A significant portion of M.tb infections maintain an asymptomatic nature, recognizably termed as latent tuberculosis infections (LTBI). The complexities inherent to its diagnosis significantly hamper the initiatives aimed at its control and eventual eradication.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title><jats:p>Utilizing the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), we procured two dedicated microarray datasets, labeled GSE39940 and GSE37250. The technique of weighted correlation network analysis was employed to discern the co-expression modules from the differentially expressed genes derived from the first dataset, GSE39940. Consequently, a pyroptosis-related module was garnered, facilitating the identification of a pyroptosis-related signature (PRS) diagnostic model through the application of a neural network algorithm. With the aid of Single Sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA), we further examined the immune cells engaged in the pyroptosis process in the context of active ATB. Lastly, dataset GSE37250 played a crucial role as a validating cohort, aimed at evaluating the diagnostic prowess of our model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In executing the Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), a total of nine discrete co-expression modules were lucidly elucidated. Module 1 demonstrated a potent correlation with pyroptosis. A predictive diagnostic paradigm comprising three pyroptosis-related signatures, specifically AIM2, CASP8, and NAIP, was devised accordingly. The established PRS model exhibited outstanding accuracy across both cohorts, with the area under the curve (AUC) being respectively articulated as 0.946 and 0.787.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present research succeeded in identifying the pyroptosis-related signature within the pathogenetic framework of ATB. Furthermore, we developed a diagnostic model which exuded a remarkable potential for efficient and accurate diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2023.1273140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,1]],"date-time":"2023-11-01T17:39:31Z","timestamp":1698860371000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Identification and validation of a pyroptosis-related signature in identifying active tuberculosis via a deep learning algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yuchen","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lifan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fengying","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanchun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tube.2015.03.010","article-title":"Neutrophil apoptosis in the context of tuberculosis infection","volume":"95","author":"Alem\u00e1n","year":"2015","journal-title":"Tuberc.
