Abstract:

Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains an important chronic inflammatory respiratory infectious disease. The pathogenesis of MTB depends on its ability to regulate the host metabolism. The host macrophage metabolic plasticity plays a key role in the progress of tuberculosis. The host release of IL-1 during MTB infection is critical for host defence and is subject to the host metabolic status. We reviewed the secretion of IL-1 during MTB infection and its effect on host resistance, the regulation of IL-1 by host macrophage metabolic reprogramming, and the crosstalk between IL-1 and other cytokines. This can deepen our understanding of host resistance to infection and the role of IL-1.

Key words: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Interleukin-1, Macrophage, Metabolic reprogramming
