Mycobacterial arabinogalactan (AG) is an essential cell wall component of mycobacteria and a frequent structural and bio‐synthetical target for anti‐tuberculosis (TB) drug development. Here, we report that mycobacterial AG is recognized by galectin‐9 and exacerbates mycobacterial infection. Administration of AG‐specific aptamers inhibits cellular infiltration caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) or Mycobacterium bovis BCG, and moderately increases survival of Mtb‐infected mice or Mycobacterium marinum‐infected zebrafish. AG interacts with carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) 2 of galectin‐9 with high affinity, and galectin‐9 associates with transforming growth factor β‐activated kinase 1 (TAK1) via CRD2 to trigger subsequent activation of extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) as well as induction of the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Moreover, deletion of galectin‐9 or inhibition of MMPs blocks AG‐induced pathological impairments in the lung, and the AG‐galectin‐9 axis aggravates the process of Mtb infection in mice. These results demonstrate that AG is an important virulence factor of mycobacteria and galectin‐9 is a novel receptor for Mtb and other mycobacteria, paving the way for the development of novel effective TB immune modulators. Arabinogalactan is a virulence factor of mycobacteria. Binding of galectin‐9 to mycobacterial arabinogalactan triggers matrix metalloproteinases via TAK1‐ERK signaling, which promotes mycobacterial infection and increases lung injury.
