Dynamic m6 A profiles reveal the role of YTHDC2-TLR2 signaling axis in Talaromyces marneffei infection

© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

Talaromyces marneffei (TM) immune evasion is an important factor leading to the high mortality rate of Penicilliosis marneffei. N6 -methyladenosine (m6 A) plays important roles in host immune response to various pathogen infections, yet its role in TM and HIV/TM coinfection remains largely unexplored. Here we reported genome-wide transcriptional m6 A profiles of TM mono-infection and HIV/TM coinfection. Our finding revealed dynamic alterations in global m6 A levels and upregulation of the m6 A reader YTH N6 -methyladenosine RNA binding protein C2 (YTHDC2) in TM-infected macrophages. Knockdown of YTHDC2 in TM-infected cells showed an elevated expression of TLR2 through m6 A-dependence, along with upregulation of TNF-α and IL1-β. Overall, we characterized the m6 A profiles of the host and fungus before and after TM infection, and demonstrated that YTHDC2 mediates the key m6 A site of TLR2 to exert its function. These findings provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms and novel therapeutic approaches for TM diseases.
