Abstract
E26-transforming specific (ETS) variant 6 (ETV6) is a transcription factor regulating the expression of interferon stimulating genes (ISGs) and involved in the embryonic development and hematopoietic regulation, but the role of ETV6 in host response to virus infection is not clear. In this study, we show that ETV6 was upregulated in DF-1 cells with poly(I:C) stimulation or IBDV, AIV and ARV infection via engagement of dsRNA by MDA5. Overexpression of ETV6 in DF-1 cells markedly inhibited IBDV-induced type I interferon (IFN-I) and ISGs expressions. In contrast, knockdown, or knockout of ETV6 remarkably inhibited IBDV replication via promoting IFN-I response. Furthermore, our data show that ETV6 negatively regulated host antiviral response to IBDV infection by interaction with TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and subsequently inhibited its phosphorylation. These results uncovered a novel role of ETV6 as a pro-viral factor in host response by inhibiting TBK1 phosphorylation, furthering our understandings of RNA virus immunosuppression and providing a valuable clue to the development of antiviral reagents for the control of avian RNA virus infection.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 154:109901. [PMID: 39276815 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2024] [Revised: 09/10/2024] [Accepted: 09/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/17/2024]
Abstract
SOCS family genes are a class of repressors in various signaling pathways of mammals involved in regulating immunity, growth, and development, but the information remains limited in teleost. The full-length cDNA sequence of the Japanese eel SOCS6 gene, named AjSOCS6, was first cloned and showed to encode 529 amino acids with a conserved SH2 structural domain and a typical structure of a C-terminal SOCS box. AjSOCS6 is evolutionarily close to that of rainbow trout and zebrafish. AjSOCS6 gene expression was observed across all tissues in Japanese eel, with the highest levels found in the intestine. In vivo studies showed that AjSOCS6 was significantly upregulated in the liver following exposure to LPS, poly I:C, and Aeromonas hydrophila infection. In vitro, stimulation with poly I:C, CpG, and A. hydrophila infection increased AjSOCS6 expression in Japanese eel liver cells. Subcellular localization revealed that AjSOCS6 was dispersed in the cytoplasm. Overexpressing AjSOCS6 significantly suppressed the expression of immune-related genes, such as c-Rel and p65 in the NF-κB pathway, IFN1, IFN2, and IFN4 in the type I IFN signaling pathway, and the downstream inflammatory factor IL-6 in Japanese eel liver cells. Conversely, knocking down AjSOCS6 in vitro in liver cells and in vivo in the liver, spleen, and kidney significantly upregulated these gene expressions. Co-transfection of AjSOCS6 with AjMyD88 into HEK293 cells significantly reduced NF-κB luciferase activities compared to AjMyD88 single-transfection groups, in a natural state and under LPS stimulation. These findings suggest that AjSOCS6 negatively regulates MyD88-dependent NF-κB and type I IFN signaling pathways, underscoring its role in the immune defense of fish against viral and bacterial infections.

