Summary: | Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(
M. tuberculosis
) can replicate in the macrophage by interfering with many host protein functions. While it is far from known these host proteins for controlling
M. tuberculosis
infection. Herein, we infected macrophages including THP-1 and Raw264.7 cells with
M. tuberculosis
and identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the interferon signaling pathway. Among them, 2′-5′ oligoadenylate synthetase-like (OASL) underwent the greatest upregulation in
M. tuberculosis
-infected macrophages. Knockdown of the expression of OASL attenuated
M. tuberculosis
survival in macrophages. Further, bioinformatics analysis revealed the potential interaction axis of OASL-TAB3- Rv0127, which was further validated by the yeast-two-hybrid (Y2H) assay and Co-IP. This interaction axis might regulate the
M. tuberculosis
survival and proliferation in macrophages. The study reveals a possible role of OASL during
M. tuberculosis
infection as a target to control its propagation. |
