In the vaccine era, individuals receive multiple vaccines in their lifetime. Host gene expression in response to antigenic stimulation is usually virus-specific; however, identifying shared pathways of host response across a wide spectrum of vaccine pathogens can shed light on the molecular mechanisms/components which can be targeted for the development of broad/universal therapeutics and vaccines. We isolated PBMCs, monocytes, B cells, and CD8+ T cells from the peripheral blood of healthy donors, who received both seasonal influenza vaccine (within <1 year) and smallpox vaccine (within 1 - 4 years). Each of the purified cell populations was stimulated with either influenza virus or vaccinia virus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) relative to unstimulated controls were identified for each in vitro viral infection, as well as for both viral infections (shared DEGs). Pathway enrichment analysis was performed to associate identified DEGs with KEGG/biological pathways. We identified 2,906, 3,888, 681, and 446 DEGs in PBMCs, monocytes, B cells, and CD8+ T cells, respectively, in response to influenza stimulation. Meanwhile, 97, 120, 20, and 10 DEGs were identified as gene signatures in PBMCs, monocytes, B cells, and CD8+ T cells, respectively, upon vaccinia stimulation. The majority of DEGs identified in PBMCs were also found in monocytes after either viral stimulation. Of the virus-specific DEGs, 55, 63, and 9 DEGs occurred in common in PBMCs, monocytes, and B cells, respectively, while no DEGs were shared in infected CD8+ T cells after influenza and vaccinia. Gene set enrichment analysis demonstrated that these shared DEGs were over-represented in innate signaling pathways, including cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor, Toll-like receptor signaling, RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathways, cytosolic DNA-sensing pathways, and natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity. Our results provide insights into virus-host interactions in different immune cells, as well as host defense mechanisms against viral stimulation. Our data also highlights the role of monocytes as a major cell population driving gene expression in ex vivo PBMCs in response to viral stimulation. The immune response signaling pathways identified in this study may provide specific targets for the development of novel virus-specific therapeutics and improved vaccines for vaccinia and influenza. Although influenza and vaccinia viruses have been selected in this study as pathogen models, this approach could be applicable to other pathogens.