Shah AU, Hemida MG. The Potential Roles of Host Cell miRNAs in Fine-Tuning Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV) Molecular Pathogenesis, Tissue Tropism, and Immune Regulation. Microorganisms 2024; 12:897. [PMID: 38792727 PMCID: PMC11124416 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12050897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) infection causes significant economic loss to the dairy and beef industries worldwide. BCoV exhibits dual tropism, infecting the respiratory and enteric tracts of cattle. The enteric BCoV isolates could also induce respiratory manifestations under certain circumstances. However, the mechanism of this dual tropism of BCoV infection has not yet been studied well. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and play a dual role in virus infection, mediating virus or modulating host immune regulatory genes through complex virus-host cell interactions. However, their role in BCoV infection remains unclear. This study aims to identify bovine miRNAs crucial for regulating virus-host interaction, influencing tissue tropism, and explore their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic agents against BCoV. We downloaded 18 full-length BCoV genomes (10 enteric and eight respiratory) from GenBank. We applied several bioinformatic tools to study the host miRNAs targeting various regions in the viral genome. We used the criteria of differential targeting between the enteric/respiratory isolates to identify some critical miRNAs as biological markers for BCoV infection. Using various online bioinformatic tools, we also searched for host miRNA target genes involved in BCoV infection, immune evasion, and regulation. Our results show that four bovine miRNAs (miR-2375, miR-193a-3p, miR-12059, and miR-494) potentially target the BCoV spike protein at multiple sites. These miRNAs also regulate the host immune suppressor pathways, which negatively impacts BCoV replication. Furthermore, we found that bta-(miR-2338, miR-6535, miR-2392, and miR-12054) also target the BCoV genome at certain regions but are involved in regulating host immune signal transduction pathways, i.e., type I interferon (IFN) and retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) pathways. Moreover, both miR-2338 and miR-2392 also target host transcriptional factors RORA, YY1, and HLF, which are potential diagnostic markers for BCoV infection. Therefore, miR-2338, miR-6535, miR-2392, and miR-12054 have the potential to fine-tune BCoV tropism and immune evasion and enhance viral pathogenesis. Our results indicate that host miRNAs play essential roles in the BCoV tissue tropism, pathogenesis, and immune regulation. Four bovine miRNAs (miR-2375, bta-miR-193a-3p, bta-miR-12059, and bta-miR-494) target BCoV-S glycoprotein and are potentially involved in several immune suppression pathways during the viral infection. These miRNA candidates could serve as good genetic markers for BCoV infection. However, further studies are urgently needed to validate these identified miRNAs and their target genes in the context of BCoV infection and dual tropism and as genetic markers.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE miR-26a serves as a potent positive regulator of type I interferon (IFN) responses. By inhibiting USP15 expression, miR-26a promotes RIG-I K63-ubiquitination to enhance type I IFN responses, resulting in an active antiviral state against viruses. Being an intricate regulatory network, the activation of type I IFN responses could in turn suppress miR-26a expression to avoid the disordered activation that might result in the so-called "type I interferonopathy." The knowledge gained would be essential for the development of novel antiviral strategies against viral infection.

Abstract
Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCSs) are implicated in viral infection and host antiviral innate immune response. Recent studies demonstrate that viruses can hijack SOCSs to inhibit Janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway, block the production and signaling of interferons (IFNs). At the same time, viruses can hijack SOCS to regulate non-IFN factors to evade antiviral response. Host cells can also regulate SOCSs to resist viral infection. The competition of the control of SOCSs may largely determine the fate of viral infection and the susceptibility or resistance of host cells, which is of significance for development of novel antiviral therapies targeting SOCSs. Accumulating evidence reveal that the regulation and function of SOCSs by viruses and host cells are very complicated, which is determined by characteristics of both viruses and host cell types. This report presents a systematic review to evaluate the roles of SOCSs in viral infection and host antiviral responses. One of messages worth attention is that all eight SOCS members should be investigated to accurately characterize their roles and relative contribution in each viral infection, which may help identify the most effective SOCS to be used in "individualized" antiviral therapy.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) involved host-virus interaction, affecting the replication or pathogenesis of several viruses. Frontier evidences suggested that miRNAs play essential roles in infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) replication. However, the biological function of miRNAs and the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we reported that gga-miR-20b-5p acted as a negative factor affecting IBDV infection. We found that gga-miR-20b-5p was significantly up-regulated during IBDV infection in host cells, and that gga-miR-20b-5p effectively inhibited IBDV replication via targeting the expression of host protein netrin 4 (NTN4). In contrast, inhibition of endogenous miR-20b-5p markedly facilitated viral replication associated with enhancing NTN4 expression. Collectively, these findings highlight a crucial role of gga-miR-20b-5p in IBDV replication.

Systematic Identification and Comparison of the Expressed Profiles of Exosomal MiRNAs in Pigs Infected with NADC30-like PRRSV Strain. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13050876.

Abstract
Exosomes are biological vesicles secreted and released by cells that act as mediators of intercellular communication and play a unique role in virus infection, antigen presentation, and suppression/promotion of body immunity. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most damaging pathogens in the pig industry and can cause reproductive disorders in sows, respiratory diseases in pigs, reduced growth performance, and other diseases leading to pig mortality. In this study, we used the PRRSV NADC30-like CHsx1401 strain to artificially infect 42-day-old pigs and isolate serum exosomes. Based on high-throughput sequencing technology, 305 miRNAs were identified in serum exosomes before and after infection, among which 33 miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed between groups (13 relatively upregulated and 20 relatively downregulated). Sequence conservation analysis of the CHsx1401 genome identified 8 conserved regions, of which a total of 16 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs were predicted to bind to the conserved region closest to the 3' UTR of the CHsx1401 genome, including 5 DE miRNAs capable of binding to the CHsx1401 3' UTR (ssc-miR-34c, ssc-miR-375, ssc-miR-378, ssc-miR-486, ssc-miR-6529). Further analysis revealed that the target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were widely involved in exosomal function-related and innate immunity-related signaling pathways, and 18 DE miRNAs (ssc-miR-4331-3p, ssc-miR-744, ssc-miR-320, ssc-miR-10b, ssc-miR-124a, ssc-miR-128, etc.) associated with PRRSV infection and immunity were screened as potential functional molecules involved in the regulation of PRRSV virus infection by exosomes.

