Abstract

Autophagy is involved in the replication of viruses, especially those that perform RNA assembly on the surface of cytoplasmic membrane in host cells. However, little is known about the regulatory role of autophagy in influenza A virus replication. Using fluorescence and electron microscopy, we observed that autophagosomes can be induced and identified upon influenza A virus infection. The virus increased the amount of the autophagosome marker protein microtubule-associated protein light chain 3-II (LC3-II) and enhanced autophagic flux. When autophagy was pharmacologically inhibited by either 3-methylademine or wortmannin, the titers of influenza A virus were remarkably decreased. Viral reduction via autophagy inhibition was further confirmed by RNA interference, through which two different proteins required for autophagy were depleted. Noticeably, the compounds utilized had no marked effect on virus entry or cell viability, either of which might limit viral replication. Furthermore, alteration of cellular autophagy via pharmacological reagents or RNA interference impaired viral protein accumulation. Taken together, these findings indicate that autophagy is actively involved in influenza A virus replication.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
