From the Mycobacterium tuberculosis multiplies
within the macrophage phagosome and requires iron for growth. We
examined the route(s) by which intracellular M. tuberculosis acquires iron. During intracellular growth of
the virulent Erdman M. tuberculosis strain in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM), M. tuberculosis
acquisition of 59Fe from transferrin (TF) provided
extracellularly (exogenous source) was compared with acquisition when
MDM were loaded with 59Fe from TF prior to M. tuberculosis infection (endogenous sources). M. tuberculosis 59Fe acquisition required viable
bacteria and was similar from exogenous and endogenous sources at
24 h and greater from exogenous iron at 48 h. Interferon-

treatment of MDM reduced 59Fe uptake from TF 51% and TF
receptor expression by 34%. Despite this, intraphagosomal M. tuberculosis iron acquisition in IFN-
-treated cells was
decreased by only 30%. Macrophages from hereditary hemochromatosis patients have altered iron metabolism. Intracellular M. tuberculosis acquired markedly less iron in MDM from these
individuals than in MDM from healthy donors, regardless of the iron
source (exogenous and endogenous): 36 ± 3.8% and 17 ± 9.6% of control, respectively. Thus, intraphagosomal M. tuberculosis can acquire iron from both extracellular TF and
endogenous macrophage sources. Acquisition of iron from macrophage
cytoplasmic iron pools may be critical for the intracellular growth of
M. tuberculosis. This acquisition is altered by
IFN-
treatment to a small extent, but is markedly reduced in
macrophages from hemochromatosis patients.
