HIV infection markedly increases the likelihood of latent tuberculosis infection progressing to active TB. Information on expression of TLR-2, myeloid differentiation factor (MyD88), IL-1R- associated kinase-4 (IRAK4) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) in HIV+LTBI+ and HIV+ patients with active TB disease is limited. We found significantly higher percentages of CD14+TLR2+ cells in PBMCs of HIV+LTBI+ patients compared to HIV-LTBI+ individuals. γ-irradiated Mtb was unable to induce MyD88, IRAK4 expression and IL-1β, MCP-1, IP-10 production in HIV+LTBI+ patients. Pleural fluids from HIV+TB+ patients had low IL-1β, MCP-1, IP-10 and high IL-10, TNF-α production. γ-irradiated Mtb stimulated CD14+ cells from HIV+TB+ patients had low IL-1β, MCP-1, IP-10 production and MyD88, IRAK4 and similar NF-kB expression compared to those from of HIV-TB+ patients. Our results suggest defective MyD88, IRAK4 but not NF-kB inhibit IL-1β, MCP-1 and IP-10 production by CD14+ cells of HIV+ individuals with LTBI and active TB disease in peripheral blood and at the site of disease.
