The cause of tissue destruction leading to cavitation in TB is primarily due to the host inflammatory response. A matrix degrading phenotype develops in TB, in which the activity of host proteolytic enzymes, specifically matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is unopposed by their specific Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases (TIMPs), thus driving tissue destruction and cavitation in TB. This tissue destruction causes morbidity and mortality. MMP inhibition with doxycycline has shown to improve lung function in patients with chronic lung diseases but its use in TB is unclear.\n\nWe hypothesise that the MMP inhibitor doxycycline will reduce tissue destruction in human pulmonary tuberculosis.\n\nSpecific aims:\n\n* To investigate the MMP and TIMP secretion and gene expression in M. tuberculosis (M.tb) - infected primary neutrophils and monocytes from healthy volunteers taking doxycycline.\n* To investigate the intracellular signaling pathways modulated by doxycycline\n* To investigate the effects doxycycline has on biological markers of tissue destruction in TB patients\n* To assess the tolerability and side effects of doxycycline with concurrent standard TB therapy', 'detailedDescription': 'All TB patients are to keep to their standard anti-tuberculous treatment. A standardized questionnaire of symptoms, side-effects and weight shall be recorded. Induced sputum and plasma samples from all TB patients shall be analysed for MMPs and TIMPs before and after the administration of doxycycline for two weeks. In addition, neutrophils and mononuclear cells from TB patients and these shall be stimulated with live, virulent M. tuberculosis in a Biosafety Level 3 laboratory. The supernatants from these cells shall be analysed for MMPs and TIMPs.\n\nHealthy volunteers shall be recruited and administered doxycycline for 2 weeks. Neutrophils and mononuclear cells will be isolated from blood prior to treatment, at weeks 2 and 8 and infected with M.tb. Cell culture supernatants and nucleic acids will be harvested. MMP and TIMP expression will be analysed using luminex array and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Intracellular signaling pathways will be examined with a human phospho-kinase array. Matrix destruction will be assessed using collagen quantitative fluorescent assays.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '21 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Healthy Volunteers 10 volunteers will be recruited comprising 5 females and 5 males.\n\nInclusion criteria:\n\n1.