Abstract
Diseases caused by novel duck reovirus (NDRV) have brought considerable economic losses to the poultry industry. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have an impact on virus replication and antiviral immunity. However, the miRNA profile upon NDRV infection in duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs) remains to be discovered. In this study, small RNA (sRNA) sequencing was performed to decipher the cellular miRNA response to NDRV infection. Based on 26 differentially expressed miRNAs (19 upregulated and 7 downregulated miRNAs) obtained from sequencing data and their target genes predicted by software, GO and KEGG analyses were performed to elucidate the functions of miRNAs in NDRV invasion, replication, and virus spread. "FoxO signaling pathway", "autophagy", and "Toll-like receptor signaling pathway" might participate in NDRV replication as revealed by KEGG enrichment analysis. The miR-155-1 sequence was found to be identical to rno-miR-155-5p and was sharply increased with the progression of NDRV infection. Moreover, NDRV-induced miR-155-1 could act as a positive factor for virus replication in DEFs, which inhibited type I interferon (IFN-I) production. Luciferase assay confirmed that miR-155-1 disturbed the abundance of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) 5 by targeting 3'-UTR. SOCS5, which is linked to increased IRF7 expression, restricts IFN expression and promotes NDRV replication in DEFs. Therefore, this study proposed that miR-155-1 was used by NDRV to restrict SOCS5 expression, attenuating the production of IFN-I and creating a favorable environment for virus replication.

Abstract
In mammals, heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein U (hnRNPU), also named as nuclear matrix protein-nuclear scaffold attachment factor (SAFA), was originally identified as a DNA/RNA interactor protein. It has been reported that human hnRNPU facilitates IFN-β generation after vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection. Nevertheless, the role of chicken hnRNPU (chhnRNPU) in IFN-β regulation as well as in infectious bursal diseases virus (IBDV) replication is still unclear. Here, we found that chhnRNPU inhibits IFN-β production via interacting with MDA5 and MAVS, and facilitates IBDV replication via associating with genomic dsRNA of IBDV. Firstly, chicken hnRNPU (chhnRNPU) was widely expressed in different tissues of chickens and was distributed in the nucleus of DF-1 cells. Overexpression of chhnRNPU significantly suppresses IFN-β promoter activities induced by MDA5 and MAVS. Additionally, immunoprecipitated by dsRNA antibodies, which followed LC-MS analysis demonstrate that chhnRNPU is a partner of viral genomic dsRNA. chhnRNPU is translocated from nucleus to cytosol to co-localize with replication complex of IBDV after IBDV infection. Over-expression of chhnRNPU significantly promotes IBDV replication, which was determined by western blotting, qRT-PCR and TCID50 assay. Furthermore, knock down chhnRNPU by siRNA remarkably facilitates IFN-β production, and inhibits IBDV proliferation. These data collectively reveal that chhnRNPU positively regulates IBDV replication via negatively regulating IFN-β response.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an acute, highly contagious, and immunosuppressive avian disease caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). In recent years, with the emergence of IBDV variants and recombinant strains, IBDV still threatens the poultry industry worldwide. It seems that the battle between host and IBDV will never end. Thus, it is urgent to develop a more comprehensive and effective strategy for the control of this disease. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying virus-host interactions would be of help in the development of novel vaccines. Recently, much progress has been made in the understanding of the host response against IBDV infection. If the battle between host and IBDV at the protein level is considered the front line, at the RNA level, it can be taken as a hidden line. The host combats IBDV infection at both the front and hidden lines. Therefore, this review focuses on our current understanding of the host response to IBDV infection at both the protein and RNA levels.

