Our results indicate that MtbDNA induced phenotypical changes, the significant production of TNF-α, and autophagy confirmed by the augmented expression of immunity related GTPase M (IRGM) and autophagy related ATG16L1 genes in M1 macrophages, whereas M2 macrophages exhibited limited responses.

Thus, IRGM polymorphism differences between latent and active TB suggests that genetic differences in autophagy might partly affect host TB infection status.

Recent data suggest that autophagy is important for intracellular killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and polymorphisms in the autophagy gene IRGM have been linked with susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) among African-Americans, and with TB caused by particular M. tuberculosis genotypes in Ghana.

Three of these IFN-gamma-dependent mechanisms have been implicated in defense against M. tuberculosis: inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), phagosome oxidase (phox), and the phagosome-associated GTPase LRG-47.
