Tuberculosis: an underlying common-core host response network Patients suffering from tuberculosis (TB) show a high extent of variations in their gene expression patterns. Such heterogeneity poses major road blocks to our understanding of how hosts respond to the disease. A number of studies have profiled transcriptomes of human blood samples from TB patients, but a meta-analysis indicates that very few changes are consistently seen. The problem, to a large extent, lies with the way large data is analysed. We have used a genome-wide network approach to characterise the host response and have identified a common-core in the TB response networks of different patients, indicating the presence of unified host response mechanisms. This core network provides a comprehensive view into the most significant regulators of the infection-mediated biological processes across patients from different populations, and it shows partial reversals upon treatment. |
