Detection and characterization of microRNA expression profiling and its target genes in response to canine parvovirus in Crandell Reese Feline Kidney cells

Abstract

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in gene regulators in many biological and molecular phenomena. Unraveling the involvement of miRNA as a key cellular factor during in vitro canine parvovirus (CPV) infection may facilitate the discovery of potential intervention candidates. However, the examination of miRNA expression profiles in CPV in tissue culture systems has not been fully elucidated. Method: In the present study, we utilized high-throughput small RNA-seq (sRNAseq) technology to investigate the altered miRNA profiling in miRNA libraries from uninfected (Control) and CPV-2c infected Crandell Reese Feline Kidney cells. Results: We identified five of known miRNAs (miR-222-5p, miR-365-2-5p, miR-1247-3p, miR-322-5p and miR-361-3p) and three novel miRNAs (Novel 137, Novel 141 and Novel 102) by sRNA-seq with differentially expressed genes in the miRNA repertoire of CPV-infected cells over control. We further predicted the potential target genes of the aforementioned miRNAs using sequence homology algorithms. Notably, the targets of miR-1247-3p exhibited a potential function associated with cellular defense and humoral response to CPV. To extend the probing scheme for gene targets of miR-1247-3p, we explored and performed Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of its target genes. We discovered 229 putative targets from a total of 38 enriched GO terms. The top over-represented GO enrichment in biological process were lymphocyte activation and differentiation, marginal zone B cell differentiation, negative regulation of cytokine production, negative regulation of programed cell death, and negative regulation of signaling. We next constructed a GO biological process network composed of 28 target genes of miR-1247-3p, of How to cite this article Chuammitri P, Vannamahaxay S, Sornpet B, Pringproa K, Patchanee P. 2020.

Comparative analysis of the exosomal contents of DF-1 cells infected by ALV-J

“…miR-2954 and the predicted target genes were reported to affect the thymus immune function of chickens (Zhou et al 2019), which play an important role in IBV-host interaction and determine the virulence of the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strain in kidneys (Yang et al 2017). miR-365-2-5p was identified in an in vitro canine parvovirus infection (Chuammitri et al 2020). miR-146b-5p and the predicted target genes were associated with breast muscle growth in chickens (Khatri et al 2018).…”

MicroRNAs as a therapeutic target in IgA nephropathy in Indian population

“…Several biological and molecular processes are mediated by miRNAs. Certain miRNAs regulate the target genes involved in different cellular processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, migration, signaling and apoptosis (9). The expression profiles of miRNAs are specific and vary in different cancer types, such as lung (10), liver (11), breast (12), colon (13), pancreatic (14) and renal cancer (15,16).…”
