Then, the genes that exhibit differential expression during oral candidiasis in <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic> were mapped with the list of human\u2013<jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> interactions to identify the corresponding host proteins. The identified host proteins were further compared with proteins specific to the tongue, resulting in a final list of 99 host proteins implicated in oral candidiasis. The interactions between host proteins and <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic> proteins were analyzed using the STRING database, enabling the construction of protein\u2013protein interaction networks. Similarly, the gene regulatory network of <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> proteins was reconstructed using data from the PathoYeastract and STRING databases. Core module proteins within the targeted host protein\u2013protein interaction network were identified using ModuLand, a Cytoscape plugin. The expression levels of the core module proteins under diseased conditions were assessed using data from the GSE169278 dataset. To gain insights into the functional characteristics of both host and pathogen proteins, ontology analysis was conducted using Enrichr and YeastEnrichr, respectively.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Result:<\/jats:bold> The analysis revealed that three <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> proteins, HHT21, CYP5, and KAR2, interact with three core host proteins, namely, ING4 (in the DNMT1 module), SGTA, and TOR1A. These interactions potentially impair the immediate immune response of the host against the pathogen. Additionally, differential expression analysis of fungal proteins and their transcription factors in <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>-infected oral cell lines indicated that Rob1p, Tye7p, and Ume6p could be considered candidate transcription factors involved in instigating the pathogenesis of oral candidiasis during host infection.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Our study provides a molecular map of the host\u2013pathogen interaction during oral candidiasis, along with potential targets for designing regimens to overcome oral candidiasis, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2023.1245445","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]],"date-time":"2023-10-12T17:45:21Z","timestamp":1697132721000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Decoding the host\u2013pathogen interspecies molecular crosstalk during oral candidiasis in humans: an in silico analysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Ali Rejwan","family":"Kabir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anis Ahmad","family":"Chaudhary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Malak O.","family":"Aladwani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soumita","family":"Podder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e210007","DOI":"10.20900\/immunometab20210007","article-title":"Diverse roles of Akt in T cells","volume":"3","author":"Abdullah","year":"2021","journal-title":"Immunometabolism"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"455","DOI":"10.1136\/pmj.78.922.455","article-title":"Oral candidiasis","volume":"78","author":"Akpan","year":"2002","journal-title":"Postgrad.
