TARM-1 Is Critical for Macrophage Activation and Th1 Response in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Copyright © 2021 by The American Association of Immunologists, Inc..

T cell-interacting activating receptor on myeloid cells 1 (TARM-1) is a novel leukocyte receptor expressed in neutrophils and macrophages. It plays an important role in proinflammatory response in acute bacterial infection, but its immunomodulatory effects on chronic Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections remain unclear. TARM-1 expression was significantly upregulated on CD14high monocytes from patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) as compared that on cells from patients with latent TB or from healthy control subjects. Small interfering RNA knockdown of TARM-1 reduced expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-12, IL-18, IL-1β, and IL-8 in M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages, as well as that of HLA-DR and costimulatory molecules CD83, CD86, and CD40. Moreover, TARM-1 enhanced phagocytosis and intracellular killing of M. tuberculosis through upregulating reactive oxygen species. In an in vitro monocyte and T cell coculture system, blockade of TARM-1 activity by TARM-1 blocking peptide suppressed CD4+ T cell activation and proliferation. Finally, administration of TARM-1 blocking peptide in a mouse model of M. tuberculosis infection increased bacterial load and lung pathology, which was associated with decreased macrophage activation and IFN-γ production by T cell. Taken together, these results, to our knowledge, demonstrate a novel immune protective role of TARM-1 in M. tuberculosis infection and provide a potential therapeutic target for TB disease.
