The Intracellular Growth of M. tuberculosis Is More Associated with High Glucose Levels Than with Impaired Responses of Monocytes from T2D Patients by Martha Torres, María Teresa Herrera, Guadalupe Fabián-San-Miguel, Yolanda Gonzalez

“…To evaluate whether M. tuberculosis infection susceptibility is associated with an intrinsic factor in monocytes from type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients or it is associated with hyperglycemia per se, we analyzed TLR-2 and TLR-4 expression by flow cytometry and the cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α by cytometric bead array assays, either stimulated with TLR-2 and TLR-4 ligands or infected with M. tuberculosis in the whole blood from T2D patients (n=43) and healthy subjects (n=26) or in CD14+ monocytes from healthy subjects cultured in high glucose (HG) (30 mM). …”
