TL;DR: Autophagy collaborates with human immune responses against Mtb in close association with specific IFNG secreted against the pathogen, and a positive correlation between IFNG and MAP1LC3B-II/LC3-II levels is detected.

Abstract: Protective immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) requires IFNG. Besides, IFNG-mediated induction of autophagy suppresses survival of virulent Mtb in macrophage cell lines. We investigated the contribution of autophagy to the defense against Mtb antigen (Mtb-Ag) in cells from tuberculosis patients and healthy donors (HD). Patients were classified as high responders (HR) if their T cells produced significant IFNG against Mtb-Ag; and low responders (LR) when patients showed weak or no T cell responses to Mtb-Ag. The highest autophagy levels were detected in HD cells whereas the lowest quantities were observed in LR patients. Interestingly, upon Mtb-Ag stimulation, we detected a positive correlation between IFNG and MAP1LC3B-II/LC3-II levels. Actually, blockage of Mtb-Ag-induced IFNG markedly reduced autophagy in HR patients whereas addition of limited amounts of IFNG significantly increased autophagy in LR patients. Therefore, autophagy collaborates with human immune responses against Mtb in close association with specific IFNG secreted against the pathogen.

TL;DR: Increasing studies have proven the optimal use of either ATG inducers or inhibitors can restrain tumor growth and progression by enhancing anti-tumor immune responses and overcoming the anti- Tournaisian immune resistance in combination with several immunotherapeutic strategies, indicating that induction or inhibition of autophagy might show a prospective therapeutic strategy when combined with immunotherapy.
The innate immune response in human tuberculosis.
TL;DR: This mini‐review of host–pathogen interactions with a focus on studies performed in human cells and/or supported by human genetics studies (such as genome‐wide association studies) concludes that Mtb has evolved strategies to circumvent some of these defences.

TL;DR: Gko mice have been developed which fail to produce IFN-gamma (gko), because of a targeted disruption of the gene for IFNs, and succumb to a rapid and fatal course of tuberculosis that could be delayed, but not prevented, by treatment with exogenous recombinant IFN.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that autophagic pathways can overcome the trafficking block imposed by M. tuberculosis, which is a hormonally, developmentally, and immunologically regulated process, represents an underapp appreciated innate defense mechanism for control of intracellular pathogens.

TL;DR: A new mode of protein lipidation is reported, in which Apg8 is covalently conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine through an amide bond between the C-terminal glycine and the amino group of phosph atidyleanolamine, mediated by a ubiquitination-like system.