Abstract
Avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC), one of the widespread zoonotic-pathogen, can cause a series of diseases collectively known as colibacillosis. This disease can cause thousands of million dollars economic loss each year in poultry industry and threaten to human health via meat or egg contamination. However, the detailed molecular mechanism underlying APEC infection is still not fully understood. Circular RNAs, a new type of endogenous noncoding RNA, have been demonstrated to involve in various biological processes. However, it is still not clear whether the circRNAs participate in host response against APEC infection. Herein, we utilized the high-throughput sequence technology to identify the circRNA expression profiles in APEC infected HD11 cells. A total of 49 differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs were detected in the comparison of APEC infected HD11 cells vs. wild type HD11 cells, which were involved in MAPK signaling pathway, Endocytosis, Focal adhesion, mTOR signaling pathway, and VEGF signaling pathway. Specifically, the source genes (BRAF, PPP3CB, BCL2L13, RAB11A, and TSC2) and their corresponding DE circRNAs may play a significant role in APEC infection. Moreover, based on ceRNA regulation, we constructed the circRNA-miRNA network and identified a couple of important regulatory relationship pairs related to APEC infection, including circRAB11A-gga-miR-125b-3p, circRAB11A-gga-miR-1696, and circTSC2-gga-miR-1649-5p. Results indicate that the aforementioned specific circRNAs and circRNA-miRNA network might have important role in regulating host immune response against APEC infection. This study is the first time to investigate the circRNAs expression profile and the biological function of the source genes of the identified DE circRNAs after APEC infection of chicken HD11 cells. These results would contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms in host response against APEC infection.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs), non-coding RNAs about 22 nt long, regulate the post-transcription expression of genes to influence many cellular processes. The expression of host miRNAs is affected by virus invasion, which also affects virus replication. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that miRNA influences RNA virus multiplication by binding directly to the RNA virus genome. Here, the knowledge relating to miRNAs’ relationships between host miRNAs and RNA viruses are discussed.

Abstract
Recognition of viral RNAs by melanoma differentiation associated gene-5 (MDA5) initiates chicken antiviral response by producing type I interferons. Our previous studies showed that chicken microRNA-155-5p (gga-miR-155-5p) enhanced IFN-β expression and suppressed the replication of infectious burse disease virus (IBDV), a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus causing infectious burse disease in chickens. However, the mechanism underlying IBDV-induced gga-miR-155-5p expression in host cells remains elusive. Here, we show that IBDV infection or poly(I:C) treatment of DF-1 cells markedly increased the expression of GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3), a master regulator for TH2 cell differentiation, and that GATA3 promoted gga-miR-155-5p expression in IBDV-infected or poly(I:C)-treated cells by directly binding to its promoter. Surprisingly, ectopic expression of GATA3 significantly reduced IBDV replication in DF-1 cells, and this reduction could be completely abolished by treatment with gga-miR-155-5p inhibitors, whereas knockdown of GATA3 by RNA interference enhanced IBDV growth, and this enhancement could be blocked with gga-miR-155-5p mimics, indicating that GATA3 suppressed IBDV replication by gga-miR-155-5p. Furthermore, our data show that MDA5 is required for GATA3 expression in host cells with poly(I:C) treatment, so are the adaptor protein TBK1 and transcription factor IRF7, suggesting that induction of GATA3 expression in IBDV-infected cells relies on MDA5-TBK1-IRF7 signaling pathway. These results uncover a novel role for GATA3 as an antivirus transcription factor in innate immune response by promoting miR-155 expression, further our understandings of host response against pathogenic infection, and provide valuable clues to the development of antiviral reagents for public health. IMPORTANCE Gga-miR-155-5p acts as an important antivirus factor against IBDV infection, which causes a severe immunosuppressive disease in chicken. Elucidation of the mechanism regulating gga-miR-155-5p expression in IBDV-infected cells is essential to our understandings of the host response against pathogenic infection. This study shows that transcription factor GATA3 initiated gga-miR-155-5p expression in IBDV-infected cells by directly binding to its promoter, suppressing viral replication. Furthermore, induction of GATA3 expression was attributable to the recognition of dsRNA by MDA5, which initiates signal transduction via TBK1 and IRF7. Thus, it is clear that IBDV induces GATA3 expression via MDA5-TBK1-IRF7 signaling pathway, thereby suppressing IBDV replication by GATA3-mediated gga-miR-155-5p expression. This information remarkably expands our knowledge of the roles for GATA3 as an antivirus transcription factor in host innate immune response particularly at an RNA level and may prove valuable in the development of antiviral drugs for public health.

