Increased autophagy activity regulated by LC3B gene promoter DNA methylation is associated with progression to active pulmonary tuberculosis disease

Abstract 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 an...
