Results suggest that MARCO polymorphisms may regulate phagocytosis of M. tuberculosis and susceptibility and severity ofPTB, and suggest MARCO genotype and Beijing strains may interact to increase the risk of PTB.

Evaluation of the relationship between MARCO and CD36 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis in a Chinese Han population

Data showed that MARCO rs12998782 may increase PTB risk while two SNPs of CD36, rs1194182 and rs10499859 may reduce the risk, indicating MARCO and CD36 as important receptors in response to PTB.

The influence of host genetics and different >Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains on macrophage functions and clinical outcome of tuberculosis disease

An impairment of macrophage phagocytic function, under the influence of genetic factors, may help explain the pathogenesis of the transition from latent to active or disseminated TB, and that the virulence of clinical Mtb isolates are associated with Mtb lineages and distinct host immune responses.

Variations in human monocyte-derived macrophage antimicrobial activities and their associations with tuberculosis clinical manifestations

The results indicate that antimicrobial activities of monocyte-derived macrophages vary among individuals and show immunological dependence, but suggest these activities cannot be solely responsible for the control of bacterial replication or dissemination in TB.

Interaction between host genes and M. tuberculosis lineage can affect tuberculosis severity: evidence for coevolution

It is demonstrated that IL12B is associated with severity of TB in addition to susceptibility, and that the association between TB severity and human genetics can be due to an interaction between genes in the two species, providing evidence of host-pathogen coevolution in TB.

Immunological consequences of strain variation within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex

This review highlights the studies demonstrating differences in innate and adaptive immunological outcomes consequent on MTBC genetic diversity, and discusses how these differences in immune response might influence the development of TB vaccines, diagnostics and new therapies.

Interaction between host genes and Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineage can affect tuberculosis severity: Evidence for coevolution?

It is demonstrated that IL12B is associated with severity of TB in addition to susceptibility, and that the association between TB severity and human genetics can be due to an interaction between genes in the two species, consistent with host-pathogen coevolution in TB.

Variations in Antimicrobial Activities of Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophage and Their Associations With Tuberculosis Clinical Manifestations

The results indicate that antimicrobial activities of monocyte-derived macrophages vary among individuals and show immunological dependence, but suggest these activities cannot be solely responsible for the control of bacterial replication or dissemination in TB.

Human‐Specific Mutations and Positively Selected Sites in MARCO Confer Functional Changes

It is shown that the residues at sites 452 and 282 enhance receptor function, and is cloned the ancestral residues and loss‐of‐function mutations and investigated the role of these residues in binding and internalizing polystyrene microspheres and Escherichia coli.

The Interplay of Human and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Genomic Variability

Some of the most consistent findings of genetic susceptibility factors in human TB are presented and analyses considering joint human–Mtb genomic variability may provide improved power for the discovery of pathogenic drivers of the ongoing TB epidemic.

Virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Clinical Isolates Is Associated With Sputum Pre-treatment Bacterial Load, Lineage, Survival in Macrophages, and Cytokine Response

The association between virulence phenotypes, bacterial growth, and proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages suggest the suppression of certain pro inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6 but not IL-1β allows better intracellular survival of highly virulent Mtb.

The study suggested that genetic variants in MARCO gene were associated with pulmonary tuberculosis susceptibility in Chinese Han population, and the findings emphasize the importance of MARCO mediated immune responses in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis.

The Influence of Host and Bacterial Genotype on the Development of Disseminated Disease with Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Evidence that M. tuberculosis genotype influences clinical disease phenotype is provided and a significant interaction between host and bacterial genotypes and the development of tuberculosis is demonstrated for the first time.

Epiregulin (EREG) variation is associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis

The first evidence for an important role for EREG as a susceptibility gene for human TB is provided, using a genome-wide association study dataset, and among the 21 genes with greater than 50-fold induction, EREG had the most polymorphisms associated with TB.

Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype strains is associated with polymorphisms in SLC11A1/NRAMP1 in Indonesian patients with tuberculosis.

The M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype, which comprised 29.8% of all isolates, was strongly associated with 2 polymorphisms in SLC11A1: the D543N G allele (odds ratio [OR], 2.15) and the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) insertion/insertion genotype (OR, 2.5; P=.001).

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, macrophages, and the innate immune response: does common variation matter?

Recent discoveries in human genetic studies are emphasized and correlated with efforts to understand how these variants alter the molecular and cellular functions that regulate the macrophage response to MTb.

MARCO Is Required for TLR2- and Nod2-Mediated Responses to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Clearance of Pneumococcal Colonization in the Murine Nasopharynx

MARCO was required for maximal TLR2- and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain–containing (Nod)2-dependent NF-κB activation and signaling that ultimately resulted in clearance, indicating that MARCO is an important component of anti-S.

Relationship between Mycobacterium tuberculosis Genotype and the Clinical Phenotype of Pulmonary and Meningeal Tuberculosis

The association between the East Asian/Beijing lineage and disease progression and CSF leukocyte count suggests the lineage may alter the presentation of meningitis by influencing the intracerebral inflammatory response.

Innate Immune Recognition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Insight into pattern recognition receptors and the recognition of mycobacteria, combined with immunogenetic studies in TB patients, does not only lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of tuberculosis but also may contribute to the design of novel immunotherapeutic strategies.

Selective receptor blockade during phagocytosis does not alter the survival and growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in human macrophages.

The mechanisms whereby M. tuberculosis evades killing by human macrophages are independent of the receptor-mediated route of entry, and operate at one or more steps common to all entry pathways.
