb immunity together with enhanced efficacy of existing antibiotics. Overall, this review highlights novel approaches to improve and develop host-mediated therapeutic strategies against Mtb infection by restoring and switching pathogen-favoring metabolic conditions with host-favoring conditions.

Abstract
FTY720 is a treatment for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). It is an analog of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and targets S1P receptors 1, 3, 4, and 5. Recent reports indicate an association between long-term exposure to FTY720 and cases of cryptococcal infection. Here, we studied the effect of FTY720 and its derivative, BAF312, which only target S1P receptors 1 and 5, in a mouse model of cryptococcal infection. We found that treatment with FTY720, but not with BAF312, led to decreased survival and increased organ burden in mouse cryptococcal granulomas. Both FTY720 and BAF312 caused a profound CD4+ and CD8+ T cell depletion in blood and lungs but only treatment with FTY720 led to cryptococcal reactivation. Treatment with FTY720, but not with BAF312, was associated with disorganization of macrophages and with M2 polarization at the granuloma site. In a cell system, FTY720 decreased phagocytosis and production of reactive oxygen species by macrophages, a phenotype recapitulated in the S1pr3-/- knockout macrophages. Our results suggest that FTY720 reactivates cryptococcosis from the granuloma through a S1P receptor 3-mediated mechanism and support the rationale for development of more-specific receptor modulators for therapeutic use of MS.

METHODS Four specific single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting gsdmd were designed to construct pGL3-sgRNA recombinant plasmids, which were identified by PCR amplification and sequencing.Cas9 and the recombinant plasmids were transfected into RAW 264.7 cells in two steps, and the cellular expression of cas9 was detected with real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR).The positive cell clones with gsdmd gene knockout were screened using puromycin and verified by sequencing and Western blotting.Annexin Ⅴ/PI staining and LDH release assay were performed in gsdmd-/-RAW 264.7 cells after being co-cultured with Salmonella Typhimurium. RESULTS qPCR results showed that cas9 gene was stably expressed in RAW 264.7-Cas9 cells (P< 0.01).PCR and sequencing results demonstrated successful construction of the recombinant plasmid pGL3-sgRNA. The results of PCR, sequencing and Western blotting all confirmed that gsdmd -/-RAW 264.7 cells were successfully constructed. Annexin Ⅴ/PI staining and LDH release assay showed that gsdmd gene knockout significantly inhibited macrophage death caused by S.Typhimurium infection (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS gsdmd -/-RAW 264.7 cells provide a cell model for studying the mechanisms underlying GSDMD-mediated macrophage death.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and graphene oxide flakes (GOFs) exerted significantly (p < 0.0001) supportive roles on the phagocytosis bioactivity of the immune cells of phagocytic nature against the Gram-positive and Gram-negative human pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Under experimental conditions, upon bacterial exposure, the combined GNPs and GOFs induced significant clearance of bacteria through phagosome maturation (p < 0.0001) from time-points of 6 to 30 min and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS, p < 0.0001) through the NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2, p < 0.0001)-based feedback mechanism. The effects of the combined presence of GNPs and GOFs on phagocytosis (p < 0.0001) suggested a synergistic action underway, also achieved through elevated signal transduction activity in the bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM, p < 0.0001). The current study demonstrated that GNPs’ and GOFs’ bactericidal assisting potentials could be considered an effective and alternative strategy for treating infections from both positive and negative bacterial strains.

Abstract
Macrophages are a double-edged sword with potential cancer-promoting and anticancer effects. Controversy remains regarding the effect of macrophages, especially M1 macrophages, on tumor promotion and suppression. We aimed to investigate the role of M1 macrophages in the occurrence and progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Analyzing the data in Gene Expression Omnibus database by the CIBERSORT algorithm found that M1 macrophages were one of the important components of many immune cells in ESCCs, and the increase in their number was obviously negatively correlated with tumor T staging. This result was verified by our experimental data: the density of CD68/HLA-DR double-stained M1 macrophages in ESCC tumor nest and tumor stroma was significantly higher than that in cancer-adjacent normal (CAN) tissues. The density of M1 macrophages in ESCC tumor nest was negatively correlated with the patient's lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P < 0.05), and the negative tendency was more obvious for M1 macrophages in ESCC tumor stroma (P < 0.001). Exposure to M1 macrophage-conditioned medium inhibited ESCC cell migration and invasion ability significantly (P < 0.05). Moreover, the increased M1 macrophage density in ESCC tumor stroma correlated positively with good prognosis of ESCC. M1 macrophages were involved in inhibiting ESCC cell migration and invasion, which could serve as a good prognostic factor in patients with ESCC.

