Abstract

The influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) protein primarily aids in the release of progeny virions from infected cells. Here, we demonstrate a novel role for NA in enhancing host cell survival by activating the Src/Akt signaling axis via an interaction with carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6, CEACAM6/CD66c (C6). NA/C6 interaction lead to increased tyrosyl phosphorylation of Src, FAK, Akt, GSK3β and Bcl-2, which affects cell survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation and apoptosis. siRNA-mediated suppression of C6 resulted in a downregulation of activated Src, FAK, and Akt, increased apoptosis, and reduced expression of viral proteins and viral titers in influenza virus-infected A549 and NHBE cells. These findings indicate that influenza NA not only aids in the release of progeny virions, but also cell survival during viral replication.
