Following incubation, plasma samples were analysed through untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance (1<sup>H</sup>-NMR) spectroscopy. Metabolomic data were processed using MetaboAnalyst, with differential metabolites identified through multivariate statistical analyses. <b>Results:</b> Metabolic profiling of PBMCs revealed distinct differences in response to <i>M.tb</i> antigens between CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD4<sup>+</sup>/CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell activation. CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells exhibited enhanced glycolysis, with elevated levels of metabolites that are linked largely to the Warburg effect. Additionally, vitamin D levels were found to correlate with certain metabolites, suggesting a role in modulating immune responses. <b>Conclusions:</b> These findings suggest a complex interplay between immune cell metabolism and activation in HIV+ individuals. The study demonstrates that HIV and <i>M.tb</i> co-infection significantly influences the broader metabolic profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), highlighting the altered metabolic pathways that are critical in immune responses and disease progression. These findings contribute to the understanding of immunometabolism in co-infection and emphasise the need for further research into targeted metabolic interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":18496,"journal":{"name":"Metabolites","volume":"15 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144150886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
