Identification and analysis of expression of novel microRNAs of murine gammaherpesvirus 68

ABSTRACT: Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) is closely related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and KaposiM-bM-^@M-^Ys sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and provides a small animal model to study the pathogenesis of gammaherpesvirus (M-NM-3HV) infections. To completely explore the potential of the MHV-68 system for the investigation of gHV miRNAs, it would be desirable to know the number and expression patterns of all miRNAs encoded by MHV-68. By using small RNA deep sequencing, we systematically investigated the MHV-68 miRNA expression profiles in both lytically and persistently infected cells. In addition to the known nine MHV-68 miRNAs, we identified six novel MHV-68 miRNA genes and analyzed the expression levels of all MHV-68 miRNAs. Furthermore, we also characterized the cellular miRNA expression signatures in MHV-68 infected versus non-infected NIH3T3 fibroblasts and in TPA-treated versus non-treated S11 cells. We found that mmu-mir-15b and mmu-mir-16 are highly upregulated upon MHV-68 infection of NIH3T3 cells, indicating a potential role of cellular miRNAs during MHV-68 infection. Our data will aid to fully explore the functions of gHV miRNAs. A mouse fibroblast cell line infected with/without MHV-68 and a MHV-68 infected mouse B lymphoma cell line treated with/without TPA (4 samples in total) were examined.

Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) is closely related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and provides a small-animal model with which to study the pathogenesis of gammaherpesvirus (gammaHV) infections.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) and endogenous siRNA (endo-siRNA) are two essential classes of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) in eukaryotic organisms. The class of miRNA is diverse and there exist noncanonical miRNAs that bypass the canonical miRNA biogenesis pathway. In order to identify noncanonical miRNAs and endo-siRNAs responding to virus infection and study their potential function, we sequenced small-RNA species from cells lytically infected with murine gammaherpesvirus 68. In addition to 3 novel canonical miRNAs in mouse, two antisense miRNAs in virus and 25 novel noncanonical miRNAs, including miRNAs derived from tRNAs, snoRNAs and introns, in the host were identified. These noncanonical miRNAs exhibited features distinct from canonical miRNAs in the lengths and structures of miRNA hairpins as well as base pairings and first nucleotide preference. Many of the novel miRNAs are conserved in mammals. In addition to several known murine endo-siRNAs detected by the sequencing profiling, a novel locus in the mouse genome was identified to give rise to endo-siRNAs. This novel endo-siRNA locus is comprised of two tandem inverted B4 short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs). Unexpectedly, the SINE-derived endo-siRNAs were found in a variety of sequencing data as well as virus-infected cells. Moreover, a murine miRNA was up-regulated more than 35 fold in infected than in mock-treated cells. The putative target genes of the viral and the up-regulated murine miRNAs were potentially involved in processes of gene transcription and protein phosphorylation and localized to membranes, suggesting their role in manipulating the host basal immune system during lytic infection. Our results extended the number of noncanonical miRNAs in mammals and shed new lights on their potential functions of lytic infection of MHV68. Mouse NIH 3T12 cells infectd with MHV68 (3 samples) and mock-treated (2 samples) were examined.
