Abstract
To investigate the effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of the interaction between the non-structural protein 1 (NS1) and nucleolar and coiled-body phosphoprotein 1 (NOLC1) on rRNA synthesis through nucleolar telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2) under nucleolar stress in avian influenza A virus infection. The analysis of TRF2 ties into the exploration of ribosomal protein L11 (RPL11) and mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) because TRF2 has been found to interact with NOLC1, and the RPL11-MDM2 pathway plays an important role in nucleolar regulation and cellular processes. Both human embryonic kidney 293T cells and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells were transfected with the plasmids pCAGGS-HA and pCAGGS-HA-NS1, respectively. In addition, A549 cells were transfected with the plasmids pEGFP-N1, pEGFP-N1-NS1, and pDsRed2-N1-TRF2. The cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry, and coimmunoprecipitation was applied to examine the interactions between different proteins. The effect of NS1 on TRF2 was detected by immunoprecipitation, and the colocalization of NOLC1 and TRF2 or NS1 and TRF2 was visualized by immunofluorescence. Quantitative real-time PCR was conducted to detect the expression of the TRF2 and p21. There is a strong interaction between NOLC1 and TRF2, and the colocalization of NOLC1 and TRF2 in the nucleus. The protein expression of NOLC1 in A549-HA-NS1 cells was lower than that in A549-HA cells, which was accompanied by the upregulated protein expression of p53 in A549-HA-NS1 cells (all p < .05). TRF2 was scattered throughout the nucleus without clear nucleolar aggregation. RPL11 specifically interacted with MDM2 in the NS1 group, and expression of the p21 gene was significantly increased in the HA-NS1 group compared with the HA group (p < .01). NS1 protein can lead to the reduced aggregation of TRF2 in the nucleolus, inhibition of rRNA expression, and cell cycle blockade by interfering with the NOLC1 protein and generating nucleolar stress.
