Neurotropic flavivirus Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are amongst the leading causes of encephalitis. Using label-free quantitative proteomics, we identified proteins differentially expressed upon JEV (gp-3, RP9) or WNV (IS98) infection of human neuroblastoma cells. Both viruses were associated with the up-regulation of immune response (IFIT1/3/5, ISG15, OAS, STAT1, IRF9) and the down-regulation of SSBP2, involved in gene expression, as well as PAM, involved in neuropeptide amidation. Proteins associated to membranes, involved in extracellular matrix organization and collagen metabolism represented major clusters down-regulated by JEV and WNV. Moreover, transcription regulation and mRNA processing clusters were also heavily regulated by both neurotropic flaviviruses. If the proteome of neuroblastoma cells infected by JEV or WNV was significantly modulated in the presence of mosquito saliva, both viruses showed distinct patterns. Mosquito saliva favored the modulation of proteins associated with gene regulation in JEV infected neuroblastoma cells while it was the modulation of proteins associated with protein maturation, signal transduction and ion transporters in the case of WNV infected neuroblastoma cells.
