Abstract
Immunostimulatory DNA sequences and their synthetic oligonucleotide analogs (CpG-ODN) activate innate immunity and can stimulate antibacterial effects against numerous intracellular pathogens. While it has been shown previously that CpG-ODN inhibit growth of Mycobacterium avium in murine and human macrophages, we now report that Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth can be inhibited by CpG-ODN treatment of human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDM). This inhibitory effect was reversed by IFN-γ, which has been shown repeatedly to enhance the growth of virulent M. tuberculosis in cultured hMDM. The antibacterial effect of CpG-ODN in human macrophages was specific for M. tuberculosis when compared to other intracellular pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin. These data indicate that CpG-ODN can improve the ability of hMDM to contain growth of virulent M. tuberculosis.
