As shown in Supplementary Table 4 and Figure 6, GSEA-based KEGG analysis indicated that the IL-17 signaling pathway (Figure 6A), the JAK-STAT signaling pathway (Figure 6B), the NF-κB signaling pathway (Figure 6C), the TNF signaling pathway (Figure 6D), and Cytokine-Cytokine receptor interactions (Figure 6E) were significantly enriched, and closely related to TB. Here, TNF is linked to tuberculosis.
