MicroRNA-223 Is Upregulated in Active Tuberculosis Patients and Inhibits Apoptosis of Macrophages by Targeting FOXO3
27 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Macrophage apoptosis is a host innate defense mechanism against tuberculosis (TB). AIM: In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-223 (miR-223) in macrophage apoptosis of TB. METHODS: We analyzed apoptosis in peripheral blood macrophages of active TB patients, infected human macrophages (TDMs and MDMs) with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strain H37Rv, and observed the...
