Background This study aimed to investigate the differential expression levels of the cGAS-STING pathway in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of spinal tuberculosis (TB) patients with different progression and its feasibility as a diagnostic marker. Methods Peripheral blood and medical records of 25 patients with spinal TB and 10 healthy individuals, were prospectively collected and analyzed. PBMCs and serum were extracted from peripheral blood and the expression levels of the cGAS-STING pathway in PBMCs were measured by real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and serum interferon β (IFN-β) expression levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of Interferon regulatory Factor 3 (IRF3) in PBMCs was measured using western blot. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 26.0 statistical package. Results The results showed that the expression level of the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IRF3 was significantly higher in PBMCs ( P ?
