Abstract:

Diabetes is one of the risk factors for tuberculosis or progression to severe tuberculosis. The inflammatory environment caused by high glucose can lead to the damage of phagocytosis of innate immune cells and delayed presentation of related antigen presenting cells. Then the abnormal differentiation induced by adaptive immune response will affect the anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of CD4+ and CD8+T cells, lead to abnormal secretion of related cytokines and eventually cause immune dysfunction and accelerate the process of tuberculosis infection. Therefore, the research progress on the innate immune mechanism and adaptive immune response of diabetes to anti-tuberculosis infection were reviewed, in order to provide the basis for the anti-inflammatory treatment of diabetic patients and the formulation of reasonable immunotherapy strategies.
