Whole RNA profiling of Tuberculosis-diabetes comorbidity linked to diabetes with poor glycemic control
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is a disease that hinders tuberculosis (TB) control strategies worldwide. TB infection, progression, morbidity, treatment success, adverse effects, relapse, and mortality are worse in these susceptible populations. Therefore, expanding the partially known molecular mechanisms leading to TB-DM2 comorbidity may be essential to face both epidemics. Consequently, a transcriptomic study was conducted on TB-DM2 comorbidity, associated with patients with DM2 who have poor glycaemic control (PDM2), since they have a higher risk of getting TB. Human blood samples from healthy controls (CTRL, HbA1c < 6.5%), TB ( HbA1c < 6.5%), TB-DM2, DM2 (HbA1c < 8.9%), and PDM2 (HbA1c > 10%) groups (n=4 each) were analyzed using high-density human GE 4X44K v2 differential expression microarrays.
