摘要: High-throughput transcriptomic analyses have identified numerous candidate miRNA-mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) regulatory networks in teleosts, but most remain without systematic functional validation or mechanistic definition. Here, by interrogating miRNA-lncRNA networks in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gonads, we define their roles in meiotic progression and gonadal development. From preliminary screening, we identified lncRNA74687 as a central node and characterised its function. Subcellular localisation showed predominant nuclear enrichment of lncRNA74687 in gonadal cells. Dual-luciferase assays confirmed miR-15a-5p targeting of Cyclin E (CCNE1) and lncRNA74687. Functional studies showed that concurrent overexpression of lncRNA74687 and inhibition of miR-15a-5p synergistically increased the CCNE1 protein to maximal levels. 5-ethynyl-2 '-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays showed that knockdown of lncRNA74687 and CCNE1 in rainbow trout gonadal (RTG-2) cells reduced proliferation by 36.4% and 41.2%, respectively (p < 0.05). Immunofluorescence indicated that lncRNA74687 increased Synaptonemal Complex Protein 1 (SYCP1) signalling 6.93-fold in gonadal cells via CCNE1. In vivo, lncRNA74687 knockdown increased miR-15a-5p expression 6.34-fold relative to the wild-type controls (p < 0.01). Transcriptomic profiling revealed broad downregulation of meiosis-related genes in lncRNA74687-deficient gonads, with the strongest reduction in mstrg1 expression, indicating a key role of lncRNA74687 in germ-cell meiotic progression. Together, these data show that lncRNA74687 enhances CCNE1 mRNA and the CCNE1 protein in rainbow trout by competitively binding miR-15a-5p. This lncRNA74687-miR-15a-5p-CCNE1 axis regulates gonadal cell proliferation and meiotic gene expression during gonadal development.
