The PA polymerase subunit of H5N1 HPAIV was recently reported to activate the influenza replicon activity.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>The replicon activities of PR8 and WSN strains (H1N1) of influenza containing PA from HPAIV A/Cambodia/P0322095/2005 (H5N1) and the activity of the chimeric RNA polymerase were analyzed. A reassortant WSN virus containing the H5N1 Cambodia PA (C-PA) was then reconstituted and its growth in cells and pathogenicity in mice examined. The interferon promoter, TUNEL, and caspase 3, 8, and 9 activities of C-PA-infected cells were compared with those of WSN-infected cells.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>The activity of the chimeric RNA polymerase was slightly higher than that of WSN, and C-PA replicated better than WSN in cells. However, the multi-step growth of C-PA and its pathogenicity in mice were lower than those of WSN. The interferon promoter, TUNEL, and caspase 3, 8, and 9 activities were strongly induced in early infection in C-PA-infected cells but not in WSN-infected cells.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Apoptosis and interferon were strongly induced early in C-PA infection, which protected the uninfected cells from expansion of viral infection. In this case, these classical host-virus interactions contributed to the attenuation of this strongly replicating virus.</p></sec></div></front><back><div1

The genomes of influenza A viruses are composed of 8 negative-sense single-stranded RNA segments; this segmented genome allows gene reassortment between viruses in co-infected cells to produce new viruses. Reassortment of influenza A virus genes caused the deadly H2N2 “Asian flu” and the H3N2 “Hong Kong flu” pandemics in 1957 and 1968, respectively. During these pandemics, the avian virus PB1, HA and NA, or PB1 and HA genes, respectively, were introduced into circulating human viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>]. The last pandemic strain, the novel swine-origin influenza virus A/H1N1 (S-OIV), carries PB2 and PA genes of avian origin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>]. In addition to the S-OIV pandemic flu, H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) have caused severe or fatal disease in humans in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa since their emergence in Hong Kong in 1997 (WHO, <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/en/">http://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/en/</ext-link>). The H5N1 influenza virus ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) contributes to viral pathogenesis in chickens [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]. Influenza viruses with high polymerase activity have also shown high pathogenicity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>]. These lines of evidence suggest that the influenza RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) contributes to its pathogenesis.</p><p>Influenza A virions contain 8 negative-sense single-stranded RNA genome segments and RdRp [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>]. Genome segments 1, 2, and 3 encode the RdRp subunits PB2, PB1, and PA, respectively. Segment 4 encodes hemagglutinin (HA), segment 5 nucleoprotein (NP), segment 6 neuraminidase (NA), segment 7 matrix protein 1 (M1) and an ion channel (M2), and segment 8 non-structural protein 1 (NS1) and nuclear export protein (NEP). A second open reading frame of segment 2 encodes PB1-F2 in some strains.</p><p>The RdRp subunit PB1 is the core subunit of the RdRp complex and mediates RNA polymerization [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>], while PB2 is the cap-binding subunit [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>] and PA has cap-dependent endonuclease activity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>]. Influenza virus RdRp catalyzes both transcription of viral mRNA and replication of the viral genome. Influenza transcription is a prototype of primer-dependent initiation. The viral RdRp binds to the cap-1 structures of host mRNAs and cleaves off 9 to 15 nucleotides to generate primers for viral transcription, a process known as “cap snatching” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>].

However, once it does infect humans, it results in high mortality of approximately 60% [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">27</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">28</xref>]. Although some genomic combinations, such as those between human H3N2, avian H5N1, and horse H7N7 or between human H3N2 and avian H2N2, may be incompatible [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">29</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>], reassortment between H5N1 HPAIV, which is epizootic among poultry almost worldwide [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>], and currently circulating human influenza viruses, including the pandemic S-OIV and seasonal influenza viruses (H1N1 and H3N2), is one of the most important potential threats for the next pandemic.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed that H5N1 Cambodia PA migrated to a higher position than did PR8PA; the Cambodia PA band almost overlapped with that of 18 × HisPR8PB2 (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>B). The identity of H5N1 Cambodia PA was confirmed by western blotting against PA (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>C).</p><p>We next compared the activities of the purified RdRps <italic>in vitro</italic>.

