Up-regulated long noncoding RNA AC007128.1 and its genetic polymorphisms associated with Tuberculosis susceptibility.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression. In this study, we explored the association between the expression of lncRNA AC007128.1 and TB susceptibility.

Methods

Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs12333784, rs6463794, and rs720964) of lncRNA AC007128.1 were selected using the 1000 Genomes Project database and offline software Haploview V4.2, and were genotyped by a customized 2×48-Plex SNPscan™ Kit.

Results

We identified two differentially expressed lncRNA including AC007128.1 and AP001065.3 in comparisons of expression profiles between ATB vs. LTBI, LTBI vs. HCs, and AC700128.1 expression was specifically and significantly up-regulated in TB
