Human iPSC derived alveolar macrophages reveal macrophage subtype specific functions of itaconate in <i>M. tuberculosis</i> host defense
2025-07-26
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) must survive within multiple macrophage populations during infection, including alveolar macrophages (AM) and recruited inflammatory macrophages. In mice, itaconate, produced in macrophages by ACOD1 mediated decarboxylation of aconitate, has direct antimicrobial activity, modulates inflammatory cytokines, and is required for resistance to M. tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. The role...
