Uncharted territory: the role of mitochondrial DNA variation in macrophage-mediated host susceptibility to tuberculosis
Mitochondria form an integral, yet frequently underappreciated, part of the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), particularly within macrophages. Despite growing recognition for their role in infection and immunity, studies investigating how mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation influences host susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) are limited. Notably, there are no studies in African-based populations, although Africans possess unparalleled human genetic diversity, including the earliest diverged mitochondrial haplogroups, and a high TB burden. This underrepresentation limits the discovery of novel ancestry-specific genetic loci associated with TB. In this review article, we describe the unique characteristics of mtDNA, highlight key mitochondrial functions relevant to macrophage responses during M.tb infection, and summarise published studies that investigate the role of host mtDNA variation in TB susceptibility. We further advocate for the inclusion of African populations in future studies to identify novel TB susceptibility genetic risk loci and expand the current knowledgebase on host TB susceptibility.
期刊介绍:
Tuberculosis is a speciality journal focusing on basic experimental research on tuberculosis, notably on bacteriological, immunological and pathogenesis aspects of the disease. The journal publishes original research and reviews on the host response and immunology of tuberculosis and the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of the organism, however discourages submissions with a meta-analytical focus (for example, articles based on searches of published articles in public electronic databases, especially where there is lack of evidence of the personal involvement of authors in the generation of such material). We do not publish Clinical Case-Studies.
Areas on which submissions are welcomed include:
-Clinical TrialsDiagnostics-
Antimicrobial resistance-
Immunology-
Leprosy-
Microbiology, including microbial physiology-
Molecular epidemiology-
Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria-
Pathogenesis-
Pathology-
Vaccine development.
This Journal does not accept case-reports.
The resurgence of interest in tuberculosis has accelerated the pace of relevant research and Tuberculosis has grown with it, as the only journal dedicated to experimental biomedical research in tuberculosis.
