Abstract

Because they are obligate intracellular parasites, all viruses are exclusively and intimately dependent upon host cells for replication. Viruses, in turn, induce profound changes within cells, including apoptosis, morphological changes, and activation of signaling pathways. Many of these alterations have been analyzed by gene arrays, which measure the cellular "transcriptome". Until recently, it has not been possible to extend comparable types of studies to globally examine all the host cellular proteins, which are the actual effector molecules. We have used SILAC (stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture), combined with high-throughput 2-D HPLC/mass spectrometry, to determine quantitative differences in host proteins after infection of human lung A549 cells with human influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) for 24 hours. Of the 4689 identified and measured cytosolic protein pairs, 127 were significantly up-regulated at >95% confidence, 153 were significantly down-regulated at >95% confidence, and a total of 87 proteins were up-regulated or down-regulated more than 5-fold at >99% confidence. Gene ontology and pathway analyses indicated differentially-regulated proteins included those involved in host cell immunity and antigen presentation, cell adhesion, metabolism, protein function, signal transduction, and transcription pathways.
