Manganese enhances macrophage defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis via the STING-TNF signaling pathway.
International Immunopharmacology 2022 November 24
The host cell antiviral response pathway depends heavily on manganese (Mn), but its role in defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infection is rarely reported. In this study, we found that, in H37Ra-infected macrophages, Mn2+ increases the phosphorylation of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and P65, as well as triggers the phosphorylation cascade of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway proteins, signal-regulated kinase (ERK), P38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). The activation of the TNF signaling pathway stimulated the expression of downstream inflammatory factors TNF-α, C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 10(CXCL10), CC Motif Chemokine Ligand 20(CCL20), Colony Stimulating Factor 1(CSF1), Colony Stimulating Factor 2(CSF2), and Jagged Canonical Notch Ligand 1(JAG1), thereby triggering a strong inflammatory response in the cells. The excessive accumulation of TNF-α in macrophages induces necroptosis and inhibits the survival of M. tuberculosis in macrophages. When we treated macrophages with the STING inhibitor H-151, the phosphorylation of P38 was reduced, and the secretion of downstream inflammatory factors TNF-α and CXCL10, CCL20, CSF1, and CSF2 were also inhibited. Overall, this study reveals that Mn2+ plays a crucial role in host cell defense against M. tuberculosis infection, contributes to a deeper understanding of pathogen-host interactions, and offers theoretical support for the use of Mn2+ as a drug cofactor for the treatment of tuberculosis and the development of a new generation of drugs and vaccine adjuvants.
