Influenza A virus (IAV) infection predisposes the host to secondary bacterial pneumonia, known as a major cause of morbidity and mortality during influenza virus epidemics. Analysis of interactions between IAV-infected human epithelial cells and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealed that infected cells ectopically exhibited the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone glycoprotein 96 (GP96) on the surface. Importantly, efficient pneumococcal adherence to epithelial cells was imparted by interactions with extracellular GP96 and integrin αV, with the surface expression mediated by GP96 chaperone activity. Furthermore, abrogation of adherence was gained by chemical inhibition or genetic knockout of GP96 as well as addition of RGD peptide, an inhibitor of integrin-ligand interactions. Direct binding of extracellular GP96 and pneumococci was shown to be mediated by pneumococcal oligopeptide permease components. Additionally, IAV infection induced activation of calpains and Snail1, which are responsible for degradation and transcriptional repression of junctional proteins in the host, respectively, indicating increased bacterial translocation across the epithelial barrier. Notably, treatment of IAV-infected mice with the GP96 inhibitor enhanced pneumococcal clearance from lung tissues and ameliorated lung pathology. Taken together, the present findings indicate a viral-bacterial synergy in relation to disease progression and suggest a paradigm for developing novel therapeutic strategies tailored to inhibit pneumococcal colonization in an IAV-infected respiratory tract.
