ABSTRACT
Talaromycosis is a fatal mycosis caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus Talaromyces marneffei (T. marneffei). The pathogenic mechanisms of talaromycosis are still poorly understood. This work combined metabolomics, transcriptomics, and verification experiments in vivo and in vitro to detect metabolic proï¬les and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in T. marneffei infected and uninfected macrophages to explore possible pathogenesis and underlying mechanisms. A total of 256 differential metabolites (117 up-regulated and 148 down-regulated) and 1320 DEGs (1286 up-regulated and 34 down-regulated) were identified between the two groups. Integrative metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis showed sphingolipid signaling pathway is the most inï¬uential. Veriï¬cation experiments showed that compared with the control group, the production of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and the expression of the S1PR1, S1PR2, phosphor-PI3K, and phosphor-Akt genes involved in the sphingolipid signaling pathway have signiï¬cantly increased in the T. marneffei infection group (p < 0.05). T. marneffei activates the S1PR2/PI3K/Akt pathways in J774A.1 macrophage, regulation of the S1P singling might serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for talaromycosis.
