Research progress in relationship of microRNA with tuberculosis

Abstract:

microRNAs（miRNAs） were a group of single strand non-coding RNAs wildly spread in animals，plants and virus. Accumu－lating evidence revealed the function of miRNA in cell differentiation，cell cross talking，development，immune defense，especially in the prospect of disease diagnosis and therapy. In this article，we reviewed the research progress of miRNA，including the structure，the relationship between tuberculosis（TB） and application prospects.
