Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific CD4 T cells expressing CD153 inversely associate with bacterial load and disease severity in human tuberculosis

Elsa Du Bruyn et al.

Summary: Recent data suggests that CD153 plays a crucial role in controlling Mycobacterium tuberculosis, showing reduced expression in active TB patients compared to latently infected individuals. The expression of CD153 on Mtb-specific CD4 T cells inversely correlates with lung bacterial load and can be partially restored by antitubercular treatment, indicating its potential as a marker for evaluating TB vaccine efficacy in humans.

Biomarker-guided tuberculosis preventive therapy (CORTIS): a randomised controlled trial

Thomas J. Scriba et al.

Summary: The study conducted in South Africa involved 20,207 volunteers, testing the performance of the RISK11 transcriptomic signature and 3HP preventive therapy. Results showed a higher prevalence and incidence of tuberculosis in RISK11-positive participants who received 3HP preventive therapy compared to RISK11-negative participants.

Longitudinal Dynamics of a Blood Transcriptomic Signature of Tuberculosis

Humphrey Mulenga et al.

Summary: The study found that in HIV-negative participants, the RISK11 blood biomarker status was mostly transient and influenced by respiratory organisms, while in HIV-infected individuals, the persistence of the status was less common. Additionally, the research also showed that RISK11 could not differentiate between prevalent TB and viral organisms.

Validation of a host blood transcriptomic biomarker for pulmonary tuberculosis in people living with HIV: a prospective diagnostic and prognostic accuracy study

Simon C. Mendelsohn et al.

Summary: This study in South Africa's communities aimed to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of the host blood transcriptomic signature RISK11 in people with HIV, finding that RISK11 performed well in diagnosing tuberculosis and predicting progression to active pulmonary disease.
