Conclusion

Method for exosomes

Refs

miR-484, miR-425, and miR-96

Serum

The findings of this research indicate that exosomal miRNAs have a potential capacity for the diagnosis of active TB

Mortaz et al. (2019)

miR-20a, miR-20b, miR-26a, miR-106a, miR-191, miR-486

Plasma

This study's results have indicated that the combination of exosomal miRNAs and EHRs might enhance the medical diagnosis of TBM and PTB

Hu et al. (2019)

hsa-let-7e-5p, hsa-let-7d-5p, hsa-miR-450a-5p, and hsa-miR-140-5p, hsa-miR-1246, hsa-miR-2110, hsa-miR-370-3P, hsa-miR-28-3p, and hsa-miR-193b-5p

Serum

This research's outcomes recommended that exosomal miRNA use could promote novel molecular targets to distinguish LTBI and active TB

Differential centrifugation, filteration, and ultrafiltration

Lyu et al. (2019)

hsa-miR-140-3p, hsa-miR-3184-5p and hsa-miR-423-3p

Serum

The study’s findings imply the preferential packing of RNA loads for exosomes at various steps of Mtb infection and promote further analysis and production of TB pathogenesis

Differential centrifugation, filteration, and ultrafiltration

Lyu et al. (2018)

miR-1224, -1293, -425, -4467, -4732, -484, -5094, -6848–6849, -4488 and -96

PBMCs

This study's findings offer support for the release of unique exosomal miRNAs from BCG-infected MDMs, which highlighted the interaction between host and pathogen following infection

Total exosome isolation (TEI) reagent (Invitrogen by the Thermo Fisher Scientific Corporation, Waltham, MA, USA)

Alipoor et al. (2017)

Over 100 transcripts were found, such as 99b-5p, Mmu 30c, Mmu 30a, Mmu 191, Mmu 378, Mmu 210, Mmu 423-5p and Mmu 486-5p

Cell culture, Mtb infected RAW264.7 macrophages

This study has shown that there is discriminating packing of RNA material in exosomes after Mtb infection

Centrifugetion, filtration and linear sucrose gradient

Singh et al. (2015a)

miR-205-5p, miR-483-5p, miR-375, miR-200c-3p, miR-429, miR-200b-3p, miR-200a-3p, miR-203a-3p, and miR-141-3p

Pleural effusion

This study's outcomes have revealed that distinct miRNA profiles could be promising as biomarkers for differential determination of PEs with further confirmation dependent on larger cohorts