Abstract
For centuries, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was considered primarily as a poisonous gas and environmental hazard. However, with the discovery of prokaryotic and eukaryotic enzymes for H2S production, breakdown, and utilization, H2S has emerged as an important signaling molecule in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. Hence, H2S is considered a gasotransmitter along with nitric oxide (•NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Surprisingly, despite having overlapping functions with •NO and CO, the role of host H2S in microbial pathogenesis is understudied and represents a gap in our knowledge. Given the numerous reports that followed the discovery of •NO and CO and their respective roles in microbial pathogenesis, we anticipate a rapid increase in studies that further define the importance of H2S in microbial pathogenesis, which may lead to new virulence paradigms. Therefore, this review provides an overview of sulfide chemistry, enzymatic production of H2S, and the importance of H2S in metabolism and immunity in response to microbial pathogens. We then describe our current understanding of the role of host-derived H2S in tuberculosis (TB) disease, including its influences on host immunity and bioenergetics, and on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) growth and survival. Finally, this review discusses the utility of H2S-donor compounds, inhibitors of H2S-producing enzymes, and their potential clinical significance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to explore the role of M2a polarization and formyl peptide receptor (FPR) regulation in the reactivation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. METHODS M1/M2a monocyte percentage and FPR1/2/3 protein expression of blood immune cells were measured in 38 patients with sputum culture (+) active pulmonary TB disease, 18 subjects with latent TB infection (LTBI), and 28 noninfected healthy subjects (NIHS) using flow cytometry method. RESULTS M1 percentage was decreased in active TB versus either NIHS or LTBI group, while M2a percentage and M2a/M1 percentage ratio were increased. FPR1 expression on M1/M2a, FPR2 expression on M1, and FPR3 expression of M1 were all decreased in active TB versus LTBI group, while FPR1 over FPR2 expression ratio on NK T cell was increased in active TB versus either NIHS or LTBI group. In 11 patients with active TB disease, M1 percentage became normal again after anti-TB treatment. In vitro Mtb-specific antigen stimulation of monocytic THP-1 cells resulted in M2a polarization in association with increased FPR2 expression on M2a. CONCLUSIONS Increased M2a and decreased M1 phenotypes of blood monocyte may serve as a marker for active TB disease, while decreased FPR1 on blood monocyte may indicate LTBI status.

GM-CSF Dependent Differential Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in Human and Mouse Macrophages: Is Macrophage Source of GM-CSF Critical to Tuberculosis Immunity?

Abstract
Although classically associated with myelopoiesis, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is being increasingly recognized for its potential role in innate resistance against tuberculosis (TB). While the GM-CSF is produced by a variety of host cells, including conventional and non-conventional T cells, macrophages, alveolar epithelial cells, the cell population that promotes GM-CSF mediated innate protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection remains unclear. This is because studies related to the role of GM-CSF so far have been carried out in murine models of experimental TB, which is inherently susceptible to TB as compared to humans, who exhibit a resolution of infection in majority of cases. We found a significantly higher amount of GM-CSF production by human macrophages, compared to mouse macrophages, after infection with M. tuberculosis in vitro. The higher levels of GM-CSF produced by human macrophages were also directly correlated with their increased life span and ability to control M. tuberculosis infection. Other evidence from recent studies also support that M. tuberculosis infected human macrophages display heterogeneity in their antibacterial capacity, and cells with increased expression of genes involved in GM-CSF signaling pathway can control intracellular M. tuberculosis growth more efficiently. Collectively, these emerging evidence indicate that GM-CSF produced by lung resident macrophages could be vital for the host resistance against M. tuberculosis infection in humans. Identification of GM-CSF dependent key cellular pathways/processes that mediate intracellular host defense can lay the groundwork for the development of novel host directed therapies against TB as well as other intracellular infections.

