- Abstract
Antrodin C, a bioactive component of Taiwanofungus camphoratus, exhibits good immunophysiological and antitumour activities, including a broad spectrum of anticancer effects. Exogenous additives can bind to metabolites during the submerged culture of T. camphoratus and affect secondary metabolite yields. However, the lack of molecular genetic studies on T. camphoratus has hindered the study of the antrodin C biosynthetic pathway. In this study, we conducted a ribonucleic acid-sequencing-based transcriptional analysis to identify the differentially expressed genes involved in the synthesis of antrodin C by T. camphoratus, using inositol and maleic acid (MAC) as exogenous additives. The addition of inositol significantly upregulated carbohydrate and sugar metabolism pathway genes (E3.2.1.14, UGDH, and IVD). When MAC was used, amino and nucleotide sugar metabolism and starch and sucrose metabolism pathways were significantly inhibited, and the associated genes (E3.2.1.14 and E3.2.1.58) were also significantly downregulated. The biosynthesis pathway genes for ubiquinone and other terpene quinones (COQ2, ARO8, and wrbA), which may play an important role in antrodin C synthesis, were significantly downregulated. This study advances our understanding of how the additives inositol and MAC affect metabolite biosynthesis in T. camphorates. This could be beneficial in proposing potential strategies for improving antrodin C production using a genetic approach.
