摘要
MicroRNAs(miRNAs) encoded by latency-associated transcript are associated with both latent and acute stages of herpes simplex virus 2(HSV-2) infection. In this study, miRNA-H4-5 p and miRNA-H4-3 p were ectopically expressed in HeLa cells to explore potential cellular targets of viral miRNAs and demonstrate their potential biological functions. The results showed that miRNA-H4-5 p could reverse apoptosis induced by actinomycin D(Act-D) and promote cell cycle progression,but miRNA-H4-3 p had no such obvious functions. Bioinformatics analysis, luciferase report assay, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR), and Western blotting demonstrated that miRNA-H4-5 p could bind to the 30-untranslated region(UTR) of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2 A(CDKN2 A) and cyclin-dependent kinase-like 2(CDKL2) to negatively regulate their expression. We verified that these two targeted genes were associated with cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Furthermore, in HeLa cells infected with HSV-2, we detected significantly reduced expression of CDKN2 A and CDKL2 and demonstrated the negative regulation effect of miRNA-H4-5 p on these two target genes. Our findings show that viral miRNAs play a vital role in regulating the expression of the host's cellular genes that participate in cell apoptosis and progression to reshape the cellular environment in response to HSV-2 infection, providing further information on the roles of encoded herpesvirus miRNAs in pathogen–host interaction.
