Mycobacterium tuberculosis resides in lysosome-poor monocyte-derived lung cells during chronic infection


ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infects multiple lung myeloid cell subsets and persists despite innate and adaptive immune responses. However, the mechanisms allowing Mtb to evade elimination by these subsets are not fully understood. Here, we determined that four weeks post infection, after development of adaptive immune responses, CD11clo monocyte-derived lung cells termed MNC1 (mononuclear cell subset 1), harbor more live Mtb compared to alveolar macrophages (AM), neutrophils, and less permissive CD11chi MNC2. Bulk RNA-seq analysis for these subsets identified that lysosome biogenesis pathway is underexpressed in MNC1. Functional assays confirmed that Mtb-permissive MNC1 are deficient in lysosome content, lysosomal acidification, and lysosomal activity compared to AM, and have less nuclear TFEB, a master regulator of lysosome biogenesis. Mtb infection does not alter lysosome deficiency in MNC1. Instead, Mtb recruits MNC1 and MNC2 to the lungs for its spread from AM to these subsets, which depend on Mtb ESX-1 secretion system. Furthermore, nilotinib-mediated TFEB activation enhances lysosome function of primary macrophages in vitro, and MNC1 and MNC2 in vivo, improving control of Mtb infection. Our results suggest that Mtb exploits lysosome-poor monocyte-derived lung cells for persistence; targeting lysosome biogenesis may be an effective approach to host-directed therapy for tuberculosis, enabling permissive lung cells to restrict and kill Mtb through autophagy and other mechanisms.
