Allelic-Specific Regulation of xCT Expression Increases Susceptibility to Tuberculosis by Modulating microRNA-mRNA Interactions

ABSTRACT xCT forms part of the xc− cysteine-glutamate antiporter which inhibits antimicrobial inflammatory immune functions and thus increases susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB). However, the associations between xCT gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to TB, as well as whether these modulate xCT...