Abstract
Background Macrophages are important immune cells involved in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection. To further investigate the degree of disease development in patients with spinal tuberculosis (TB), we conducted research on macrophage polarization. Methods Thirty-six patients with spinal TB and twenty-five healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The specific morphology of tuberculous granuloma in spinal tissue was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. The presence and distribution of bacilli were observed by Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining. Macrophage-specific molecule CD68 was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). M1 macrophages play a proinflammatory role, including the specific molecule nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and the related cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). M2 macrophages exert anti-inflammatory effects, including the specific molecule CD163 and related cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10). The above markers were all detected by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and IHC. Results Typical tuberculous granuloma was observed in the HE staining of patients with spinal TB. ZN staining showed positive expression of Ag85B around the caseous necrosis tissue and Langerhans multinucleated giant cells. At the same time, IHC results indicated that CD68, iNOS, CD163, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ were expressed around the tuberculous granuloma, and their levels were obviously higher in close tissue than in the distant tissue. RT-PCR and ELISA results indicated that IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ levels of TB patients were also higher than those of the healthy controls. Conclusion The report here highlights that two types of macrophage polarization (M1 and M2) are present in the tissues and peripheral blood of patients with spinal TB. Macrophages also play proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory roles. Macrophage polarization is involved in spinal TB infection.

Abstract
Primary infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) results in the formation of a densely packed granulomatous response that essentially limits the entry and efficacy of immune effector cells. Furthermore, the physical nature of the granuloma does not readily permit the entry of therapeutic agents to sites where organisms reside. The Mtb cell wall mycolic acid, trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM), is a physiologically relevant molecule for modelling macrophage-mediated events during the establishment of the tuberculosis-induced granuloma pathogenesis. At present, there are no treatments for tuberculosis that focus on modulating the host's immune responses. Previous studies showed that lactoferrin (LF), a natural iron-binding protein proven to modulate inflammation, can ameliorate the cohesiveness of granuloma. This led to a series of studies that further examined the effects of recombinant human LF (rHLF) on the histological progression of TDM-induced pathology. Treatment with rHLF demonstrated significant reduction in size and number of inflammatory foci following injections of TDM, together with reduced levels pulmonary pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β. LF facilitated greater penetration of fluoroquinolone to the sites of pathology. Mice treated with TDM alone demonstrated exclusion of ofloxacin to regions of inflammatory response, whereas the animals treated with rHLF demonstrated increased penetration to inflammatory foci. Finally, recent findings support the hypothesis that this mycobacterial mycolic acid can specifically recruit M1-like polarized macrophages; rHLF treatment was shown to limit the level of this M1-like phenotypic recruitment, corresponding highly with decreased inflammatory response.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Mycobacteria have co-evolved with their hosts resulting in pathogens adept at intracellular survival. Pathogenic mycobacteria actively manipulate infected macrophages to drive granuloma formation while subverting host cell processes to create a permissive niche. Granuloma residency confers phenotypic antimicrobial resistance by physically excluding or neutralising antibiotics. Host-directed therapies (HDTs) combat infection by restoring protective immunity and reducing immunopathology independent of pathogen antimicrobial resistance status. This review covers innovative research that has discovered ‘secondary’ symptoms of infection in the granuloma stroma are actually primary drivers of infection and that relieving these stromal pathologies with HDTs benefits the host. Advances in our understanding of the relationship between tuberculosis and the host vasculature, haemostatic system and extracellular matrix reorganisation are discussed. Preclinical and clinical use of HDTs against these stromal targets are summarised.

