Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy is a defense mechanism inhibiting BCG and Mycobacterium tuberculosis survival in infected macrophages.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that autophagic pathways can overcome the trafficking block imposed by M. tuberculosis, which is a hormonally, developmentally, and immunologically regulated process, represents an underapp appreciated innate defense mechanism for control of intracellular pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

T helper 2 cytokines inhibit autophagic control of intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TL;DR: It is reported that Th2 cytokines affect autophagy in macrophages and their ability to control intracellular M. tuberculosis and a mechanism through which Th1-Th2 polarization differentially affects the immune control of intrACEllular pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Prevents Inflammasome Activation

TL;DR: A previously masked role for IL-1beta is uncovered in the control of Mtb and a mycobacterial system that prevents inflammasome activation and, therefore, IL- 1beta activation is uncovered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mycobacterium tuberculosis inhibition of phagolysosome biogenesis and autophagy as a host defence mechanism

TL;DR: This review summarizes the findings centred around the PI3P‐nexus where the mycobacterial phagosome maturation block and execution stages of autophagy intersect.
