A novel circRNA, circBCL2L1, was discovered to play a crucial role in the innate immune responses of teleost fish by competitively regulating TRAF6 with miR-30c-33p, activating the inflammatory pathway, and enhancing the immune responses.
Growing numbers of studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) can function as regulatory factors to regulate the innate immune response, cell proliferation, cell migration, and other important processes in mammals. However, the function and regulatory mechanism of circRNAs in lower vertebrates are still unclear. Here, we discovered a novel circRNA derived from the gene encoding Bcl-2-like protein 1 (BCL2L1) gene, named circBCL2L1, which was related to the innate immune responses in teleost fish. Results indicated that circBCL2L1 played essential roles in host antiviral immunity and antibacterial immunity. Our study also identified a microRNA, miR-30c-33p, which could inhibit the innate immune response by targeting inflammatory mediator TRAF6. And TRAF6 is a key signal transduction factor in innate immune response mediated by TLRs. Moreover, we also found that the antiviral and antibacterial effects inhibited by miR-30c-3-3p could be reversed with the expression of circBCL2L1. Our data revealed that circBCL2L1 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of TRAF6 by competing for binding with miR-30c-33p, leading to activation of the NF-kappa B/IRF3 inflammatory pathway and then enhancing the innate immune responses. Our results suggest that circRNAs can play an important role in the innate immune response of teleost fish.
