摘要： Marek's disease (MD), an immunosuppression disease induced by Marek's disease virus (MDV), is one of the significant diseases affecting the health and productive performance of poultry. The roles of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in MD development were poorly understood. In this study, we found a circRNA derived from exon 6 of RUNX family transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) gene, named circRUNX2.2, was highly expressed in chicken tumorous spleens (TS) induced by MDV. Through fluorescence in situ hybridization and nuclear-cytoplasmic separation assay, we determined circRUNX2.2 was mainly located in the nucleus. Knockout experiments confirmed that the flanking complementary sequences (RCMs) mediated its circularization. Gain of function assay and dual luciferase reporter gene assay revealed that circRUNX2.2 could promote the expression of RUNX2 via binding with its promoter region. RNA antisense purification assay and mass spectrometry assay showed circRUNX2.2 could recruit proteins such as CHD9 protein. Knocking down CHD9 expression decreased the expression of RUNX2 gene, which confirmed the positive regulation that circRUNX2.2 on RUNX2 expression was probably facilitated via recruiting CHD9 protein. Functional experiments showed that circRUNX2.2 promoted the proliferation of the MD lymphoma-derived chicken cell line, MDCC-MSB1, which confirmed the potential oncogenic role of circRNX2.2 in tumor development. In conclusion, we found that the RUNX2-derived circRUNX2.2 can positively regulate the transcription of the parental gene RUNX2 in a cis-acting manner. The high expression of circRUNX2.2 in MD tumor tissues indicated that it might mediate MD lymphoma progression.
