MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs that play crucial roles in numerous biological processes. However, the role of miRNAs in antibacterial defence in fish has not been fully determined. Here, we identified that nine miRNAs are differentially expressed in kidney between susceptible and resistant grass carp strains. Analysis of spatial and temporal miRNA expression patterns suggests that cid-miRn-115 and miR-142a-3p are potential regulators of anti-bacterial activity. Overexpressing of cid-miRn-115 and miR-142a-3p results in a visible change in Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney (CIK) cells immune effector activity. Bioinformatics analysis and overexpressing assay shows that cid-miRn-115 and miR-142a-3p directly regulate tlr5 expression. cid-miRn-115 and miR-142a-3p overexpressing leads to a significant decrease in tlr5 expression in CIK, thereby repressing its downstream genes, such as il-1β, il-8 and tnf-α. These findings provide a novel insight into the determination of anti-bacterial compounds in grass carp.
微小RNA(miRNA)是内源性小非编码RNA,在众多生物学过程中发挥关键作用。然而,miRNA在鱼类抗菌防御中的作用尚未完全确定。在此,我们鉴定出在易感和抗性草鱼品系的肾脏中,有9种miRNA差异表达。对miRNA时空表达模式的分析表明,cid-miRn-115和miR-142a-3p是抗菌活性的潜在调节因子。过表达cid-miRn-115和miR-142a-3p会导致草鱼肾脏(CIK)细胞免疫效应活性发生明显变化。生物信息学分析和过表达试验表明,cid-miRn-115和miR-142a-3p直接调节tlr5表达。过表达cid-miRn-115和miR-142a-3p会导致CIK中tlr5表达显著降低,从而抑制其下游基因,如il-1β、il-8和tnf-α。这些发现为草鱼抗菌化合物的测定提供了新的见解。
