Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play essential roles in many diseases. However, few studies have shown that lncRNAs take part in the pathogenesis of (). Here, we used a lncRNA microarray to detect the global lncRNA expression profiles in HeLa cells transfected with pORF5 plasmid protein, an important virulence factor for . The differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs screened by microarray were selected for validation by quantitative real-time PCR. The up-regulated lncRNA zinc finger antisense 1 (ZFAS1) was presumed to involved in MAPK pathways by bioinformatics analysis. Inhibition of ZFAS1 decreased the apoptotic rate of pORF5 and reduced the infectivity of , and MAPK/p38 pathway was involved in anti-apoptotic effect induced by ZFAS1. Therefore, the present study confirmed that pORF5 up-regulates ZFAS1 to promote host cell survival via MAPK/p38 pathway and influences the infectivity of
长链非编码RNA(lncRNAs)已被证明在许多疾病中发挥重要作用。然而,很少有研究表明lncRNAs参与()的发病机制。在此,我们使用lncRNA微阵列检测转染了pORF5质粒蛋白(一种重要的毒力因子)的HeLa细胞中的全局lncRNA表达谱。通过微阵列筛选出的差异表达lncRNAs和mRNAs通过定量实时PCR进行验证。通过生物信息学分析推测上调的lncRNA锌指反义1(ZFAS1)参与丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)通路。抑制ZFAS1可降低pORF5的凋亡率并降低()的感染性,且MAPK/p38通路参与ZFAS1诱导的抗凋亡作用。因此,本研究证实pORF5通过MAPK/p38通路上调ZFAS1以促进宿主细胞存活并影响()的感染性
