This variation may result in the decreased level of HLA-DQA1 mRNA and increased serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, which finally led the STB susceptibility.
This study intended to explore the expression of ADAMTS-4, VCAM-1, and TAK1 in cartilage tissue obtained from spinal tuberculosis patients and their inter-relationships, aiming to provide new treatment approaches for spinal tuberculosis.
Matrix metalloproteinase-1 promoter -1607 bp 1G/2G polymorphism associated with increased risk of spinal tuberculosis in Southern Chinese Han population.
MiR-133a could inhibit Collagen degradation by down-regulating MMP-9 expression to attenuate the destructive effects of spinal TB on intervertebral disc.

The TT genotype and low BMP-4 gene expression; the -66GG genotype and high OPN gene expression; and the ff genotype and low VDR gene expression significantly correlated with the clinical severity of spinal TB.

Vitamin D deficiency, VDR, and TLR-2 polymorphisms did not affect the 6-month disability.Vitamin D deficiency and VDR gene polymorphisms are significantly more prevalent in people with pulmonary and spinal tuberculosis.