ApG-primed and <italic>de novo</italic> initiation of v84 transcription produced 84- and 83-nt products, respectively, while globin mRNA-primed transcription produced 96-nt products. Because virion RdRp uses 10–15 nucleotide primers to initiate from the C at the 2nd position from the 3′ end of the genome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>], the 96-mer products were assigned to the transcripts from the 13th G next to the 12th U of the cap-1 structure (m<sup>7</sup>GmACACUUGCUUUU) of rabbit β-globin mRNA (GenBank; M10843). The mean and standard deviation (error bar in the graph) of the polymerase activity relative to that of PR8 RdRp were calculated from 2 independent measurements of 3 different RdRp preparations.

First, we examined interferon β induction in 293 T cells by measuring the activity of its promoter (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>). A small amount of interferon β was induced in cells infected with either C-PA or WSN 4 hr pi.

The numbers of TUNEL-positive cells in 3 random fields were counted (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">6</xref>A). Before 11 hr pi, we found fewer than 5 TUNEL-positive cells per field in either C-PA- or WSN-infected cells. Then, beginning 12 hr pi, the numbers of the C-PA-infected TUNEL-positive cells increased to 20 ± 3.5 (12 hr), 27 ± 2.5 (13 hr), 41 ± 4.0 (14 hr), 46 ± 2.6 (15 hr), 48 ± 2.6 (16 hr), and 28 ± 3.5 (24 hr). The numbers of the WSN-infected TUNEL-positive cells remained less than 6 until 16 hr and then increased to 40 ± 4.6 at 24 hr pi. From 12 to 16 hr pi, significantly more TUNEL-positive cells were observed among the C-PA-infected cells than among the WSN-infected cells (p < 0.005). TUNEL-positive cells were clearly observed among both C-PA- and WSN-infected cells, and significantly more TUNEL-positive cells were observed among WSN-infected cells than among C-PA-infected cells 24 hr pi (p < 0.05). In conclusion, TUNEL-positive cells appeared earlier in C-PA-infected cells than in WSN-infected cells. No differences in TUNEL staining were found among cells transfected with WSN and H5N1 Cambodia single-protein-expression plasmids (PB2, PB1, PA, HA, NP, NA, M1, M2, NS1, and NS2) or pcDNA3.1 (data not shown).</p><fig id="F6" position="float"><label>Figure 6</label><caption><p><bold> TUNEL staining and Caspase 3, 8, and 9 activities of C-PA- and WSN-infected cells.</bold><bold>A.</bold> TUNEL assays were performed on C-PA- and WSN-infected MDCK cells at the indicated time after infection.

We therefore measured the activities of caspases 3, 8, and 9 in C-PA- and WSN-infected cells 10 hr pi, 2 hr before TUNEL-positive cells could first be observed among C-PA-infected cells, in order to confirm the induction of apoptosis (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">6</xref>B). The activities of caspases 3 (14.7 ± 9.8 × 10<sup>6</sup> RFU/mg protein, p < 0.0005), 8 (3.6 ± 0.2 × 10<sup>6</sup> RFU/mg protein, p < 0.005), and 9 (1.5 ± 0.5 × 10<sup>6</sup> RFU/mg protein, p < 0.005) were higher in C-PA-infected cells than in WSN-infected cells 10 hr pi (comparisons evaluated by Student’s <italic>t</italic> test). The caspase activities in WSN-infected cells were similar to those in mock-infected cells, indicating that WSN infection did not induce apoptosis 10 hr pi.

The major difference between C-PA- and WSN-infected lungs is that pulmonary edema around blood vessels was present in the C-PA-infected lungs from day 1 pi, although it was also present in WSN-infected lungs on days 3 and 4 pi. On the first day of infection, a moderate amount of lymphocyte infiltration was observed around the bronchioles of C-PA-infected mouse lungs, and this inflammation decreased on days 3 and 4.

