Transcriptomic profile of circulating memory CD4 T cells in active versus latent tuberculosis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB) is responsible for the majority of mortality and morbidity associated with infectious diseases worldwide. The characterization of exact molecular components of immune response associated with protection against TB may help design more effective therapeutic interventions. In this study, we aimed to characterize the immune signature of memory T cells associated with active versus latent infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Transcriptomic profiling using RNA sequencing was performed on memory CD4 T cells isolated from individuals with active TB (at diagnosis and 2 months post treatment), latent TB, as well as from TB negative healthy controls. Overall, we found specific gene signatures for each cohort that could successfully discriminate between individuals with active TB at diagnosis, treated active TB, latent TB and healthy controls.