Abstract
A disruption in the expression of gga-miR-365-3p was confirmed in the Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG)-infected Chicken primary alveolar type II epithelial (CP-II) cells based on previous sequencing results, but the role it plays in the infection was unclear. In the present study, we demonstrate that MG evaded cellular host immunity via a gga-miR-365-3p/SOCS5-JAK/STATs negative feedback loop. Specifically, we found that at the initial stage of MG infection in cells, gga-miR-365-3p was rapidly increased and activated the JAK/STAT signaling pathway by inhibiting SOCS5, which induced the secretion of inflammatory factors and triggered immune response against MG infection. Over time, though, the infection progressed, MG gradually destroyed the immune defences of CP-II cells. In late stages of infection, MG escaped host immunity by reducing intracellular gga-miR-365-3p and inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway to suppress the secretion of inflammatory factors and promote MG adhesion or invasion. These results revealed the game between MG and host cell interactions, providing a new perspective to gain insight into the pathogenic mechanisms of MG or other pathogens. Meanwhile, they also contributed to novel thoughts on the prevention and control of MG and other pathogenic infections, shedding light on the immune modulating response triggered by pathogen invasion and their molecular targeting.

Abstract
Stress-induced immunosuppression can affect the immune effect of vaccine. However, the mechanism of stress-induced immunosuppression affecting immune response to infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) vaccine in chicken is still unclear. In this study, thirteen IBDV related circulating miRNAs were selected to study their expressions, possible functions and mechanisms in dexamethasone (Dex)-induced immunosuppressed chicken vaccinated with IBDV attenuated vaccine. The experiment aimed to explore the relationship between the expressions of IBDV related circulating miRNAs and stress-induced immunosuppression. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) results showed that Dex-induced immunosuppression could induce the differential expressions of the candidate serum circulating miRNAs, especially on the 2nd, 5th, 7th and 28th day after dexamethasone treatment. Dex-induced immunosuppression could affect the immune response to the IBDV vaccine, which was possibly achieved by partially regulating the differential expressions of the IBDV related circulating miRNAs. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the candidate miRNAs could regulate the immune function mainly through targeting genes (such as CREB1 and MAPK1) in TGF-β and MAPK signaling pathways. This study can provide a preliminary reference for further studying the function and mechanism of circulating miRNAs in immune regulation.

Abstract
As the causative agent of Newcastle disease (ND), Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has seriously restricted the development of the poultry industry. Previous research has shown that miRNAs, members of the small noncoding RNA family, are implicated in the regulation NDV replication through extensive interactions with host mRNAs, but whether miRNAs affect NDV replication by directly binding to the NDV antigenome remains unclear. In this study, potential Gallus gallus miRNAs targeting the antigenome of NDV were bioinformatically predicted using the online software RegRNA 2.0, and gga-miR-1603 and gga-miR-1794 were identified as targeting the viral L gene directly through dual-luciferase reporter assays. Sequence alignment analysis demonstrated that multiple genotypes of NDVs harbored highly conserved binding sites for gga-miR-1603 and gga-miR-1794 in the viral antigenome located at 8611–8634 nt and 14,490–14,514 nt, respectively. Meanwhile, we found that gga-miR-1603 and gga-miR-1794 negatively regulated the expression of viral L gene at both the RNA and protein levels, as well as viral replication in vitro. Furthermore, NDV infection had no effect on endogenous gga-miR-1603 and gga-miR-1794 expression in various avian cell lines. Overall, our present study demonstrated that gga-miR-1603 and gga-miR-1794 directly bind to the viral L gene to facilitate ts degradation and inhibit the replication of multiple genotypes of NDVs in vitro. These findings will provide us with important clues for antiviral therapy against NDV infection.

Abstract
The host immune system has multiple innate immune receptors that can identify, distinguish and react to viral infections. In innate immune response, the host recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) in nucleic acids or viral proteins through pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs), especially toll-like receptors (TLRs) and induces immune cells or infected cells to produce type I Interferons (IFN-I) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, thus when the virus invades the host, innate immunity is the earliest immune mechanism. Besides, cytokine-mediated cell communication is necessary for the proper regulation of immune responses. Therefore, the appropriate activation of innate immunity is necessary for the normal life activities of cells. The suppressor of the cytokine signaling proteins (SOCS) family is one of the main regulators of the innate immune response induced by microbial pathogens. They mainly participate in the negative feedback regulation of cytokine signal transduction through Janus kinase signal transducer and transcriptional activator (JAK/STAT) and other signal pathways. Taken together, this paper reviews the SOCS proteins structures and the function of each domain, as well as the latest knowledge of the role of SOCS proteins in innate immune caused by viral infections and the mechanisms by which SOCS proteins assist viruses to escape host innate immunity. Finally, we discuss potential values of these proteins in future targeted therapies.

