摘要:

病原菌在宿主细胞内的持留分子机理是目前研究的热点和难点。病原菌的抗酸能力与此密切相关。结核分枝杆菌感染导致的结核病仍然是全球公共卫生的重大威胁,这与结核分枝杆菌抗酸并在宿主巨噬细胞内持留有关。结核分枝杆菌抗酸主要通过调控质子进出、代谢调控胞内酸碱平衡和双组份信号系统调控。本文综述了结核分枝杆菌在酸胁迫下的整体调控网络,阐述了在酸性环境中结核分枝杆菌的具体调控机理,旨在为持留结核分枝杆菌的治疗提供新的全局性思路,寻找新的结核病防控靶标。

Abstract:

The molecular mechanisms of pathogen persistence within host cells are emerging hotspots, and one of the causes of its persistence is the acid resistance of bacteria. Currently, tuberculosis remains a serious threat to global public health and it is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In particular, acid resistance of M. tuberculosis and its persistence within macrophages contribute significantly to tuberculosis. Investigations have uncovered three major mechanisms underlying its acid resistance: the control of proton entry, metabolic regulation of intracellular acid-base balance and regulation of the two-component signaling system. In this review, we summarize the overall regulation network of M. tuberculosis in the acidic environment, aiming at providing a new overall idea for treating M. tuberculosis persistence and exploring new targets for tuberculosis control.

Key words: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, acid-resistance related gene, retention, regulatory network
