The invention discloses application of long-chain non-coding
RNA (LncRNA) XR002626937.1 in regulation and control of replication of
canine coronavirus (CCoV), and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. The
nucleotide sequence of the LncRNA XR002626937.1 is as shown in SEQ ID No.1, is mainly positioned in a
cell nucleus, is remarkably up-regulated in time and
dose dependence after MDCK cells are infected by CCoV, and is positively correlated with
virus load. Functional experiments prove that overexpression of the LncRNA can significantly promote CCoV replication, and knock-down of the expression of the LncRNA can effectively inhibit
virus proliferation; the action mechanism comprises the steps of inhibiting activation of a p53
signal channel and downstream target genes p21 and Bax, repressing
apoptosis of infected cells, antagonizing expression of natural
immune factors such as RIG-I, MAVS, ISG15 and the like, promoting
virus immune escape, and being capable of serving as competitive endogenous
RNA to adsorb miR-10926-z to regulate and control the downstream
signal channel. The key function of the LncRNA XR002626937.1 in CCoV infection is defined for the first time, a new target spot and a theoretical basis are provided for developing the anti-CCoV
medicine targeting the LncRNA, and the application prospect is wide.