Abstract
Phagocytes are highly motile immune cells that ingest and clear microbial invaders, harmful substances, and dying cells. Their function is critically dependent on the expression of chemokine receptors, a class of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Chemokine receptors coordinate the recruitment of phagocytes and other immune cells to sites of infection and damage, modulate inflammatory and wound healing responses, and direct cell differentiation, proliferation, and polarization. Besides, a structurally diverse group of atypical chemokine receptors (ACKRs) are unable to signal in G-protein-dependent fashion themselves but can shape chemokine gradients by fine-tuning the activity of conventional chemokine receptors. The optically transparent zebrafish embryos and larvae provide a powerful in vivo system to visualize phagocytes during development and study them as key elements of the immune response in real-time. In this review, we discuss how the zebrafish model has furthered our understanding of the role of two main classes of chemokine receptors, the CC and CXC subtypes, in phagocyte biology. We address the roles of the receptors in the migratory properties of phagocytes in zebrafish models for cancer, infectious disease, and inflammation. We illustrate how studies in zebrafish enable visualizing the contribution of chemokine receptors and ACKRs in shaping self-generated chemokine gradients of migrating cells. Taking the functional antagonism between two paralogs of the CXCR3 family as an example, we discuss how the duplication of chemokine receptor genes in zebrafish poses challenges, but also provides opportunities to study sub-functionalization or loss-of-function events. We emphasize how the zebrafish model has been instrumental to prove that the major determinant for the functional outcome of a chemokine receptor-ligand interaction is the cell-type expressing the receptor. Finally, we highlight relevant homologies and analogies between mammalian and zebrafish phagocyte function and discuss the potential of zebrafish models to further advance our understanding of chemokine receptors in innate immunity and disease.

Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1P) is a key sphingolipid involved in the pathobiology of various respiratory diseases. We have previously demonstrated the significance of S-1P in controlling non-pathogenic mycobacterial infection in macrophages, and here we demonstrate the therapeutic potential of S-1P against pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv) in the mouse model of infection. Our study revealed that S-1P is involved in the expression of iNOS proteins in macrophages, their polarization toward M1 phenotype, and secretion of interferon (IFN)-γ during the course of infection. S-1P is also capable of enhancing infiltration of pulmonary CD11b+ macrophages and expression of S-1P receptor-3 (S-1PR3) in the lungs during the course of infection. We further revealed the influence of S-1P on major signaling components of inflammatory signaling pathways during M. tuberculosis infection, thus highlighting antimycobacterial potential of S-1P in animals. Our data suggest that enhancing S-1P levels by sphingolipid mimetic compounds/drugs can be used as an immunoadjuvant for boosting immunity against pathogenic mycobacteria.

Alternative Vaccination Routes against Paratuberculosis Modulate Local Immune Response and Interference with Tuberculosis Diagnosis in Laboratory Animal Models. Vet Sci 2020; 7:vetsci7010007.

Abstract
Paratuberculosis (PTB) is an enteric granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) that mainly affects ruminants. Current vaccines have shown to be cost–effective control reagents, although they are restricted due to cross-interference with bovine tuberculosis (bTB). Therefore, novel vaccination strategies are needed and this study is focused on evaluating alternative vaccination routes and their effect on the local immune response. The MAP oral challenge rabbit model was used to evaluate and compare an experimental inactivated MAP vaccine through oral (VOR) and intradermal (VID) routes. The VID group presented the highest proportion of animals with no visible lesions and the lowest proportion of animals with MAP positive tissues. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that the VID group presented a dominantly M1 polarized response indicating an ability to control MAP infection. In general, all vaccinated groups showed lower calprotectin levels compared to the non-vaccinated challenged group suggesting less active granulomatous lesions. The VID group showed some degree of skin test reactivity, whereas the same vaccine through oral administration was completely negative. These data show that PTB vaccination has an effect on macrophage polarization and that the route influences infection outcome and can also have an impact on bTB diagnosis. Future evaluation of new immunological products against mycobacterial diseases should consider assaying different vaccination routes.

Abstract
Mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan (ManLAM) is a high molecular mass amphipathic lipoglycan identified in pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) and M. bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). ManLAM, serves as both an immunogen and a modulator of the host immune system, and its critical role in mycobacterial survival during infection has been well-characterized. ManLAM can be recognized by various types of receptors on both innate and adaptive immune cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), neutrophils, natural killer T (NKT) cells, T cells and B cells. MamLAM has been shown to affect phagocytosis, cytokine production, antigen presentation, T cell activation and polarization, as well as antibody production. Exploring the mechanisms underlying the roles of ManLAM during mycobacterial infection will aid in improving tuberculosis (TB) prevention, diagnosis and treatment interventions. In this review, we highlight the interaction between ManLAM and receptors, intracellular signalling pathways triggered by ManLAM and its roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses.

