摘要： MicroRNAs, a class of noncoding RNAs 18 to 23 nucleotides (nt) in length, play critical roles in a wide variety of biological processes. The objective of this study was to examine differences in microRNA expression profiles derived from the lungs of beagle dogs infected with the avian-origin H3N2 canine influenza virus (CIV) or the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus (canine-origin isolation strain). After dogs were infected with H3N2 or H5N1, microRNA expression in the lungs was assessed using a deep-sequencing approach. To identify the roles of microRNAs in viral pathogenicity and the host immune response, microRNA target genes were predicted, and their functions were analyzed using bioinformatics software. A total of 229 microRNAs were upregulated in the H5N1 infection group compared with those in the H3N2 infection group, and 166 microRNAs were downregulated. MicroRNA target genes in the H5N1 group were more significantly involved in metabolic pathways, such as glycerolipid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism, than those in the H3N2 group. The inhibition of metabolic pathways may lead to appetite loss, weight loss and weakened immunity. Moreover, miR-485, miR-144, miR-133b, miR-4859-5p, miR-6902-3p, miR-7638, miR-1307-3p and miR-1346 were significantly altered microRNAs that potentially led to the inhibition of innate immune pathways and the heightened pathogenicity of H5N1 compared with that of H3N2 in dogs. This study deepens our understanding of the complex relationships among microRNAs, the influenza virus-mediated immune response and immune injury in dogs.
