    Numbers of Candidate SV Calls Before Filtering Process. The numbers of candidate SV calls detected in 10 samples of different genetic backgrounds before any filtering process. The numbers of total SVs include ITX (intra-chromosomal translocations), DELs (deletions), INV (inversions), INS (insertions), and CTXs (inter-chromosomal translocations) in 10 sequenced samples, including 6 tumor samples (119J, 125J, 196J, 202J, 46J, and 90J) and 4 control samples (control 1, control 2, kidney and wt B6) plus 129S1 whose sequences were downloaded from Sanger’s Institute (see details in Methods).

    <p>Human AM from 3 non-smoking donors were isolated, cultured, and infected by PR/8 virus at a MOI of 0.5. The gene profiling of infected and non-infected cells at 24 hpi from each donor was examined by microarray experiments using Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 chips (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). The filtered gene list was generated as described in the Section of <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0029879#s4" target="_blank">Methods</a>. The data show the top 25 genes up-regulated or down-regulated altered by viral infection.</p><p>*indicates similar results from multiple probes.</p

    <p>Panel A. Human AM were cultured and infected by PR/8 at a MOI of 0.5. The total RNA from infected and non-infected cells was evaluated for the expression of macrophage receptor genes by real-time RT-PCR at 24 hpi. The data show the relative expression levels of each gene in virus-infected cells compared to that of non-infected cells after normalized to the expression of constitutive probe from 4 to 14 donors. Each symbol indicates one donor. * indicates there was a significant difference between control and virus-infected cells (P<0.05). Panel B. PR/8 infection induced a dose-dependent decrease of uptake of zymosan. Isolated AM were cultured and infected by PR/8. At 24 hpi, fluorescent FITC-labeled zymosan was added without serum for 2 h and then the cells were washed and fixed with paraformaldehyde. Uptake of zymosan was measured as percent of cells containing zymosan evaluated under fluorescent microscopy. The data represent mean+SE of percent cells uptaking zymosan. N = 4. ** indicates P<0.01, *** indicates P<0.001 vs. non-infected cells.</p

    <p>Human AM isolated from donor lungs were cultured and infected by live NY/238 virus at a MOI of 0.1 or the equal amount of UV-inactivated NY/238. Cells were harvested at designated times for evaluation of their innate immune response. Panel A. Alterations in mRNAs of innate immune response-related genes at 3 and 24 hpi by realtime RT-PCR. The data represent mean+SE of the relative expression levels of each gene in infected cultures compared to that of non-infected controls after normalization to the level of the constitutive probe cyclophilin B, N = 4. * indicates P<0.05 and ** indicates P<0.01 between live and UV-inactivated cells. Panel B. Kinetics of cytokine and chemokine response by ELISA. The data show representative release of TNF-α, IFN-α, CXCL10, CXCL8, and CCL5 from both live and UV-inactivated NY/238 virus-infected AM from one of 6 donors that all showed similar response.</p

    Inhibition of TNF and/or IL-1 pathways decreases release of CXCL8 and CCL5 but not CXCL10 and IFNs induced by influenza infection.

    <p>Human AM isolated from donor lungs were cultured and infected by PR/8 at a MOI of 0.5. Soluble TNF p55 receptor and IL-1Ra were added to the cultures at 10 µg/ml 45 min before the infection and added back to the cultures after viral inoculation. Secretion of chemokines and cytokines was measured by ELISA at 24 hpi. The data represent mean+SE of each released cytokine and chemokine (pg/ml). N = 6. * indicates P<0.05, ** indicates P<0.01, *** indicates P<0.001 vs. virus-infected cells.</p

    <p>Primary AM were cultured and infected by live PR/8 at a MOI of 0.5 or the equal amount of UV-inactivated PR/8, and cells were harvested at designated time post inoculation. Panels A–F. Kinetics of viral antigen synthesis and infectious virus release. Panels A–C show representative immunofluorescence staining for influenza HA from live PR/8-infected AM culture at 6, 24, and 48 hpi. Panel D shows the quantitation of these experiments. The data represent mean±SE of percentage of positive-stained cells from 6 donors. Panel E. Representative staining of viral antigen in UV-inactivated PR/8 infection at 48 hpi. Panel F. Representative release of infectious viral particles from both live and UV-inactivated PR/8-infected AM from 6 donors. Panels G–K. Time course of cytokine and chemokine response in PR/8-infected AM. The supernatant from cultured cells were collected at 1, 6, 24, and 48 hpi. Secretion of TNF-α (Panel G), IFN-α (Panel H), CXCL10 (Panel I), CXCL8 (Panel J), and CCL5 (Panel K) was measured by ELISA. Data show representative release of each cytokine from infected AM of 6 donors that all showed similar response.</p

    <p>Human AM isolated from donor lungs were cultured and infected by PR/8 at a MOI of 0.5. Secretion of chemokines and cytokines from infected and non-infected cultures was measured by ELISA at 24 hpi. The data represent mean+SE of each released cytokine and chemokine (pg/ml). The number of individual donors ranged from 8 to 16. * indicates P<0.05, ** indicates P<0.01, *** indicates P<0.001 vs. non-infected cells.</p
