circRNA_SLC8A1 Promotes the Survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Macrophages by Upregulating Expression of Autophagy-Related Protein SQSTM1/p62 to Activate the NF-κB Pathway

Researchers found that miR-20b-5p expression was decreased, while sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) protein expression was increased in a time- and dose-dependent manner in the human macrophage U937 in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
