Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is an intracellular RNA virus sensor that induces type I interferon-mediated host-protective innate immunity against viral infection. Although cylindromatosis (CYLD) has been shown to negatively regulate innate antiviral response by removing K-63-linked polyubiquitin from RIG-I, the regulation of its expression and the underlying regulatory mechanisms are still incompletely understood. Here we show that RIG-I activity is regulated by inhibition of CYLD expression mediated by the microRNA miR-526a. We found that viral infection specifically upregulates miR-526a expression in macrophages via interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-dependent mechanisms. In turn, miR-526a positively regulates virus-triggered type I interferon (IFN-I) production, thus suppressing viral replication, the underlying mechanism of which is the enhancement of RIG-I K63-linked ubiquitination by miR-526a via suppression of the expression of CYLD. Remarkably, virus-induced miR-526a upregulation and CYLD downregulation are blocked by enterovirus 71 (EV71) 3C protein, while ectopic miR-526a expression inhibits the replication of EV71 virus. The collective results of this study suggest a novel mechanism of the regulation of RIG-I activity during RNA virus infection by miR-526a and suggest a novel mechanism for the evasion of the innate immune response controlled by EV71.

Remarkably, virus-induced miR-526a upregulation and CYLD downregulation are blocked by enterovirus 71 (EV71) 3C protein; cells with overexpressed miR-526a were highly resistant to EV71 infection. The collective results of this study suggest a novel mechanism of the regulation of RIG-I activity during RNA virus infection by miR-526a and propose a novel mechanism for the evasion of the innate immune response controlled by EV71.
视黄酸诱导基因 I(RIG-I)是一种细胞内 RNA 病毒传感器,可诱导 I 型干扰素介导的宿主保护性先天免疫,以抵抗病毒感染。尽管已经表明圆柱瘤病(CYLD)通过从 RIG-I 上去除 K-63 连接的多泛素来负调控先天抗病毒反应,但它的表达调控及其潜在的调控机制仍不完全清楚。在这里,我们表明 RIG-I 的活性受到 miR-526a 介导的 CYLD 表达抑制的调节。我们发现,病毒感染通过干扰素调节因子(IRF)依赖性机制特异性地上调巨噬细胞中 miR-526a 的表达。反过来,miR-526a 通过抑制 CYLD 的表达正向调节病毒触发的 I 型干扰素(IFN-I)的产生,从而抑制病毒复制,其潜在机制是通过抑制 CYLD 的表达增强 RIG-I 的 K63 连接的泛素化。值得注意的是,肠道病毒 71(EV71)3C 蛋白阻断病毒诱导的 miR-526a 上调和 CYLD 下调,而外源性 miR-526a 表达抑制 EV71 病毒的复制。本研究的综合结果表明,miR-526a 通过调节 RIG-I 活性在 RNA 病毒感染期间提供了一种新的机制,并提出了 EV71 控制的先天免疫反应逃避的一种新机制。
