Background Subjects with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID), such as rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis infection (TBI), have a high probability of progressing to disease (TB). We aim characterize the impact IMID on immune response M. (Mtb) in patients TBI and TB disease. Methods enrolled without IMID. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated Mtb-derived epitopes (MTB300). By flow-cytometry, we identified Mtb-specific CD4 + T cytokine-producing or CD25 CD134 cells. Memory activation status assessed by evaluating: CD153, HLA-DR, CD45RA, CD27. Mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA) was used evaluate ability PBMCs inhibit mycobacteria growth. A long-term stimulation detect memory response. Results The therapy did not affect magnitude Mtb-antigen number responders. TBI-IMID showed cytokine profile like patients. Mtb characterized an effector central phenotype groups. This allowed increased IFN-γ production after 6 days MTB300-stimulation. HLA-DR expression associated TB, whereas CD153 status. Finally, had MGIA Conclusion condition does key aspects Mtb, response, profile, contain replication. immunological characterization fragile population is fundamental understanding correlation between protection

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, necessitating accurate diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, play crucial roles in disease progression, with their associated genes serving as potential biomarkers therapeutic targets. Leveraging publicly available RNA-Seq datasets of TB patients healthy controls (HCs), to identify differentially expressed (DEGs) protein-protein interaction networks immune cell profiles, the common EV-related DEGs were identified validated GSE42830 GSE40553 datasets. We have nine (SERPINA1, TNFAIP6, MAPK14, STAT1, ITGA2B, VAMP5, CTSL, CEACAM1, PLAUR) upregulated patients. Immune infiltration analysis revealed differences between HCs, highlighting increased proportions various cells These are involved cellular processes pathways related exocytosis response regulation. Notably, VAMP5 exhibited excellent diagnostic performance (AUC-0.993, sensitivity-93.8%, specificity-100%), novel biomarker for TB. The can serve that distinguish HCs. which functions exosome biogenesis showed upregulation TB, be targeted interventions outcomes.