Epigenetic Regulation by Non-Coding RNAs in the Avian Immune System. Life (Basel) 2020; 10:life10080148. [PMID: 32806547 PMCID: PMC7459779 DOI: 10.3390/life10080148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) include circular RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs, ribosomal RNAs, small interfering RNAs, small nuclear RNAs, piwi-interacting RNAs, and transfer RNAs, etc. Among them, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and microRNAs are regulatory RNAs that have different functional mechanisms and were extensively participated in various biological processes. Numerous research studies have found that circular RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and microRNAs played their important roles in avian immune system during the infection of parasites, virus, or bacterium. Here, we specifically review and expand this knowledge with current advances of circular RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and microRNAs in the regulation of different avian diseases and discuss their functional mechanisms in response to avian diseases.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) is known to be an important regulator of muscle growth and development. The regulation of microRNA on the skeletal muscle phenotype of animals is mainly achieved by regulating the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts. In this study, we sequenced a total of 60 samples from 15 developing stages of the pectoral muscle and five other tissues at 300 days of Tibetan chicken. We characterized the expression patterns of miRNAs across muscle developmental stages, and found that the chicken growth and development stage was divided into early-embryonic and late-embryonic as well as postnatal stages. We identified 81 and 21 DE-miRNAs by comparing the miRNA profiles of pectoral muscle of three broad periods and different tissues, respectively; and 271 miRNAs showed time-course patterns. Their potential targets were predicted and used for functional enrichment to understand their regulatory functions. Significantly, GgmiRNA-454 is a time-dependent and tissue-differential expression miRNA. In order to elucidate the role of gga-miRNA-454 in the differentiation of myoblasts, we cultured chicken myoblasts in vitro. The results show that although gga-miRNA-454-3p initiates increase and thereafter decrease during the chicken myoblasts differentiation, it had no effect on primary myoblasts proliferation. Furthermore, we confirm that gga-miRNA-454 inhibits myoblast differentiation by targeting the myotube-associated protein SBF2.

Duck Tembusu virus promotes the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 by downregulating miR-148a-5p to facilitate virus replication. INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2020; 85:104392. [PMID: 32534026 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2020.104392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2020] [Revised: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV), an emerging infectious pathogen, has caused severe disease in ducks and huge economic losses to the poultry industry in China since 2009. Despite considerable advances in understanding the effects of microRNAs on host antiviral immune responses, it remains unclear how miRNAs regulate DTMUV replication in duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells. This study aims to clarify the role of host microRNA-148a-5p (miR-148a-5p) in regulating DTMUV replication by targeting SOCS1. First, we found that during DTMUV infection, the expression of miR-148a-5p in DEFs was downregulated in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner, while the expression of SOCS1 was significantly upregulated. In addition, we found that when miR-148a-5p mimics were transfected into DEFs, viral RNA copies, viral E protein expression levels and viral titres, which represent viral replication and proliferation, were significantly downregulated, while the opposite result was observed when miR-148a-5p inhibitor was transfected into DEFs. Next, we found that SOCS1 was the target gene of miR-148a-5p through software analysis. Therefore, we further confirmed that SOCS1 was the target of miR-148a-5p and that miR-148a-5p could negatively regulate the expression of SOCS1 at the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, our results indicated that overexpression of SOCS1 promoted DTMUV replication, while knockdown of SOCS1 inhibited DTMUV replication. Finally, we found that in DTMUV-infected DEFs, the overexpression of SOCS1 inhibited the production of IFN-α and IFN-β, while knocking down SOCS1 produced the opposite result. This indicates that during DTMUV infection, the virus promotes the expression of SOCS1 by downregulating the expression of miR-148a-5p, while the upregulation of SOCS1 suppresses the production of type I interferon and promotes virus replication. Taken together, these findings provide new insights into virus-host interactions during DTMUV infection and provide potential new antiviral treatment strategies for DTMUV infection.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an acute, highly contagious and immunosuppressive avian disease caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis of IBDV infection and the host response, including apoptosis, autophagy and the inhibition of innate immunity. Not only a number of host proteins interacting with or targeted by viral proteins participate in these processes, but microRNAs (miRNAs) are also involved in the host response to IBDV infection. If an IBDV-host interaction at the protein level is taken imaginatively as the front line of the battle between invaders (pathogens) and defenders (host cells), their fight at the RNA level resembles the hidden front line. miRNAs are a class of non-coding single-stranded endogenous RNA molecules with a length of approximately 22 nucleotides (nt) that play important roles in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Insights into the roles of viral proteins and miRNAs in host response will add to the understanding of the pathogenesis of IBDV infection. The interaction of viral proteins with cellular targets during IBDV infection were previously well-reviewed. This review focuses mainly on the current knowledge of the host response to IBDV infection at the RNA level, in particular, of the nine well-characterized miRNAs that affect cell apoptosis, the innate immune response and viral replication.

