Transcriptional network controlled by Candida albicans treated by a gemini quaternary ammonium compound, 1, 5-bis(dodecyl)-1, 1, 3, 5, 5-pentamethyl-3-aza-1, 5-pentanediammonium ditetrafluoroborate (PMT12-BF4)
In order to identify genes regulated by PMT12-BF4, we compared the genome-wide expression profile in wild-type strain SC5314 untreated or treated with PMT12-BF4 via RNA sequencing. Results showed that in C. albicans 69 genes were up-regulated and 30 genes were down-regulated in the presence of PMT12-BF4. Up-regulated genes were mostly involved in iron ion-related functions (e.g. RBT5, CFL5, CFL4, FET34, FET31 etc.), and down-regulated genes were largely involved in oxidoreductase activity, vitamin binding and coenzyme binding. Overall design: Total mRNAs extracted from C. albicans wild-type SC5314 treated or untreated with PMT12-BF4 were analyzed using RNA sequencing.
