Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major human pathogen that is able to survive
inside host cells and resist immune clearance. Most particularly, it inhibits
several arms of the innate immune response, including phagosome maturation or
cytokine production. To better understand the molecular mechanisms by which M.
tuberculosis circumvents host immune defenses, we used a transposon mutant
library generated in a virulent clinical isolate of M. tuberculosis of the
W/Beijing family to infect human macrophages, utilizing a cell line derivative of
THP-1 cells expressing a reporter system for activation of the transcription
factor NF-?B, a key regulator of innate immunity. We identified several M.
tuberculosis mutants inducing a NF-?B activation stronger than that of the
wild-type strain. One of these mutants was found to be deficient for the
synthesis of cell envelope glycolipids, namely sulfoglycolipids, suggesting that
the latter can interfere with innate immune responses. Using natural and
synthetic molecular variants, we determined that sulfoglycolipids inhibit NF-?B
activation and subsequent cytokine production or costimulatory molecule
expression by acting as competitive antagonists of Toll-like receptor 2, thereby
inhibiting the recognition of M. tuberculosis by this receptor. Our study reveals
that producing glycolipid antagonists of pattern recognition receptors is a
strategy used by M. tuberculosis to undermine innate immune defense.
Sulfoglycolipids are major and specific lipids of M. tuberculosis, considered for
decades as virulence factors of the bacilli. Our study uncovers a mechanism by
which they may contribute to M. tuberculosis virulence.
