Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to the use of lncRNA in regulating the replication of bovine infectious rhinotracheitis virus. Background Art
[0002] Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) exceeding 200 nucleotides in length. It is primarily distributed in the cytoplasm, nucleus, and exosomes. Its structure is similar to that of messenger RNA, lacking an open reading frame (ORF). lncRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II or III, with cell-, tissue-, and stage-specific transcription, and play diverse roles in different biological processes. They possess a 5′ cap and may or may not have a poly(A) tail. While they typically do not encode proteins, they participate in gene regulation through various RNA pathways, including epigenetic, transcriptional, and post-transcriptional regulation.
[0003] Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus (IBRV), also known as bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1), is a member of the Herpesviridae family, subfamily Herpesvirinae, and genus Vesiculovirinae. The virus is a double-stranded DNA enveloped virus with a diameter of approximately 130-180 nm. Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), also known as necrotizing rhinitis or red nose, is a respiratory contagious disease of cattle caused by BHV-1. Clinical manifestations vary, primarily affecting the respiratory tract, accompanied by conjunctivitis, abortion, mastitis, and sometimes calf encephalitis. Acute IBR respiratory infection can also lead to secondary bacterial pneumonia. This disease is currently prevalent worldwide, significantly impacting milk production in dairy cows, fertility in bulls, and the workability of draft cattle.

The main features of the present invention may be applied to various embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
[0105] Example 1 Detection of lncRNA-6up expression in virus-infected MDBK cells
[0106] 1 Experimental methods
[0107] 1.1 Recovery and passaging of MDBK cells
[0108] MDBK cells were removed from liquid nitrogen and revived, placed in DMEM complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum + 1% penicillin-streptomycin double antibody, and cultured in a cell culture incubator (37°C, 5% CO2) for 24-36 hours. When the cell density reached about 80%, they were digested with trypsin-EDTA (0.25%) digestion solution containing phenol red and passaged at a ratio of 1:2. The DMEM complete medium was the same as above and cultured in a cell culture incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 24-36 hours to achieve a cell density of about 80%.
[0109] 1.2 BHV-1 infection of MDBK cells
[0110] MDBK cells grown to about 80% were washed with Hanks solution, and BHV-1 was inoculated into MDBK cells cultured to a monolayer at a dose of 1 MOI. After 1 h, DMEM culture medium containing only 1% penicillin and streptomycin was added, and the cells were cultured in a cell culture incubator (37°C, 5% CO2). At the same time, cells not inoculated with the virus were set as the control group. The cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed and photographed at different times after infection (18 h, 24 h, and 33 h).
[0111] 1.3 Sampling
[0112] Sampling was performed at different time periods (18 h, 24 h, and 33 h). The samples were first washed with Hanks solution, then digested with Trizol, and finally collected into nuclease-free cell cryopreservation tubes. The cryopreservation tubes were sealed with sealing film, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen, and then transported on dry ice to Guangzhou Kidio Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for high-throughput sequencing.
[0113] 1.4 High-throughput sequencing
[0114] Transcriptome sequencing of the samples was performed using Illumina HiSeq second-generation high-throughput sequencing technology. After total RNA was extracted, ribosomal RNA was removed to maximize the retention of all coding RNAs and lncRNAs. The resulting RNA was randomly fragmented into short fragments. The fragmented RNA was then used as a template for first-strand cDNA synthesis using six-base random primers. Second-strand cDNA was then synthesized using buffer, dNTPs (dUTP instead of dTTP), RNase H, and DNA polymerase I. Purification was performed using a QiaQuick PCR kit, elution with EB buffer, end-repair, addition of A bases, and sequencing adapters. The second-strand cDNA was then degraded with UNG (Uracil-N-Glycosylase) enzyme, and sequencing libraries were constructed. The constructed sequencing libraries were then sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq™ 4000.
[0115] 1.5 lncRNA transcript analysis and statistics
[0116] After filtering the offline data to obtain clean data, the reads were compared to the reference genome using Hisat2. Because the sources of lncRNAs are complex and different transcripts from the same gene can produce significant differences in lncRNAs, lncRNA analysis is performed based on transcripts. Currently, lncRNA research is incomplete, necessitating the prediction of novel lncRNAs. The identification steps are as follows: ① Reconstruct transcripts using Stringtie software; ② Filter transcripts with a length ≥ 200 bp and a number of exons ≥ 2 (≥ 1 for plant samples); ③ Predict the coding capacity of novel transcripts using CPC and CNCI software, taking the intersection of these transcripts without coding potential as the reliable prediction result.
[0117] In this study, gene expression is expressed in FPKM (fragments per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads), which is the number of sequenced fragments per thousand sequenced bases per million sequenced bases. In this study, a lncRNA FPKM > 0.5 was considered expressed. Expression distribution plots were used to visualize the expression distribution of lncRNA transcripts across different samples.
[0118] 1.6 lncRNA overall differential analysis
[0119] According to the experimental design, differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened at three different time periods (18 hours, 24 hours, and 33 hours) after MDBK cells were infected with BHV-1. The groups with the highest number of differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified by comparing the experimental groups with the control group and by pairwise comparisons between the experimental groups. Based on the results of the differential analysis, the differentially expressed lncRNAs were analyzed using DESeq2 software. lncRNAs with a FDR < 0.05 and |log2FC| > 1 were identified as significantly differentially expressed lncRNAs. After identifying the differentially expressed lncRNA genes in each group, the conditional function (ifelse) was used to add gene expression significance to the differentially expressed genes. The criteria for determining gene expression significance were: log2FC > 1 and FDR < 0.05 for up-regulated genes, and log2FC < -1 and FDR < 0.05 for down-regulated genes.