Abstract
Feline viral rhinotracheitis is a prevalent disease among cats caused by feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1). microRNAs (miRNAs), which serve as important regulatory factors in the host, participate in the regulation of the host innate immune response to virus infection. However, the roles of miRNAs in the FHV-1 life cycle remain unclear. In this study, we found that a new miRNA, miR-101, could suppress FHV-1 replication. FHV-1 infection upregulated the expression level of miR-101 in a cGAS-dependent manner. Furthermore, miR-101 could significantly enhance type I interferon antiviral signaling by targeting suppressor of cytokine signaling 5 (SOCS5), a negative regulator of the JAK-STAT pathway. Likewise, knockdown of cellular SOCS5 also suppressed FHV-1 replication due to the enhancement of IFN-I-induced signaling cascades. Taken together, our data demonstrated a new strategy for miR-101-mediated defense against FHV-1 infection by enhancing IFN-I antiviral signaling and increased the knowledge of miRNAs regulating innate immune signaling pathways.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs playing an important role in host response to pathogenic infection. Here we show that IBDV infection induced the demethylation of the pre-miR-27 promoter and upregulated gga-miR-27b-3p expression. We found that ectopic expression of miR-27b-3p in DF-1 cells enhanced the expression of chicken IFN-β, IRF3 and NF-κB, via directly targeting cellular suppressors of cytokine signaling 3 and 6 (SOCS3 and 6), inhibiting IBDV replication in host cells, while inhibition of endogenous miR-27b-3p by its inhibitors suppressed the expression of IFN-β, IRF3 and NF-κB, enhancing SOCS3 and 6 expressions and facilitating IBDV replication. Furthermore, transfection of DF-1 cells with miR-27b-3p markedly increased phosphorylation of STAT1 on Tyr701 in cells post chIFN-γ treatment. On the contrary, inhibition of endogenous miR-27b-3p reduced phosphorylation of STAT1 on Tyr701 in cells with chIFN-γ treatment. These findings indicate that gga-miR-27b-3p serves as an inducible antiviral mediator in host response to IBDV infection.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that inhibit protein translation from target mRNAs. Accumulating evidence suggests that miRNAs can regulate a broad range of biological pathways, including cell differentiation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis. With the development of miRNAs, the investigation of miRNA functions has emerged as a hot research field. Due to the intensive farming in recent decades, chickens are easily influenced by various pathogen transmissions, and this has resulted in large economic losses. Recent reports have shown that miRNAs can play critical roles in the regulation of chicken diseases. Therefore, the aim of this review is to briefly discuss the current knowledge regarding the effects of miRNAs on chickens suffering from common viral diseases, mycoplasmosis, necrotic enteritis, and ovarian tumors. Additionally, the detailed targets of miRNAs and their possible functions are also summarized. This review intends to highlight the key role of miRNAs in regard to chickens and presents the possibility of improving chicken disease resistance through the regulation of miRNAs.

