    Abstract

    Influenza A viruses are important pathogens that cause acute respiratory diseases and annual epidemics in humans. Macrophages recognize influenza A virus infection with their pattern recognition receptors, and are involved in the activation of proper innate immune response. Here, we have used high-throughput subcellular proteomics combined with bioinformatics to provide a global view of host cellular events that are activated in response to influenza A virus infection in human primary macrophages. We show that viral infection regulates the expression and/or subcellular localization of more than one thousand host proteins at early phases of infection. Our data reveals that there are dramatic changes in mitochondrial and nuclear proteomes in response to infection. We show that a rapid cytoplasmic leakage of lysosomal proteins, including cathepsins, followed by their secretion, contributes to inflammasome activation and apoptosis seen in the infected macrophages. Also, our results demonstrate that P2X<SUB>7</SUB> receptor and src tyrosine kinase activity are essential for inflammasome activation during influenza A virus infection. Finally, we show that influenza A virus infection is associated with robust secretion of different danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) suggesting an important role for DAMPs in host response to influenza A virus infection. In conclusion, our high-throughput quantitative proteomics study provides important new insight into host-response against influenza A virus infection in human primary macrophages.


    Author Summary

    Influenza A viruses are negative-stranded RNA viruses that are capable of infecting a variety of avian and mammalian species. These viruses are responsible for the annual epidemics that cause severe illnesses in millions of people worldwide. The initial innate immune responses to influenza A viruses have to restrict virus spread before the adaptive immune responses fully develop. Macrophages are the key players of innate immune system and they have a central role in the activation of host response during viral infections. However, the host factors that are involved in the activation of innate immune response during influenza A virus infection are incompletely understood. Here, we have characterized in detail the nuclear, mitochondrial and cytoplasmic proteomes, as well as the secretome from influenza A virus-infected human primary macrophages to get a global view of host factors that are affected by the infection. Our approach allowed us to identify several novel host factors that contribute to innate immune system during influenza A virus infections. These include lysomal proteases cathepsins, P2X<SUB>7</SUB> receptor, src family tyrosine kinases as well as several danger-associated molecular patterns.
