The PI3K/Akt pathway inhibits influenza A virus-induced Bax-mediated apoptosis by negatively regulating the JNK pathway via ASK1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
It has previously been reported that influenza A virus infection activates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. In addition, it has been shown that the mutant influenza A virus PR8-SH3-mf-1, which is unable to activate the PI3K/Akt pathway, is more pro-apoptotic than the wild-type (WT) virus. However, the molecular pathways involved in regulating this process remain unknown. Here, it is reported that, although both WT and PR8-SH3-mf-1 viruses induced apoptosis, the PR8-SH3-mf-1 virus consistently showed greater potential to induce mitochondrial membrane disruption, cytochrome c release, and translocation and conformational change of Bax than the WT virus. Furthermore, the PR8-SH3-mf-1 virus was unable to phosphorylate apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) but induced higher levels of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation than the WT virus. Blocking JNK activity could inhibit virus-induced Bax activation and apoptosis. These results reveal that, during influenza A virus infection, the PI3K/Akt pathway negatively regulates the JNK pathway via ASK1, thereby inhibiting JNK-dependent, Bax-mediated apoptosis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
