Key role of regulated upon activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted, nonstructural protein1 and myeloperoxidase in cytokine storm induced by influenza virus PR-8 (A/H1N1) infection in A549 bronchial epithelial cells.

ABSTRACT: Influenza virus infection causes severe respiratory disease such as that due to avian influenza (H5N1). Influenza A viruses proliferate in human epithelial cells, which produce inflammatory cytokines/chemokines as a "cytokine storm" attenuated with the viral nonstructural protein 1 (NS1). Cytokine/chemokine production in A549 epithelial cells infected with influenza A/H1N1 virus (PR-8) or nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) plasmid was examined in vitro. Because tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) and regulated upon activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) are predominantly produced from cells infected with PR-8 virus, the effects of mRNA knockdown of these cytokines were investigated. Small interfering (si)TNF-? down-regulated RANTES expression and secretion of RANTES, interleukin (IL)-8, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). In addition, siRANTES suppressed interferon (IFN)-? expression and secretion of RANTES, IL-8, and MCP-1, suggesting that TNF-? stimulates production of RANTES, IL-8, MCP-1, and IFN-?, and RANTES also increased IL-8, MCP-1, and IFN-?. Furthermore, administration of TNF-? promoted increased secretion of RANTES, IL-8, and MCP-1. Administration of RANTES enhanced IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 production without PR-8 infection. These results strongly suggest that, as an initial step, TNF-? regulates RANTES production, followed by increase of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 and IFNs concentrations. At a later stage, cells transfected with viral NS1 plasmid showed production of a large amount of IL-8 and MCP-1 in the presence of the H(2)O(2)-myeloperoxidse (MPO) system, suggesting that NS1 of PR-8 may induce a "cytokine storm" from epithelial cells in the presence of an H(2)O(2)-MPO system.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 (FGF2 or basic FGF) mediates a wide range of biological functions, such as regulating proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, differentiation and injury repair. However, the roles of FGF2 and the underlying mechanisms of action in influenza virus (IAV) -induced lung injury remain largely unexplored. In this study, we firstly report miR-194 expression is significantly decreased in A549 cells following influenza virus A/Beijing/501/2009 (BJ501) infection. MiR-194 directly targeting FGF2, a novel antiviral regulator, could suppress FGF2 expression both in mRNA and protein levels. Overexpression miR-194 facilitate IAV replication via negatively regulating type I IFN production, and reintroduction of FGF2 abrogates miR-194-induced effects on promoting IAV replication. On the contrary, inhibition of miR-194 alleviate IAV induced lung injury via promoting type I IFNs antiviral activities in vivo. Importantly, contrary to FGF2 activated RIG-I signaling pathway, miR-194 suppressed TBK1 and IRF3 phosphorylation. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that miR-194-FGF2 axis play a vital role in IAV-induced lung injury, and miR-194 antagonism might be as a potential therapeutic target during IAV infection.
