Article Title: Influenza A virus enhances its propagation through the modulation of Annexin-A1 dependent endosomal trafficking and apoptosis
doi: 10.1038/cdd.2016.19
Figure Lengend Snippet: Summary figure. During the IAV lifecycle, IAV binds to the host cell and is endocytosed into early and late endosomes. Uncoating occurs and the viral membrane fuses to the endosomal membrane, which allows viral RNP to enter the cytoplasm and nucleus. Transcription of viral RNA occurs, and translation of viral protein occurs through host machinery. Nuclear export of viral RNA and budding then occur. ( a ) ANXA1 is shown in this study to enhance binding of the virus to the host cell, and increases endocytosis of the virus. ( b ) ANXA1 is found in early and late endosomes near the nucleus, and silencing of ANXA1 results in lower nuclear infection. ( c ) More virus replication is observed in ANXA1 expressing cells. ( d ) In addition, IAV induces AKT phosphorylation to activate NF- k B and IKB phosphorylation and degradation. cIAP2 is enhanced by IAV, which is AKT dependent. ( e ) ANXA1 is shown to inhibit AKT activation and NF- k B activity. This may result in increased apoptosis. ( f ) ANXA1 promotes the release of cytochrome C from the mitochondria, enhances caspase 3/7 activation and PARP cleavage. ( g ) This leads to apoptosis and enhanced virus replication
Article Snippet: Briefly, Nunc Maxisorb (NUNC) 96 well plates were coated with 50 μ l of 1 μ g/ml goat anti-ANXA1 antibody (Santa Cruz) in PBS overnight at 4 °C.