Epigenetic Upregulation of Chicken MicroRNA-16-5p Expression in DF-1 Cells following Infection with Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) Enhances IBDV-Induced Apoptosis and Viral Replication. J Virol 2020; 94:JVI.01724-19. [PMID: 31694944 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01724-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally by silencing or degrading their targets and play important roles in the host response to pathogenic infection. Although infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV)-induced apoptosis in host cells has been established, the underlying molecular mechanism is not completely unraveled. Here, we show that infection of DF-1 cells by IBDV induced gga-miR-16-5p (chicken miR-16-5p) expression via demethylation of the pre-miR-16-2 (gga-miR-16-5p precursor) promoter. We found that ectopic expression of gga-miR-16-5p in DF-1 cells enhanced IBDV-induced apoptosis by directly targeting the cellular antiapoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), facilitating IBDV replication in DF-1 cells. In contrast, inhibition of endogenous miR-16-5p markedly suppressed apoptosis associated with enhanced Bcl-2 expression, arresting viral replication in DF-1 cells. Furthermore, infection of DF-1 cells with IBDV reduced Bcl-2 expression, and this reduction could be abolished by inhibition of gga-miR-16-5p expression. Moreover, transfection of DF-1 cells with gga-miR-16-5p mimics enhanced IBDV-induced apoptosis associated with increased cytochrome c release and caspase-9 and -3 activation, and inhibition of caspase-3 decreased IBDV growth in DF-1 cells. Thus, epigenetic upregulation of gga-miR-16-5p expression by IBDV infection enhances IBDV-induced apoptosis by targeting the cellular antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, facilitating IBDV replication in host cells.IMPORTANCE Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an acute, highly contagious, and immunosuppressive disease in young chickens, causing severe economic losses to stakeholders across the globe. Although IBD virus (IBDV)-induced apoptosis in the host has been established, the underlying mechanism is not very clear. Here, we show that infection of DF-1 cells by IBDV upregulated gga-miR-16-5p expression via demethylation of the pre-miR-16-2 promoter. Overexpression of gga-miR-16-5p enhanced IBDV-induced apoptosis associated with increased cytochrome c release and caspase-9 and -3 activation. Importantly, we found that IBDV infection induced expression of gga-miR-16-5p that triggered apoptosis by targeting Bcl-2, favoring IBDV replication, while inhibition of gga-miR-16-5p in IBDV-infected cells restored Bcl-2 expression, slowing down viral growth, indicating that IBDV induces apoptosis by epigenetic upregulation of gga-miR-16-5p expression. These findings uncover a novel mechanism employed by IBDV for its own benefit, which may be used as a potential target for intervening IBDV infection.

Avian immunosuppressive diseases refer to those avian diseases caused by pathogens that target and damage the immune organs or cells of the host, increasing susceptibility to other microbial infections and the risk of failure in subsequent vaccination against other diseases. As such, once a disease with an immunosuppressive feature occurs in flocks, it would be difficult for the stakeholders to have an optimal economic income. Infectious bursal disease (IBD), avian leukemia (AL), Marek’s disease (MD), chicken infectious anemia (CIA), reticuloendotheliosis (RE) and avian reovirus infection are on the top list of commonly-seen avian diseases with a feature of immunosuppression, posing an unmeasurable threat to the poultry industry across the globe. Understanding the pathogenesis of avian immunosuppressive disease is the basis for disease prevention and control. miRNAs have been shown to be involved in host response to pathogenic infections in chickens, including regulation of immunity, tumorigenesis, cell proliferation and viral replication. Here we summarize current knowledge on the roles of miRNAs in avian response to viral infection and pathogenesis of avian immunosuppressive diseases, in particular, MD, AL, IBD and RE.

Abstract
As is known, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation contributes to liver cirrhosis. This study aims to find out the acting mechanisms of miR-454 inhibiting the activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells. The expression of Col1A1, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Wnt10a were determined by western blot, and the miR-454 level was determined by quantitative real-time PCR in this study. We took two objects as experiment subjects, one was liver cirrhosis rats, and the other was transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-stimulated HSC-T6 cells. After activated with TGF-β1 and transfected with microRNA-454 mimic, separately or successively, the changes on the Col1A1 and α-SMA expression, HSC proliferation, miR-454 level and Wnt10a expression were examined in HSC-T6 cells, respectively. Interaction between miR-454 and Wnt10a was evaluated with dual luciferase reporter assay. MiR-454 expression was down-regulated in tissues of liver cirrhosis rats. TGF-β1 caused the down-regulation of the miR-454 in HSC-T6 cells. MiR-454 inhibited the activation and proliferation of HSC-T6 cells. Wnt10a had a targeting relationship with miR-454. TGF-β1 promoted HSC-T6 activation and proliferation via down-regulating miR-454 expression, which further up-regulated Wnt10a expression. MiR-454 mimic inhibited cirrhosis progression in liver cirrhosis rats. MiR-454 can inhibit the activation and proliferation of HSCs via suppressing the expression of Wnt10a, to restrain liver cirrhosis.
