MiRNA-328-3p regulates ZO-1 expression and inhibits PEDV proliferation via the PLC-β1-PKC pathway.

ABSTRACT: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a significant pathogen affecting swine, causing severe economic losses worldwide. This study explores the regulatory role of miRNA-328-3p to ZO-1 expression and its impact on PEDV proliferation via the PLC-β1-PKC pathway in IPEC-J2 cells. We found that miRNA-328-3p can target ZO-1, influencing its expression and subsequently affecting the integrity of tight junctions in the cells. Overexpression of PLC-β1, combined with miRNA-328-3p silencing, enhanced ZO-1 expression, while PLC-β1 knockdown combined with miRNA-328-3p overexpression inhibited ZO-1 expression. Furthermore, PLC-β1 overexpression increased both viral genome expression and PEDV titers, whereas its silencing had the opposite effect. Notably, our data indicated a negative correlation bet
