It is known that vitamin B1 (VB1) has a protective effect against oxidative retinal damage induced by anti-tuberculosis drugs. However, it remains unclear whether VB1 regulates immune responses during <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> (MTB) infection. We report here that VB1 promotes the protective immune response to limit the survival of MTB within macrophages and <i>in vivo</i> through regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ). VB1 promotes macrophage polarization int ...[more]
