PI3K signalling during influenza A virus infections

Abstract: Recent work has demonstrated that the PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) signalling pathway is important for efficient influenza A virus replication. Activation of PI3K in virus-infected cells is mediated by the viral NS1 protein, which binds directly to the p85beta regulatory subunit of PI3K and causes the PI3K-dependent phosphorylation of Akt (protein kinase B). Given that recombinant influenza A viruses unable to activate PI3K signalling are attenuated in tissue culture, the PI3K pathway could be a novel targ… Show more

“…First, we infected different human and murine cells with LCMV and found no evidence for the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis, as assessed by activation of caspases 9 and 3/7, cytochrome c release, and PARP cleavage. Similar to other RNA viruses, including SeV (44,48), influenza virus (49), and JUNV (50), LCMV was found to activate the anti-apoptotic PI3K/Akt pathway early in infection. However, inhibition of PI3K did not accelerate apoptosis in LCMV-infected cells, arguing against a crucial antiapoptotic function of the virus-induced activation of PI3K/Akt.…”

“…Thus far, there is no evidence to suggest that Tyr-89 is phosphorylated during virus infection. Thus, it is not clear whether the SH2 binding motif on NS1 mediates the NS1-p85␤ interaction since mutation of Met-93 could potentially destabilize the NS1 dimer (12). Mutation of the p85␤ SH2 domain may help to resolve this question.…”

“…Lysates were normalized for protein concentration using a bicinchoninic acid assay (Pierce) and subjected to Western Blot analysis. PI3K activity was assessed through analysis of Akt phosphorylation as previously described (46,47). For these studies, lysates were generated in PhosphoSafe buffer (Chemicon) with an added protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma-Aldrich) and subjected to Western blot analysis.…”
