Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2024; 148:102541. [PMID: 39002312 DOI: 10.1016/j.tube.2024.102541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), is a globally zoonotic disease with significant economic impacts. Plasma exosomes have been extensively used for investigating disease processes and exploring biomarkers. While mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic analysis of plasma exosomes has been employed for human tuberculosis (TB) studies, it has not yet been applied to bTB. Therefore, a comprehensive proteomic overview of plasma exosomes from M. bovis-infected cows is essential. In this study, we presented an extensive proteomic analysis of plasma exosomes from 89 M. bovis-infected cows across three farms, using data dependent acquisition (DDA) mode. Our analysis encompasses 239,894 spectra, 6,011 peptides and 835 proteins. The proteomic overview revealed both consistencies and differences among individual cows, supplements 595 proteins to the bovine exosome library, and enriches tuberculosis and related pathways. Additionally, six pathways were validated as immune response pathways, and three proteins (CATHL1, H1-1, and LCN2) were identified as potential indicators of bTB. This study is the first to investigate the exosome proteome of plasma from cows infected with M. bovis, providing a valuable dataset for exploring candidate bTB markers and understanding the mechanisms of host defense against M. bovis.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains one of the most prevalent and deadly infectious diseases worldwide. Currently, there are complex interactions between host cells and pathogens in TB. The onset, progression, and regression of TB are correlated not only with the virulence of MTB but also with the immunity of TB patients. Exosomes are cell-secreted membrane-bound nanovesicles with lipid bilayers that contain a variety of biomolecules, such as metabolites, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Exosome-mediated cell-cell communication and interactions with the microenvironment represent crucial mechanisms through which exosomes exert their functional effects. Exosomes harbor a wide range of regulatory roles in physiological and pathological conditions, including MTB infection. Exosomes can regulate the immune response, metabolism, and cellular death to remodel the progression of MTB infection. During MTB infection, exosomes display distinctive profiles and quantities that may act as diagnostic biomarkers, suggesting that exosomes provide a revealing glimpse into the evolving landscape of MTB infections. Furthermore, exosomes derived from MTB and mesenchymal stem cells can be harnessed as vaccine platforms and drug delivery vehicles for the precise targeting and treatment of TB. In this review, we highlight the functions and mechanisms through which exosomes influence the progression of TB. Additionally, we unravel the critical significance of exosomal constituents in the diagnosis and therapeutic applications of TB, aiming to offer novel perspectives and strategies for combating TB.

Mol Diagn Ther 2024; 28:189-199. [PMID: 38261250 DOI: 10.1007/s40291-023-00691-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
The complement system plays a dual role in the body, either as a first-line defense barrier when balanced between activation and inhibition or as a potential driver of complement-associated injury or diseases when unbalanced or over-activated. C4b-binding protein (C4BP) was the first circulating complement regulatory protein identified and it functions as an important complement inhibitor. C4BP can suppress the over-activation of complement components and prevent the complement system from attacking the host cells through the binding of complement cleavage products C4b and C3b, working in concert as a cofactor for factor I in the degradation of C4b and C3b, and consequently preventing or reducing the assembly of C3 convertase and C5 convertase, respectively. C4BP, particularly C4BP α-chain (C4BPα), exerts its unique inhibitory effects on complement activation and opsonization, systemic inflammation, and platelet activation and aggregation. It has long been acknowledged that crosstalk or interplay exists between the complement system and platelets. Our unpublished preliminary data suggest that circulating C4BPα exerts its antiplatelet effects through inhibition of both complement activity levels and complement-induced platelet reactivity. Plasma C4BPα levels appear to be significantly higher in patients sensitive to, rather than resistant to, clopidogrel, and we suggest that a plasma C4BPα measurement could be used to predict clopidogrel resistance in the clinical settings.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) effectively manipulates the host processes to establish the deadly respiratory disease, Tuberculosis (TB). M.tb has developed key mechanisms to disrupt the host cell health to combat immune responses and replicate efficaciously. M.tb antigens such as ESAT-6, 19kDa lipoprotein, Hip1, and Hsp70 destroy the integrity of cell organelles (Mitochondria, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Nucleus, Phagosomes) or delay innate/adaptive cell responses. This is followed by the induction of cellular stress responses in the host. Such cells can either undergo various cell death processes such as apoptosis or necrosis, or mount effective immune responses to clear the invading pathogen. Further, to combat the infection progression, the host secretes extracellular vesicles such as exosomes to initiate immune signaling. The exosomes can contain M.tb as well as host cell-derived peptides that can act as a double-edged sword in the immune signaling event. The host-symbiont microbiota produces various metabolites that are beneficial for maintaining healthy tissue microenvironment. In juxtaposition to the above-mentioned mechanisms, M.tb dysregulates the gut and respiratory microbiome to support its replication and dissemination process. The above-mentioned interconnected host cellular processes of Immunometabolism, Cellular stress, Host Microbiome, and Extracellular vesicles are less explored in the realm of exploration of novel Host-directed therapies for TB. Therefore, this review highlights the intertwined host cellular processes to control M.tb survival and showcases the important factors that can be targeted for designing efficacious therapy.

Abstract
Exosomes as double-membrane vesicles contain various contents of lipids, proteins, mRNAs and non-coding RNAs, and involve in multiple physiological processes, for instance intercellular communication and immunomodulation. Currently, numerous studies found that the components of exosomal proteins, nucleic acids or lipids released from host cells are altered following infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Exosomal contents provide excellent biomarkers for the auxiliary diagnosis, efficacy evaluation, and prognosis of tuberculosis. This study aimed to review the current literatures detailing the functions of exosomes in the procedure of M. tuberculosis infection, and determine the potential values of exosomes as biomarkers to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of tuberculosis.

Biomarkers Correlated with Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment Response: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11030743. [PMID: 36985316 PMCID: PMC10057454 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11030743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: There is a need to identify alternative biomarkers to predict tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment response because observing the incidence decline renders a long follow-up period. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science up to 9 February 2023. The biomarker levels during preventive treatment were quantitatively summarized by means of meta-analysis using the random-effect model. Results: Eleven eligible studies, published during 2006–2022, were included in the meta-analysis, with frequently heterogeneous results. Twenty-six biomarkers or testing methods were identified regarding TB preventive treatment monitoring. The summarized standard mean differences of interferon-γ (INF-γ) were −1.44 (95% CI: −1.85, −1.03) among those who completed preventive treatment (τ2 = 0.21; I2 = 95.2%, p < 0.001) and −0.49 (95% CI: −1.05, 0.06) for those without preventive treatment (τ2 = 0.13; I2 = 82.0%, p < 0.001), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the INF-γ level after treatment decreased significantly from baseline among studies with high TB burden (−0.98, 95% CI: −1.21, −0.75) and among those with a history of Bacillus Calmette–Guérin vaccination (−0.87, 95% CI: −1.10, −0.63). Conclusions: Our results suggested that decreased INF-γ was observed among those who completed preventive treatment but not in those without preventive treatment. Further studies are warranted to explore its value in preventive treatment monitoring due to limited available data and extensive between-study heterogeneity.
