This study revealed the important role of long noncoding RNA IALNCR in BVDV infection, which regulates host antiviral innate immunity against BVDV by controlling cell apoptosis and affecting BVDV replication.
Bovine viral diarrhea-mucosal disease caused by BVDV is an important viral disease in cattle, causing severe economic losses to the cattle industry worldwide. The molecular mechanisms of BVDV-host interactions are complex. Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is the causative agent of the bovine viral diarrhea-mucosal disease, which is a leading cause of economic losses in the cattle industry worldwide. To date, many underlying mechanisms involved in BVDV-host interactions remain unclear, especially the functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). In our previous study, the lncRNA expression profiles of BVDV-infected Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells were obtained by RNA-seq, and a significantly downregulated lncRNA IALNCR targeting MAPK8/JNK1 (a key regulatory factor of apoptosis) was identified through the lncRNA-mRNA coexpression network analysis. In this study, the function of IALNCR in regulating apoptosis to affect BVDV replication was further explored. Our results showed that BVDV infection-induced downregulation of the lncRNA IALNCR in the host cells could suppress the expression of MAPK8/JNK1 at both the mRNA and protein levels, thereby indirectly promoting the activation of caspase-3, leading to cell-autonomous apoptosis to antagonize BVDV replication. This was further confirmed by the small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of the lncRNA IALNCR. However, the overexpression of the lncRNA IALNCR inhibited apoptosis and promoted BVDV replication. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that the lncRNA IALNCR plays an important role in regulating host antiviral innate immunity against BVDV infection. IMPORTANCE Bovine viral diarrhea-mucosal disease caused by BVDV is an important viral disease in cattle, causing severe economic losses to the cattle industry worldwide. The molecular mechanisms of BVDV-host interactions are complex. To date, most studies focused only on how BVDV escapes host innate immunity. By contrast, how the host cell regulates anti-BVDV innate immune responses is rarely reported. In this study, a significantly downregulated lncRNA, with a potential function of inhibiting apoptosis (inhibiting apoptosis long noncoding RNA, IALNCR), was obtained from the lncRNA expression profiles of BVDV-infected cells and was experimentally evaluated for its function in regulating apoptosis and affecting BVDV replication. We demonstrated that downregulation of BVDV infection-induced lncRNA IALNCR displayed antiviral function by positively regulating the MAPK8/JNK1 pathway to promote cell apoptosis. Our data provided evidence that host lncRNAs regulate the innate immune response to BVDV infection.
