摘要： Marek's disease (MD) is a neoplastic disease of chickens caused by an avian alphaherpesvirus, Marek's disease virus (MDV, also known as Gallid alphaherpesvirus 2 [GaHV2]). A total of 14 microRNA (miRNA) precursors and 26 mature miRNAs have been identified in MDV genome, which were grouped in three distinct clusters. In recent years, our studies revealed the role of MDV encoded cluster 3 miRNAs (or miR-M8-M10) and the specific function of its three members, miR-M6, miR-M7 and miR-M10, in regulating MDV replication and pathogenesis. In this study, we characterized the unique function of the other two members, miR-M8 and miR-M13, in cluster 3 miRNAs. Our results show that miR-M8 and miR-M13 are not important for MDV plaque formation and genome replication in vitro. Animal experiment results show that deletion of miR-M8-5p and miR-M13-5p eliminates the bursa atrophy, but not thymus atrophy, of MDV inoculated chickens. In addition, we found that the survival curve and MD incidences were not affected by disruption of miR-M8 and miR-M13. Taken together, this study uncovers the unique role of miR-M8 and miR-M13 in MDV replication and pathogenesis, which filled the gap in the research of MDV encoded miRNAs.
