The primary replication site of Inï¬uenza A virus (IAV) is type II alveolar epithelial cells (AECII), which are central to normal lung function and present important immune functions. Surfactant components are synthesized primarily by AECII, which play a crucial role in host defense against infection. The aim of this study was to analyze if the impact of influenza infection is differential between A(H1N1)pdm09 and A/Victoria/3/75 (H3N2) on costimulatory molecules and ProSP-C expression in AECII from BALB/c mice infected and A549 cell line infected with both strains. Pandemic A(H1N1)pdm09 and A/Victoria/3/75 (H3N2) were used to infect BALB/c mice and the A549 cell line. We evaluated the surface expression of co-stimulatory molecules (CD45/CD31/CD74/ProSP-C) in AECII and A549 cell lines. Our results showed a significant decrease in ProSP-C+ CD31- CD45- and CD74+ CD31- CD45- expression in AECII and A549 cell line with the virus strain A(H1N1)pdm09 versus A/Victoria/3/75 (H3N2) and controls (non-infection conditions). Our findings indicate that changes in the expression of ProSP-C in AECII and A549 cell lines in infection conditions could result in dysfunction leading to decreased lung compliance, increased work of breathing and increased susceptibility to injury.
