Firstly, we identified and analyzed human macrophage subsets and studied the interactions between these human cells and a major pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and the specific metabolic changes involved using well-controlled in vitro systems. Next, we employed metabolomics to determine the impact of concurrent TB-DM on circulating metabolites in patient cohorts ex vivo.

As the incidence of DM is rising, especially in TB endemic countries, it is important to identify the relevant immunological and metabolic processes that underlie TB-DM comorbidity, because such insights will facilitate optimal treatment, diagnosis and prevention. In this thesis, we have started to unravel key factors underlying the association between TB
and DM using two approaches. Firstly, we identified and analyzed human macrophage subsets and studied the interactions between these human cells and a major pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and the specific metabolic changes involved using well-controlled in vitro systems. Next, we employed metabolomics to determine the impact of concurrent TB-DM on circulating metabolites in patient cohorts ex vivo. In this thesis we present evidence derived from in vitro experiments and from ex vivo observational data which collectively suggest a pathogenic role of atherogenic lipid species during TB development.
