Differential Expression of Long Non-Coding RNAs and mRNAs in the active tuberculosis patients, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients, cured tuberculosis subjects and healthy controls

The expression of the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the active tuberculosis patients,multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients,cured tuberculosis subjects and healthy controls were scanned using lncRNA microarray.The Arraystar Human LncRNA Microarray version 4.0 (Agilent Technologies) was used,containing 40173 lncRNA probes and 20730 mRNA probes for the detection of lncRNAs and mRNAs in the sample. Non-coding RNAs and mRNAs profiling by array Plasma samples from active tuberculosis patients,multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients,cured tuberculosis subjects,healthy controls were collected.
