Understanding the immune mechanisms that prevent clinical progression from latent TB infection (LTBI) to active TB disease is critical for the development of next-generation vaccines and biomarkers.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We characterized the transcriptomic, metabolic, and functional programs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) antigen-stimulated peripheral CD4\n                      <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                      T stem cell (T-SCM), central (T-CM), transitional (T-TM), and effector (T-EM) memory subsets from individuals with remote LTBI. We utilized a multi-platform validation strategy that integrated RNA-sequencing data with protein-level metabolic profiling using \u201cMet-Flow\u201d cytometry and functional growth restriction assays to link memory CD4\n                      <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                      T cell differentiation states to immunometabolism and antimycobacterial function.

T-SCM and T-CM subsets exhibited elevated mitochondrial activity and oxidative metabolism (fatty acid oxidation), supporting their proliferative capacity. In contrast, T-TM and T-EM subsets underwent glycolytic reprogramming and engaged the pentose phosphate pathway, which fueled enhanced cytokine production and Mtb growth restriction. Importantly, we observed that non-progressors exhibit fatty acid oxidation-driven, stem\/central memory-like signatures, while progressors and active TB cases display elevated exhaustion markers, glycolytic reprogramming and pro-inflammatory profiles aligned with disease progression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Collectively, findings from our proof-of-concept study suggest metabolic state as a key axis connecting Mtb antigen-induced memory T cell differentiation, restimulation-induced transcriptional programming, and durability of immune control.
