Profiling whole-tissue metabolic reprogramming during cutaneous poxvirus infection and clearance

IMPORTANCE: Human poxvirus infections have caused significant public health burdens both historically and recently during the unprecedented global Mpox virus outbreak. Although vaccinia virus (VACV) infection of mice is a commonly used model to explore the anti-poxvirus immune response, little is known about the metabolic changes that occur in vivo during infection. We hypothesized that the metabolome of VACV-infected skin would reflect the increased energetic requirements of both virus-infected cells and immune cells recruited to sites of infection. Therefore, we profiled whole VACV-infected skin using untargeted mass spectrometry to define the metabolome during infection, complementing these experiments with flow cytometry and transcriptomics. We identified specific metabolites, including nucleotides, itaconic acid, and glutamine, that were differentially expressed during VACV infection. Together, this study offers insight into both virus-specific and immune-mediated metabolic pathways that could contribute to the clearance of cutaneous poxvirus infection.