Abstract
The intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis can survive and replicate within host macrophages. Among various immunomodulatory substances, macrophages also produce α1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) which is secreted into the extracellular matrix of tuberculosis granulomas that represents a specific binding environment. Employing circular dichroism (CD) and UV/VIS absorption spectroscopic methods, we demonstrated and evaluated the AAG binding properties of novel antitubercular drug candidates developed against sensitive and multidrug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis. As inferred from the CD spectroscopic data, these chemically diverse organic molecules are engulfed within the β-barrel of the protein either in a monomeric or dimeric form. Molecular docking simulations suggested the importance of H-bonds and ligand-aromatic residue π-π stacking interactions in stabilizing the drug molecules at the protein binding site. Based on the estimated Kd values (7-20 μM), AAG could be considered as the significant binding partner of the antitubercular agents studied herein. As such, it may affect the drug distribution and bioavailability not only in serum but also in macrophages and in the extracellular matrix of tuberculosis granulomas.

Abstract
Murine models of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection demonstrate progression of M1-like (proinflammatory) and M2-like (anti-inflammatory) macrophage morphology following primary granuloma formation. The Mtb cell wall cording factor, trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM), is a physiologically relevant and useful molecule for modeling early macrophage-mediated events during establishment of the tuberculosis-induced granuloma pathogenesis. Here, it is shown that TDM is a major driver of the early M1-like macrophage response as seen during initiation of the granulomas of primary pathology. Proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-12p40 are produced in lung tissue after administration of TDM to mice. Furthermore, CD11b+CD45+ macrophages with a high surface expression of the M1-like markers CD38 and CD86 were found present in regions of pathology in lungs of mice at 7 days post-TDM introduction. Conversely, only low phenotypic marker expression of M2-like markers CD206 and EGR-2 were present on macrophages. These findings suggest that TDM plays a role in establishment of the M1-like shift in the microenvironment during primary tuberculosis.

Abstract
Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map) causes chronic granulomatous disease in cattle and ruminant livestock, causing substantial economic losses. Current vaccines delay clinical signs but cannot train the immune system to fully eradicate latent Map. During latency, Map uses host defenses, cage-like macrophage clusters called granuloma, as incubators for months or years. We used an in vitro model to investigate the early coordination of macrophages into granuloma upon Map infection over ten days. We found that at multiplicities of infection (MOI; Map:macrophages) of 1:2 and below, the macrophages readily form clusters and evolve pro-inflammatory cytokines in keeping with a cell-mediated immune response. At higher MOIs, viability of host macrophages is negatively impacted. At 1:4 MOI, we quantified viable Map in our model and confirmed that intracellular Map reproduced over the first five days of infection. Host cells expressed Type 1-specific cytokines, and Map-infected macrophages displayed reduced motility compared to Map-exposed, uninfected macrophages, suggesting an important role for uninfected macrophages in the early aggregative response. Reported is the first in vitro JD granuloma model capturing Map and macrophage viability, size distribution of resulting clusters, motility of monocyte-derived macrophages, and cytokine response during clustering, allowing quantitative analysis of multiple parameters of the Map-specific granulomatous response.

Abstract
Pulmonary respiration inevitably exposes the mucosal surface of the lung to potentially noxious stimuli, including pathogens, allergens, and particulates, each of which can trigger pulmonary damage and inflammation. As inflammation resolves, B and T lymphocytes often aggregate around large bronchi to form inducible Bronchus-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (iBALT). iBALT formation can be initiated by a diverse array of molecular pathways that converge on the activation and differentiation of chemokine-expressing stromal cells that serve as the scaffolding for iBALT and facilitate the recruitment, retention, and organization of leukocytes. Like conventional lymphoid organs, iBALT recruits naïve lymphocytes from the blood, exposes them to local antigens, in this case from the airways, and supports their activation and differentiation into effector cells. The activity of iBALT is demonstrably beneficial for the clearance of respiratory pathogens; however, it is less clear whether it dampens or exacerbates inflammatory responses to non-infectious agents. Here, we review the evidence regarding the role of iBALT in pulmonary immunity and propose that the final outcome depends on the context of the disease.
