摘要:

作为α疱疹病毒的重要成员,马立克病病毒(MDV)感染鸡可引起免疫抑制及快速发作的T细胞淋巴瘤,即马立克病(MD)。此前发现MDV基因组编码大量病毒miRNA,可能在病毒复制、潜伏感染及肿瘤发生中起重要作用。基因敲除miR-M11-5p可显著增强MDV致病性及致瘤性,表明其可能是MD肿瘤抑制因子。为进一步揭示miR-M11-5p介导的调控机制,本研究利用鸡胚成纤维细胞(CEF)总RNA的cDNA为模板,通过hybrid-PCR扩增miR-M11-5p的候选宿主靶基因片段,然后连接至pMD19-T载体、转化至E.coli JM109中构建cDNA文库。对文库菌落进行PCR鉴定、测序分析以及Blast序列对比,共获得77个候选宿主靶基因,其中37个miRNA结合靶点位于候选靶基因的3'-UTR中。进一步通过双荧光素酶报告试验、miR-M11-5p过表达以及RT-qPCR分析,最终鉴定鸡MAFB、LOC776816和RFX7为miR-M11-5p的宿主靶基因。本研究为进一步阐明miR-M11-5p在MDV肿瘤发生中的调控机制奠定了重要基础。

Abstract:

As one of the most important Alphaherpesvirus, Marek's disease virus (MDV) causes immunosuppression and rapid-onset of T-cell lymphoma in its natural host chicken, namely Marek's disease (MD). A large number of viral microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified in the MDV genomes, which may play critical roles in virus replication, latency, and tumourigenesis. It has been previously confirmed that deletion of miR-M11-5p from the viral genome significantly enhances MDV pathogenicity and oncogenicity, suggesting that it may be a tumor suppressor during MDV tumourigenesis. To further reveal the regulatory mechanism mediated by miR-M11-5p in MDV oncogenesis, we have presently performed a hybrid-PCR to amplify the candidate host target genes using the cDNA derived from chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) cellular RNA as template. The PCR products were ligated into the pMD19-T vector and transformed into E. coli JM109 to construct a cDNA library for screening the candidate targets for miR-M4-5p. Based on PCR identification, DNA sequencing and BLAST analysis, a total of 77 candidate genes were obtained, of which 37 binding sites recognized by miR-M11-5p were located in the 3'-UTRs of the mRNA genes. The further analysis of dual luciferase reporter assay (DLRA), miRNA over-expression and RT-qPCR confirmed that three host genes (MAFB, LOC776816 and RFX7) were the final target genes for miR-M11-5p. Our data provide an important foundation for further elucidation of the regulatory mechanism mediated by miR-M11-5p in MDV tumourigenesis.
