Increased susceptibility to intracellular bacteria and necrotic inflammation driven by a dysregulated macrophage response to TNF
2017-12-22
Abstract excerpt
Host susceptibility to tuberculosis and several other intracellular bacteria is controlled by a mouse genetic locus, sst1. Necrotic inflammatory lesions, similar to human TB granulomas, are a hallmark of the sst1 susceptible phenotype. Our previous work established that increased disease severity in sst1 susceptible mice reflects dysfunctional macrophage effector or tolerance mechanisms, but the molecular mechanis...
