Abstract
Tuberculosis is a lethal disease worldwide due to absences of early diagnostic processes. microRNAs have been denoted their functional and diagnostic potential in various diseases like cancer and tuberculosis. In the present study, we performed the miRNA isolation from the clinical confirm pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and healthy control cases. We have observed the up-regulation of serum microRNA-21 in serum sample of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients. Our results based on qRT-PCR confirmation and receiver operational curve (ROC) analysis indicate that the serum microRNA-21 can be explored as potential non invasive biomarker for early detection of pulmonary tuberculosis infection in human.
