MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of regulatory noncoding RNAs, serving as major regulators with a sequence-specific manner in multifarious biological processes. Although a series of viral families have been proved to encode miRNAs, few reports were available regarding the function of ALV-J-encoded miRNA. Here, we reported a novel miRNA (designated ALV-miRNA-p19-01) in ALV-J-infected DF-1 cells. We found that ALV-miRNA-p19-01 is encoded by the genome of the ALV-J SCAU1903 strain (located at nucleotides site 779 to 801) in a classic miRNA biogenesis manner. The transfection of DF-1 cells with ALV-miRNA-p19-01 enhanced ALV-J replication, while the blockage of ALV-miRNA-p19-01 suppressed ALV-J replication. Furthermore, our data showed that ALV-miRNA-p19-01 promotes ALV-J replication by directly targeting the cellular gene dual specificity phosphatase 6 through regulating ERK2 activity.
微小 RNA(miRNAs)是一组调控性非编码 RNA,作为主要的调控因子,以序列特异性方式参与多种生物学过程。虽然已经证实一系列病毒家族编码 miRNA,但关于 ALV-J 编码 miRNA 的功能的报道却很少。在这里,我们在感染 ALV-J 的 DF-1 细胞中报告了一种新型 miRNA(命名为 ALV-miRNA-p19-01)。我们发现,ALV-miRNA-p19-01 是通过经典 miRNA 生物发生方式由 ALV-J SCAU1903 株(位于核苷酸位置 779 到 801)的基因组编码的。用 ALV-miRNA-p19-01 转染 DF-1 细胞可增强 ALV-J 的复制,而阻断 ALV-miRNA-p19-01 则抑制 ALV-J 的复制。此外,我们的数据表明,ALV-miRNA-p19-01 通过调节 ERK2 活性直接靶向细胞基因双特异性磷酸酶 6,从而促进 ALV-J 的复制。
