Influenza A viruses (IAV) constitute a major public health issue, causing illness and death in high-risk populations during seasonal epidemics or pandemics. IAV are known to modulate cellular pathways to promote their replication and avoid immune restriction via the targeting of several cellular proteins. One of these proteins, p53, is a master regulator involved in a large panel of biological processes, including cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, or senescence. This “cellular gatekeeper” is also involved in the control of viral infections, and viruses have developed a wide diversity of mechanisms to modulate/hijack p53 functions to achieve an optimal replication in their hosts. Our group and others have previously shown that p53 activity is finely modulated by different multilevel mechanisms during IAV infection. Here, we characterized IAV nonstructural protein NS1 and the cellular factor CPSF4 as major partners involved in the IAV-induced modulation of the TP53 alternative splicing that was associated with a strong modulation of p53 activity and notably the p53-mediated antiviral response.
