ABCB1 and tuberculosis: We conducted a correlation analysis between ABCB1 expression and three groups of genes: (i) transcription factors that regulate inflammation, including STAT 1-3-6, SOCS3 [30,31,32,33,34] and hypoxia-related markers HIF1a [35,36,37]; (ii) key cytokines involved in granuloma formation and the regulation of TB inflammation, such as IL6, IL10, INFg, TGFb1, TNFa, IL1b [38,39]; (iii) markers of pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages, CD86, CD206, CD163, TGM, as well as T-lymphocytes markers CD3D, GZMB.
