Download scientific diagram | Caseum development is the process of lipid enrichment with necrosis, leading to cause treatment failure. Following the formation of granuloma against Mtb infection, necrotized foamy macrophages that surround the caseous center gradually begin to form the lipid-rich environment of the caseum. Caseum includes high TAG, cholesterol, lactosylceramide, and cholesterol ester. These lipid species are utilized for the replication of Mtb as well as induce a dormancy state that decreases drug efficacy. In the granuloma, Mtb-infected macrophages become lipid-rich foamy macrophages. Moreover, caseous necrosis with the necrotic death of infected foamy macrophages by activated T cells produces interferons and activates adjacent macrophages to lead to caseous necrosis. In addition, TAG-rich foamy macrophages are present in necrotic granulomas, and the presence of these macrophages is associated with a high level of TNF-α in the necrotic core. Take together acceleration of necrotic cell death in caseous foci provides nutrients for replication and confers TB drug tolerance to Mtb, suggesting inhibition of mycobacterial clearance, resulting in treatment failure.
