Alteration of human macrophages microRNA expression profile upon infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved multiple mechanisms to manipulate its cellular niche for its own advantage. Many efforts have been made to understand basal mechanisms of mycobacterial infections. However, the underlying molecular regulation is not fully understood. Recently, a new class of non-coding, small RNAs, called microRNAs (miRNAs), has emerged as important regulators in biological...
