摘要: 目的 本研究探讨miR-4454对寨卡病毒(ZIKV)复制的调节作用及其潜在分子机制。方法 将miR-4454的模拟物(mimic)或inhibitor转染至细胞后,用ZIKV感染,qRT-PCR或western blot分别检测ZIKV NS5 mRNA及NS1蛋白的表达。使用生物信息学软件对miR-4454可能的靶基因进行预测,并验证miR-4454下游靶基因LRPAP1-低密度脂蛋白受体相关蛋白关联蛋白1(low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein associated protein 1, LRPAP1)。将LRPAP1质粒或si-LRPAP1转染至细胞后,再用ZIKV感染,qRT-PCR检测ZIKV NS5 mRNA、干扰素刺激基因的表达,Western blot 检测ZIKV NS1蛋白、IFNAR1和STAT1磷酸化水平,探究LRPAP1表达改变对ZIKV复制和Ⅰ型干扰素信号通路的影响。结果 在细胞中高表达miR-4454抑制ZIKV NS5 mRNA的复制或NS1蛋白的表达。预测得到miR-4454潜在靶基因LRPAP1,其与病毒感染和Ⅰ型干扰素信号通路有关,双荧光素酶报告基因实验证实LRPAP1是miR-4454直接作用的靶基因之一。过表达LRPAP1促进ZIKV复制和抑制Ⅰ型干扰素信号通路,而敲低LRPAP1抑制ZIKV复制以及激活Ⅰ型干扰素信号通路。结论 miR-4454通过固有免疫通路调控ZIKV感染,揭示了其作为潜在靶点的可能性,为相关治疗策略的开发提供了新思路。

Abstract: Objective This study aims to investigate the specific regulatory effect of miR-4454 on ZIKV replication and reveal its potential molecular mechanisms, providing new ideas and targets for the treatment of ZIKV infection. Methods Cells were transfected with miR-4454 mimics or inhibitors and subsequently infected with ZIKV. The expression of ZIKV NS5 mRNA and NS1 protein was measured using qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Bioinformatics tools were employed to predict potential target genes of miR-4454, focusing on the validation of LRPAP1 (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein associated protein 1) as a downstream target. Following the transfection of LRPAP1 plasmid or si-LRPAP1 into cells, ZIKV infection was performed, and qRT-PCR was used to detect ZIKV NS5 mRNA and interferon-stimulated gene expression, while Western blotting assessed the levels of ZIKV NS1 protein, IFNAR1, and phosphorylated STAT1, to explore the effect of LRPAP1 expression changes on ZIKV replication and the Type Ⅰ interferon signaling pathway. Results Overexpression of miR-4454 in cells inhibited the replication of ZIKV NS5 mRNA and expression of NS1 protein. Bioinformatics prediction identified LRPAP1 as a potential target of miR-4454, which is related to viral infection and the Type Ⅰ interferon signaling pathway. Dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed that LRPAP1 is a direct target of miR-4454. Overexpression of LRPAP1 promoted ZIKV replication and suppressed the Type Ⅰ interferon signaling pathway, while knockdown of LRPAP1 inhibited ZIKV replication and activated this signaling pathway. Conclusion miR-4454 modulates ZIKV infection through the intrinsic immune pathway, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target and providing new insights for the development of related treatment strategies.
