Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae lysates increase heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein secretion and exosome release in human middle-ear epithelial cells.

ABSTRACT: Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), one of the most common acute otitis media (OM) pathogens, is postulated to promote middle-ear epithelial remodeling in the progression of OM from acute to chronic. The goal of this study was to examine early quantitative proteomic secretome effects of NTHi lysate exposure in a human middle-ear epithelial cell (HMEEC) line. NTHi lysates were used to stimulate HMEEC, and conditional quantitative stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture of cell secretions was performed. Mass spectrometry analysis identified 766 proteins across samples. Of interest, several heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) were regulated by NTHi lysate treatment, especially hnRNP A2B1 and hnRNP Q, known to be implicated in microRNA (miRNA) packaging in
