Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a common infectious disease linked to host genetics and the innate immune response. It is vital to investigate new molecular mechanisms and efficient biomarkers for Tuberculosis because the pathophysiology of the disease is still unclear, and there aren't any precise diagnostic tools. This study downloaded three blood datasets from the GEO database, two of which (GSE19435 and 83456) were used to build a weighted gene co-expression network for searching hub genes associated with macrophage M1 by the CIBERSORT and WGCNA algorithms. Furthermore, 994 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were extracted from healthy and TB samples, four of which were associated with macrophage M1, naming RTP4, CXCL10, CD38, and IFI44. They were confirmed as upregulation in TB samples by external dataset validation (GSE34608) and quantitative real-time PCR analysis (qRT-PCR). CMap was used to predict potential therapeutic compounds for tuberculosis using 300 differentially expressed genes (150 downregulated and 150 upregulated genes), and six small molecules (RWJ-21757, phenamil, benzanthrone, TG-101348, metyrapone, and WT-161) with a higher confidence value were extracted. We used in-depth bioinformatics analysis to investigate significant macrophage M1-related genes and promising anti-Tuberculosis therapeutic compounds. However, more clinical trials were necessary to determine their effect on Tuberculosis.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), continues to pose a major public health problem and is the leading cause of mortality in people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV infection greatly increases the risk of developing TB even before CD4+ T-cell counts decrease. Co-infection provides reciprocal advantages to both pathogens and leads to acceleration of both diseases. In HIV-coinfected persons, the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis are particularly challenging. Intensifying integration of HIV and tuberculosis control programmes has an impact on reducing diagnostic delays, increasing early case detection, providing prompt treatment onset, and ultimately reducing transmission. In this Review, we describe our current understanding of how these two pathogens interact with each other, new sensitive rapid assays for TB, several new prevention methods, new drugs and regimens.
