Abstract

Monocyte miRNAs govern both protective and pathological responses during tuberculosis (TB) through their differential expression and emerged as potent targets for biomarker discovery and host-directed therapeutics. Thus, this study examined the miRNA profile of sorted monocytes across the TB disease spectrum [drug-resistant TB (DR-TB), drug-sensitive TB (DS-TB), and latent TB] and in healthy individuals (HC) to understand the underlying pathophysiology and their regulatory mechanism.
