MicroRNA-124 Promotes Singapore Grouper Iridovirus Replication and Negatively Regulates Innate Immune Response

Viral infections seriously affect the health of organisms including humans. Now, more and more researchers believe that microRNAs (miRNAs), one of the members of the non-coding RNA family, play significant roles in cell biological function, disease occurrence, and immunotherapy. However, the roles o...

description Viral infections seriously affect the health of organisms including humans. Now, more and more researchers believe that microRNAs (miRNAs), one of the members of the non-coding RNA family, play significant roles in cell biological function, disease occurrence, and immunotherapy. However, the roles of miRNAs in virus infection (entry and replication) and cellular immune response remain poorly understood, especially in low vertebrate fish. In this study, based on the established virus-cell infection model, Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV)-infected cells were used to explore the roles of miR-124 of Epinephelus coioides, an economically mariculture fish in southern China and Southeast Asia, in viral infection and host immune responses.
