Modulation of bovine herpesvirus 1 infection by virally encoded microRNAs.
Virus Research 2018 September 16
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), is a member of the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae in the order Herpesviridae and is a ubiquitous pathogen of cattle responsible for significant economic loss worldwide. The BoHV-1 genome encodes at least 10 BoHV-1 microRNA (miRNA) genes, whose functions remain poorly understood. This study sought to understand the role of three BoHV-1 miRNA genes, Bhv1-miR-B6, Bhv1-miR-B8 and Bhv1-miR-B9, which are located proximal to the BoHV-1 origins of replication (OriS). Therefore, plasmids expressing the precursor miRNA hairpins for the Bhv1-miR-B6, Bhv1-miR-B8, and Bhv1-miR-B9 genes were constructed and transfected into Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells prior to BoHV-1 infection. Interestingly, transient expression of either Bhv1-miR-B8 or Bhv1-miR-B9 in Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells prior to infection resulted in partial suppression of BoHV-1 replication, quantified through estimating levels of glycoprotein C mRNA and protein levels. Putative interactions between the mature miRNA bhv1-miR-B8-3p and bhv1-miR-B9 and BoHV-1 transcripts were identified providing plausible pathways for these molecules to affect virus replication. Therefore, these two miRNAs are implicated in the post-transcriptional regulation of BoHV-1 transcripts important for virus replication and could be used to limit BoHV-1 replication.
