Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), the type member of the virus family Baculoviridae, infects pest insects and has been the subject of many studies for its development as a biopesticide. It is also the virus upon which most of the commercial baculovirus protein expression systems are based. AcMNPV infection of cultured host Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells can induce a number of alterations of host cell properties including altering the cellular cytoskeleton, an arrest of the cell cycle in G(2)/M, and the global shutoff of host protein translation. Additionally, several cellular transcripts have been shown to be down-regulated following AcMNPV infection. In this study, we take a differential display approach to address whether a global down-regulation of Sf9 host transcripts occurs at late times of infection. Additionally, we also use this approach to search for host mRNAs; which are up-regulated at early times of infection, and may be important for facilitating baculovirus; infection. From these experiments we can confirm a global down-regulation of Sf9 mRNA levels at late times of infection. We also found that up-regulation of individual host gene RNA levels at early times of infection did not occur frequently. One host transcript which was found to be transiently up-regulated as a result of AcMNPV infection was an Sf9 Hsc70 gene. Hsc70 proteins have been shown to play a vital role in the life-cycle of other large DNA viruses, which suggests that this protein is also important for baculovirus infection.
