Spatiotemporal Analysis of Mycobacterium-Dependent Macrophage Response

There are three main outcomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection: clearance, dissemination, and containment - in which the immune system physically isolates the invading microbes in lesions called granulomas. These structures are a hallmark of the disease and play an important role in the progression of infection. However, current in vitro and in vivo methods are ill adapted for spatial and temporal quantification of host-pathogen dynamics, which are necessary for the development of granulomas. We have developed an integrated 3D in vitro and computational platform with longterm time-lapse confocal imaging to provide a semi-automatic analysis of host-pathogen interaction data. Through exploratory data analysis, we conduct a preliminary investigation of how the intracellular bacterial load of macrophages can impact cellular spatiotemporal dynamics during Mycobacterium infection.
