Abstract
Influenza A viruses continue to pose a serious threat to public health and economic stability. To investigate the role of C1RL-AS1 in influenza A virus (IAV) pneumonia. Using RT-qPCR analysis, we determined C1RL-AS1 expression levels in children with IAV-infected pneumonia and A549 cells. C1RL-AS1 expression levels in children were subjected to ROC analysis. C1RL-AS1 was knocked down to investigate its role in IAV-infected A549 cells, including effects on viral nucleoprotein (NP) production, cell survival, and apoptosis. Downstream miRNAs of C1RL-AS1 were predicted and validated. MiR-16-5p target genes were predicted and validated. C1RL-AS1 was up-regulated in IAV-infected children and A549 cells. C1RL-AS1 expression levels distinguished children with IAV pneumonia from healthy children. Knockdown of C1RL-AS1 attenuated viral NP production, promoted A549 cell survival, and inhibited apoptosis. MiR-16-5p was a downstream C1RL-AS1 miRNA. miR-16-5p counteracted the anti-IAV infection effect brought about by C1RL-AS1 knockdown. LAMP3 was a miR-16-5p target gene associated with pneumonia. LAMP3 restored the cellular effects brought about by C1RL-AS1/miR-16-5p co-knockdown. C1RL-AS1 is a possible diagnostic factor for IAV pneumonia in children. C1RL-AS1 may participate in IAV pneumonia by sponging miR-16-5p and then moderating LAMP3.
期刊介绍:
Viruses are convenient models for the elucidation of life processes. The study of viruses is again on the cutting edge of biological sciences: systems biology, genomics, proteomics, metagenomics, using the newest most powerful tools.
Huge amounts of new details on virus interactions with the cell, other pathogens and the hosts – animal (including human), insect, fungal, plant, bacterial, and archaeal - and their role in infection and disease are forthcoming in perplexing details requiring analysis and comments.
Virus Genes is dedicated to the publication of studies on the structure and function of viruses and their genes, the molecular and systems interactions with the host and all applications derived thereof, providing a forum for the analysis of data and discussion of its implications, and the development of new hypotheses.
