Methylation in Mycobacterium-host interaction and implications for novel control measures (original) (raw)

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020

Abstract

Methylation epigenetically regulates many pivotal biological processes. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen of tuberculosis, can modulate host methylome. The methylated genes, sites, signaling pathway, chromatin remodeling, especially the immune related genes such as cytokines and chemokines, drug resistance and vaccines efficacy relevant genes were summarized in this paper. The results showed that methylation plays important roles in immune evasion, pathogenesis, persistence, disease progression, active, drug responder and non-responder. This will inform better practice for the development of new drugs and vaccines to eradicate tuberculosis.
