非编码RNA在流感病毒与宿主互作过程中的作用

Role of Non-coding RNAs in Interactions between Host and Influenza Virus

非编码RNA(non-coding RNA,ncRNA)是一类不具备蛋白质编码能力的RNA。随着转录组研究和新一代测序技术的发展,ncRNAs被证明能够调控包含病毒与宿主相互作用在内的诸多生命活动过程。流感病毒是严重威胁人类健康和畜牧业生产的重要病毒,其与宿主互作机制及互作过程中产生的病毒变异情况十分复杂。近年来研究表明,许多ncRNAs在流感病毒与宿主的相互作用过程中发挥重要作用。揭示这些ncRNAs在流感病毒感染、复制等过程中的功能,对于阐明流感病毒的致病机理具有重要意义,也为防控流感提供参考。因此,本文对在流感病毒感染中发挥重要调控作用的ncRNAs进行综述。

Non-coding RNAs （ncRNAs） are a class of RNAs that have no potential for protein coding. Increasing numbers of studies have provided strong evidence that ncRNAs play important roles in regulation of various biologic processes, including interactions between viruses and the host. Influenza viruses remain a major threat to human health and animal livestock. Interactions between the host and mutations of influenza viruses are very complicated. Recent data have shown that many ncRNAs play important roles in the interactions between influenza viruses and the host. Understanding the function of these ncRNAs in the infection and replication of influenza viruses is very important to elucidate the pathogenesis of these viruses, and to provide strategies for the prevention and control of influenza. This review summarizes the ncRNAs that act as key regulators of interactions between the host and influenza viruses.