Influenza viruses with high polymerase activity have been reported to show high pathogenicity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>]. Therefore, reassortment of H5N1 HPAIV PA into human influenza viruses, including the seasonal influenza viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and the pandemic influenza virus (H1N1), is a serious concern [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">34</xref>], although this event may not occur easily [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>]. The major factor for host adaptation in H5N1 HPAIV RNP is PB2, which shows a strong correlation with pathogenicity in mammalian hosts, including humans [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">51</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">55</xref>].</p><p>The WSN reconstitution system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">56</xref>] was used to analyze the effect of H5N1 Cambodia PA in an animal influenza virus (H1N1). Contrary to our expectation, the multi-step growth of C-PA in MDCK and CEF cells was less than that of WSN, and its pathogenicity was low because of this attenuation (Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref><xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>). We confirmed the absence of mutations in the C-PA genome. As we previously found a similar discrepancy in influenza promoter/origin function due to a difference in activation of the host defense system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">42</xref>], we examined whether the discrepancy between RdRp activity and pathogenicity was also due to differences in host defense. As the multi-step growth of C-PA in Vero cells was better than that of WSN, and because its single-step growth, which is highly dependent on the polymerase activity, in both MDCK and Vero cells was better than that of WSN (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>), we first examined the activity of the interferon β promoter and found that it was strongly activated (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>) in CPA-infected cells.</p><p>Type I interferon is induced in virus-infected cells by a signal transduction pathway beginning with retinoic-acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I), which recognizes 5′-triphosphate-containing influenza RNA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">62</xref>]. In C-PA-infected cells, a large amount of vRNA was expressed from early stages of infection, which might more strongly trigger interferon induction (Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref> and Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>: Figure S3) and thereby induce an antiviral state in uninfected cells that protected them from influenza infection (Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>: Figure S2A) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">63</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">65</xref>]. The better multi-step growth of C-PA relative to WSN in Vero cells, which are defective in type-I interferon production [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B66">66</xref>] (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>C), and the better single-step growth of C-PA than of WSN (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>), are consistent with the high <italic>in vitro</italic> polymerase activity and strong interferon induction in C-PA infected cells.</p><p>Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is another mechanism by which cells restrict viral infection including influenza [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B67">67</xref>]. However, virus-induced apoptosis causes tissue damage, which is one of the mechanisms of influenza pathogenicity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">68</xref>]. Apoptosis also aids in the release of influenza viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">69</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">70</xref>]. WSN induced apoptosis in MDCK cells late in infection [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B71">71</xref>]. However, no apoptosis was induced by expression of any single protein of either WSN or H5N1 Cambodia. Apoptosis was strongly induced in C-PA-infected cells beginning early in infection when no apoptosis was induced in WSN-infected cells (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">6</xref>). The activation of caspase 9 indicated that this apoptosis was mediated through the mitochondrial pathway [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">72</xref>]. The increased expression of vRNA (Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>: Figure S3) in C-PA infected cells due to the high replication activity promoted by H5N1 PA (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>) induced both interferon and apoptosis, resulting in attenuation of C-PA proliferation (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>). Neither caspase 3 nor 8 was induced by expression of WSN PA or Cambodia PA alone (data not shown). The strong induction of interferon discussed above also stimulates the induction of apoptosis <italic>via</italic> RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B73">73</xref>]. Such rapid induction of apoptosis was also observed in duck cells infected with HPAIV [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">68</xref>]. However, in case of C-PA, early induction of apoptosis attenuated the proliferation of the virus and thus decreased its pathogenicity.</p><p>PB1-F2 is the only influenza virus protein that induces apoptosis in infected monocytes and potentiates apoptosis during infection [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">74</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B76">76</xref>]. The WSN PB1-F2 proteins of WSN and C-PA are identical. Kinetic analysis of viral RNAs ( <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>: Figure S 3) indicates that PB1-F2 is unlikely to contribute to the strong induction of apoptosis in C-PA infected cells.</p><p>C-PA infection strongly induced both interferon production and apoptosis early in infection, which attenuated virus proliferation and pathogenicity despite high RdRp activity. This may be another reason, in addition to poor adaptation, for the difficulty of obtaining reassortant viruses carrying H5N1 HPAIV PA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>].</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods"><title>Methods</title><sec><title>Cell culture</title><p>293 T and Vero cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle minimal essential medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
