IRF1 as a potential biomarker in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a major global public health problem. The purpose of this study was to find biomarkers that can be used to diagnose tuberculosis. We used four NCBI GEO data sets to conduct analysis. Among the four data sets, GSE139825 is lung tissue microarray, and GSE83456, GSE19491 and GSE50834 are blood microarray. The differential genes of GSE139825 and GSE83456 were 68 and 226, and intersection genes were 11. Gene ontology (GO) analyses of 11 intersection genes revealed that the changes were mostly enriched in regulation of leucocyte cell-cell adhesion and regulation of T-cell activation. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of DEGs revealed that the host response in TB strongly involves cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions and folate b
