Increased autophagy activity regulated by LC3B gene promoter DNA methylation is associated with progression to active pulmonary tuberculosis disease
5 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aims to explore the role of autophagy-associated genes (ATG) and their epigenetic markers in the progression of mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) infection, and to test the effects of de-methylation agents on macrophage functions against TB. METHODS: ATG expressions and their gene promoter DNA methylation levels of blood immune cells were measured in 60 patients with active pulmonary TB...
