Abstract

MiRNAs are single-stranded short noncoding sequences which display crucial roles on gene transcription regulation in many biological processes especially such as embryonic development, cell proliferation or apoptosis. Also, they are recognized for triggering the host's internal defence mechanisms and immune cell responses thereby playing crucial role in host-parasite interactions. In the present study, a snap-shot of miRNAs, referred to as the miRNome, is described from the hemolymph, the main immune-related compartment of snails, one of the intermediate hosts of the trematode parasite , the causative agent of schistosomiasis. A high throughput sequencing approach of small RNAs has revealed the presence of 63 miRNAs in the hemolymphatic compartment. Mollusc-specific miRNAs including 5p and 5p were identified, along with 25 novel miRNAs. Bioinformatic predictions, thanks to multiple software tools, helped us to identify more than 6000 potential miRNA target gene candidates. Among them is BgTEP1, a complement-like factor involved in parasite clearance. Interestingly, this factor appeared to be targeted by a newly identified miRNA, named . Our study underscores the inherent diversity of miRNAs in the hemolymph of and discusses their potential role in the regulation of the snail's innate immune response.

摘要

微小RNA(miRNAs)是单链短非编码序列,在许多生物过程中,尤其是胚胎发育、细胞增殖或凋亡等过程的基因转录调控中发挥着关键作用。此外,它们还因触发宿主的内部防御机制和免疫细胞反应而被认可,从而在宿主与寄生虫的相互作用中发挥关键作用。在本研究中,我们描述了一种来自血吸虫病病原体——吸虫寄生虫中间宿主之一的蜗牛的主要免疫相关隔室血淋巴中的微小RNA概况,即微小RNA组。一种针对小RNA的高通量测序方法揭示了血淋巴隔室中存在63种微小RNA。我们鉴定出了包括5p和5p在内的软体动物特异性微小RNA,以及25种新的微小RNA。借助多种软件工具进行的生物信息学预测帮助我们识别出了6000多个潜在的微小RNA靶基因候选物。其中包括BgTEP1,一种参与寄生虫清除的补体样因子。有趣的是,这个因子似乎被一种新鉴定出的名为 的微小RNA靶向。我们的研究强调了 血淋巴中微小RNA的内在多样性,并讨论了它们在调节蜗牛先天免疫反应中的潜在作用。
