KRT8 and tuberculosis: qPCR analysis showed that the expression levels of 9 lncRNAs differed significantly and were consistent with the microarray results, whereas the expression patterns of lncRNA FBXL5 and lncRNA KRT8 were not consistent with the microarray results; there was no significant difference in the expression levels of lncRNA GBA between the TB and HC groups (Figure 4; Table 3).
