Abstract

It has previously been reported that influenza A virus infection activates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. In addition, it has been shown that the mutant influenza A virus PR8-SH3-mf-1, which is unable to activate the PI3K/Akt pathway, is more pro-apoptotic than the wild-type (WT) virus. However, the molecular pathways involved in regulating this process remain unknown. Here, it is reported that, although both WT and PR8-SH3-mf-1 viruses induced apoptosis, the PR8-SH3-mf-1 virus consistently showed greater potential to induce mitochondrial membrane disruption, cytochrome c release, and translocation and conformational change of Bax than the WT virus. Furthermore, the PR8-SH3-mf-1 virus was unable to phosphorylate apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) but induced higher levels of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation than the WT virus. Blocking JNK activity could inhibit virus-induced Bax activation and apoptosis. These results reveal that, during influenza A virus infection, the PI3K/Akt pathway negatively regulates the JNK pathway via ASK1, thereby inhibiting JNK-dependent, Bax-mediated apoptosis.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.
