摘要: Penicillium marneffei (P. marneffei) is a human pathogen which persists in macrophages and threatens the immunocompromised patients. To clarify mechanisms involved, we evaluated effect of c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 2 (JNK1/2) on cytokine expression, phagosomal maturation multiplication P. marneffei-stimulated macrophages. induced rapid phosphorylation JNK1/2. Using specific inhibitor JNK1/2 (SP600125), found that inhibition suppressed marneffei-induced tumor necrosis factor-α IL-10 production. In addition, presence SP600125 increased acidification decreased intracellular replication. These data suggest may play an important role promoting replication marneffei. Our findings further indicate through pathway attenuate immune response macrophage antifungal function.
