GO and KEGG analysis were performed to predict the potential functions of the lncRNA-mRNA-miRNA networks, and lncRNA-NR_038221 was found to be the most related with TB, of which the GO items were enriched in the detection of molecules of bacterial origin, in the positive regulation of extracellular matrix organization and in the KEGG of JAK-STAT signalling pathway and TB (Fig. 6). Here, SOAT1 is linked to tuberculosis.
