Abstract:

Canine influenza (CI) is an infectious disease caused by canine influenza virus (CIV) infection,which is mainly manifested as acute respiratory symptoms.In order to explore the effect of let-7a on CIV induced cells apoptosis,MDCK cells were infected by CIV in vitro,and AO/EB staining and flow cytometry were used to detect cells apoptosis,and the transcription of let-7a was also determined by real time PCR,and the effect of let-7a on cell apoptosis was evaluated by the transfection of let-7a.The results showed that CIV could induce apoptosis of MDCK cells and downregulate the transcription of let-7a in infected cells,and over-transcription of let-7a could effectively inhibit the virus induced apoptosis.This study showe that let-7a plays an anti-apoptotic role in CIV infected cells,and the low transcription of let-7a promotes apoptosis,and this mechanism may play a role in the respiratory tract injury of CIV infected dogs.
