OncomiR mdv1-miR-M7-5p promotes avian lymphomatosis by modulating the BCL2/Bax mitochondrial apoptosis signaling pathway
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus that infects poultry and causes fatal lymphomas in infected chickens. Notably, the mdv1-miR-M7–5p, a pivotal oncomiR encoded by MDV, is closely associated with viral replication and latency. Here, mdv1-miR-M7–5p was transfected into the chicken lymphoma cell line MSB1, which resulted in the inhibition of lymphoma cell apoptosis and an increase in lymphoma cell proliferation and migration. Additionally, the expression of the tumor suppressor genes p53 and ARRDC3 were significantly downregulated, while the MDV latency-associated genes such as ICP4 and ICP27 were significantly upregulated. The BCL2/Bax ratio was increased while the expression of genes involved in the apoptotic signaling pathway were decreased. Furthermore, our mitochondrial function experiments in MSB1 cells demonstrated that mdv1-miR-M7–5p enhanced mitochondrial ATP release and altered the mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby affecting mitochondrial function and inhibiting lymphoma cell apoptosis. Dual-luciferase assays revealed that mdv1-miR-M7–5p binds to caspase-6. For the in vivo study, a cholesterol-modified inhibitor of mdv1-miR-M7–5p was administered to chickens. Inhibition of mdv1-miR-M7–5p resulted in a lower mortality rate than that in the control groups. Furthermore, the expression levels of the cytokines interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-17 in the plasma of MDV-infected chickens were significantly increased. A marked increase was observed in apoptosis in the spleen tissues, and the expression of apoptosis-related genes including caspase-3 and tumor suppressor gene PTEN in immune organs, including the spleen, bursa of Fabricius, and thymus, were markedly upregulated. In summary, the oncogenic miRNA mdv1-miR-M7–5p promotes MDV latency and may facilitate lymphoma formation by mediating the BCL2/CytC signaling pathway. This mediation enhances mitochondrial function and inhibits lymphoma cell apoptosis, thereby contributing to lymphoma development.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials (''Scope or cope'' and ''Scope or cope II'') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.
Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge.
Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.
