According to most models of mycobacterial infection, inhibition of the
pro-inflammatory macrophage immune responses contributes to the persistence of
bacteria. Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is a highly
successful pathogen in cattle and sheep and is also implicated as the causative
agent of Crohn's disease in humans. Pathogenic mycobacteria such as MAP have
developed multiple strategies to evade host defence mechanisms including
interfering with the macrophages' capacity to respond to IFN-?, a feature which
might be lacking in non-pathogenic mycobacteria such as M. smegmatis. We
hypothesized that pre-sensitisation of macrophages with the pro-inflammatory
cytokine IFN-? would help in overcoming the inhibitory effect of MAP or its
antigens on macrophage inflammatory responses. Herein we have compared a series
of macrophage activation parameters in response to MAP and M. smegmatis as well
as mycobacterial antigens. While IFN-? did overcome the inhibition in immune
suppressive mechanisms in response to MAP antigen as well as M. smegmatis, we
could not find a clear role for IFN-? in overcoming the inhibition of macrophage
inflammatory responses to the pathogenic mycobacterium, MAP. We demonstrate that
suppression of macrophage defence mechanisms by pathogenic mycobacteria is
unlikely to be overcome by prior sensitization with IFN-? alone. This indicates
that IFN-? signaling pathway-independent mechanisms may exist for overcoming
inhibition of macrophage effector functions in response to pathogenic
mycobacteria. These findings have important implications in understanding the
survival mechanisms of pathogenic mycobacteria directed towards finding better
therapeutics and vaccination strategies.
