evaluation of the hsv-1 lat transcript expression effects on tgf-β signaling pathway in human neuroblastoma cells

چکیده
objective: infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 induces viral latency in neuron trigeminal ganglions. the late associated transcript (lat) is uniquely expressed in infected neural cells, however no coding protein associated with these transcripts has been identified in infected cells. it has been shown that six micrornas transcribed from lat have the capabilities to affect the cell signaling pathways, thus interfering in pathways such as those of cell differentiation and proliferation. transforming growth factor beta (tgf-β) pathway is a critical pathway among cell signaling circuits. the smad4 protein, as an important member of the tgf-β signaling pathway, mediates the connection between membrane receptors, cytoplasmic kinases, and nuclear transcription factors. methods: this study bioinformatically and experimentally evaluated lat microrna expression and assessed microrna targeting of smad4 transcripts in human neuroblastoma cells by using real-time pcr. results: analysis of two different softwares results showed that the smad4 gene was targeted by lat-derived micrornas at multiple sites. over-expression of lat micrornas in be2(c) cells caused reduction in smad4 transcripts. conclusion: the results of bioinformatical analysis with relative quantification of smad4 transcripts and its downstream-related genes such as cyclind, cdk2, and myc showed that the lat transcript could control smad4 expression.

LAT-derived microRNAs in HSV-1 target SMAD3 and SMAD4 in TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway
Background: During its latent infection, HSV-1 produces only a miRNA precursor called LAT, which encodes six distinct miRNAs. Recent studies have suggested that some of these miRNAs could target cellular mRNAs. One of the key cell signaling pathways that can be affected by HSV-1 is the TGF-β/Smad pathway. Herein, we investigated the potential role of the LAT as well as three LAT-derived miRNAs ...

miR-320 regulates inflammation in EAE through interference with TGF-β signaling pathway
Background: MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression and involve in many cellular and physiological mechanisems. Recent studies have revealed that dysregulation of microRNAs might contribute to autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. Based on these findings, we examined the potential role of miR-320 isoforms, miR-320-3p and miR-320-5p, in the context of autoimmu...
