miRNA expression levels in airway epithelial cells in next-generation sequencing. The figure shows the expression numbers of the eight miRNAs used in the diagnosis of active TB and LTBI in bronchial epithelium (BE), tracheal epithelium (TE), alveolar epithelium (AE), and bronchial smooth muscle (BS) cells. The miRNA expression profiles of the BE (BE-1, BE-2, and BE-4), TE (TE-2, TE-3), AE (AE-1, AE-2, and AE-3), and BS (BS-1, BS-2) cells were obtained from three, two, three, and two healthy volunteers, respectively
