Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), an active lipid compound derived from arachidonic acid, regulates different stages of the immune response of the host during several pathologies such as chronic infections or cancer. Manipulation of PGE2 levels was proposed as an approach for countering the Type I IFN signature of tuberculosis (TB), but very limited information exists about this pathway in patients with active TB. Here, we demonstrated that PGE2 exerts a potent immunosuppressive action during the immune response of the human host against M. tuberculosis. Thus, we showed that PGE2 inhibited both lymphoproliferation and cytokine production of proinflammatory cytokines, together with a significant reduction of the surface expression of several immunological receptors in human cells. However, PGE2 promoted the autophagic flux of antigen-stimulated monocytes, even in the presence of IFN. In this way, the attenuation of inflammation and immunopathology caused by an excessive immune response emerges as an attractive therapeutic target. Together, our findings contribute to the knowledge of Mtb-resistance mediated by PGE2 and highlight the potential of this lipid mediator as a tool to improve anti-TB treatment.
