Tyrosine kinase activity is required for efficient uptake of IAV. (A, B, C) A549 cells were treated with genistein (50 μM, [+]) or (D, E) a mixture of several RTK inhibitors (each 10 μM, [+] see experimental procedures) or the solvent control (DMSO,[−]) respectively for 60 min at 37°C or over night prior to infection. (A) Upon genistein treatment, cells were either mock infected or infected with influenza virus A/FPV/Bratislava/79 (H7N7) (FPV; MOI = 100) for further 30 min. Virus particles were visualized in immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy, via a hemagglutinin (HA)-specific rabbit antiserum and an Alexa 594-conjugated chicken anti-rabbit IgG. The nuclei were stained with DAPI. The white arrowheads point to virus particles lining at the cell border. (B, D) After infection with influenza virus A/Puerto-Rico/8/34 (H1N1) PR8 (MOI = 8) for further 30 min, an acidic wash (PBS, pH 1.3, 4°C) was performed before cell-lysis. Internalized virus particles were visualized with a M1 monoclonal antibody in Western-blot (WB) analysis. Equal protein load was verified by ERK2 detection. The relative amount of M1 was quantified (B and D lower panels). Relative M1 densities are expressed as mean ±SD of three independent experiments. (C, E) Cells were infected with FPV or PR8 (MOI = 4) for 8 h; upon the virus-attachment period an acidic wash (PBS-HCl, pH 5.5) was included. Progeny virus titers were determined by standard plaque assays. Data represent mean values of at least three independent experiments ±SD. Statistical significance was assessed by student's t-test (*) p<0.05, (**) p<0.005.

EGFR knock-down impairs efficient uptake of IAV into A549 cells. (A) A549 cells were treated with an EGFR-specific antibody (5 μg ml−1) or mouse serum at the indicated times before and during infection with FPV (MOI = 0.5) for 8 h. Progeny virus titers were determined by standard plaque assays; virus yields of serum treated cells were arbitrarily set as 100%. Calculation of virus titers revealed 5.65×105 PFU ml−1 (±1.2×105) for -30 min pre-incubation, 10×105 PFU ml−1 (±1×105) for anti EGFR- and for serum pre-incubation. Statistical significance was assessed by student's t-test (*) p<0.05. (B, C) A549 cells were transfected with a control siRNA or a specific siRNA targeting the EGFR. 48 h post transfection cells were infected with (B) PR8 (MOI = 4) for 30 min or (C) PR8 or FPV (MOI = 4) for 8 h. (C) Upon the attachment period an acidic wash (PBS-HCl, pH 5.5) was included.

(B, D) Before cell-lysis an acidic wash (PBS-HCl, pH 1.3, 4°C) was performed and cell-lysates were analysed in WB. Relative M1 densities are expressed as mean ±SD of three independent experiments. (C, E) Progeny virus yields were determined by standard plaque assays. Data represent mean values of three independent experiments ±SD. Statistical significance was assessed by student's t-test (*) p<0.05. EGFR knock-down was verified by WB before infection (C and E, lower panels). Cells were transiently transfected with an EGFR construct during RNAi mediated knock-down (B) or 24 h prior to EGF induced EGFR degradation (D).

Forced expression of influenza viral proteins does not result in impaired IFNβ-induced STAT1 and STAT2 phosphorylation. HEK293 cells were transfected with 500 ng plasmid DNA for expression of viral NP, M, NS, (A) PA, PB1 and PB2 (C) genes (see Table 1 for accession numbers of viral genes) using L2000 according to manufacturer's instructions. Note that the Pol II constructs in use also give rise to expression of second reading frames in the NS, M and PB1 genes (NS2, M2, PB1-F2). 48 h post transfection cells were stimulated with human IFNβ (500 U/ml) for 15 minutes. Total protein lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis using anti-phospho-STAT1, anti-phospho-STAT2, anti-STAT1 antibodies. Expression of influenza viral proteins was monitored with antibodies against NP, M1, NS1, PA, PB1 or PB2. (E) HEK293 cells were infected with the human influenza virus PR8 (H1N1) (MOI = 5) for the indicated time points and were subsequently stimulated for 15 min with either human IFNβ at a concentration of 100 U/ml. Cell lysates were subjected to Western blots as described. (B, D, F) Quantification of relative pSTAT1 and pSTAT2 band intensities in A, C and E using AIDA software and 2D densitometry (Fuji).
