Project description:The cellular transcriptome of C57BL/6 mouse lungs was profiled by mRNA-Seq analysis at multiple time points in response to infection with influenza A/California/04/09 (H1N1), A/Wyoming/03/03 (H3N2), and A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) HALo virus. The Influenza A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) HALo mutant virus is an attenuated H5N1 virus generated from wild-type Influenza A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) virus as described in Steel, J., et al. J Virol. 2009 Feb; 83(4):1742-53. A/Wyoming/03/03 (H3N2) influenza virus replicates poorly in mice and lung tissue collected from mice inoculated with this virus did not carry viral loads detectable by plaque assay.

Gene expression in Calu-3 cells after influenza H3N2 and H11N9 infection

Project description:Airway epithelial cells are the initial site of infection with influenza viruses. The innate immune responses of airway epithelial cells to infection have the potential to limit virus replication and induce effective adaptive immune responses. However, relatively little is known about the importance of this innate anti-viral response to infection. Avian influenza viruses are a potential source of future pandemics, therefore it is critical to examine the effectiveness of the host anti-viral system to different influenza viruses. We used a human influenza (H3N2) and a low pathogenic avian influenza (H11N9) to assess and compare the anti-viral responses of bronchial epithelial cells (BECs). After infection, the H3N2 virus replicated more effectively than the H11N9 strain in BECs. This was not due to differential expression of different sialic acid residues on BECs but was attributed to the interference of the host anti-viral responses by H3N2. The H3N2 strain induced a delay in anti-viral signaling and impaired release of type I and type III interferons (IFNs) compared to the H11N9 virus. We then transfected the gene encoding for non-structural (NS) 1 protein into the BECs and the H3N2 NS1 induced a greater inhibition of anti-viral responses compared to the H11N9 NS1. While the low pathogenic avian influenza virus was capable of infecting BECs, the human influenza virus replicated more effectively than avian influenza virus in BECs and this may be at least in part due to a differential ability of the two NS1 proteins to inhibit anti-viral responses. This suggests that the subversion of human anti-viral responses may be an important requirement for influenza viruses to adapt to the human host and induce disease.

Host gene expression signatures of influenza A H1N1 and H3N2 virus infection in adults

Project description:Diagnosis of influenza A infection is currently based on clinical symptoms and pathogen detection. Use of host peripheral blood gene expression data to classify individuals with influenza A virus infection represents a novel approach to infection diagnosis We used microarrays to assay peripheral blood gene expression at baseline and every 8 hours for 7 days following intranasal influenza A H1N1 or H3N2 inoculation in healthy volunteers. We determined groups of coexpressed genes that classified symptomatic influenza infection. We then tested this gene expression classifier in patients with naturally acquired respiratory illness. We experimentally inoculated healthy volunteers with intranasal influenza A H1N1 and H3N2. Symptoms were documented and peripheral blood samples drawn into PAXgene RNA tubes for RNA isolation. We further enrolled patients presenting to the Emergency Department with naturally acquired respiratory illness, and documented symptoms and collected PAXgene RNA samples for RNA isolation.
