Triamcinolone acetonide induces the autophagy of Ag85B-treated WI-38 cells via SIRT1/FOXO3 pathway.

Background: Tracheobronchial stenosis due to tuberculosis (TSTB) seriously threatens the health of tuberculosis patients. The inflammation and autophagy of fibroblasts affect the development of TSTB. Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) can regulate the autophagy of fibroblasts.
