Abstract
The E (XSR) element located in the 3'UTR of the ALV-J genome has the capability to transcribe and generate viral-derived E (XSR) miRNA. However, the biological function and transcriptional regulation mechanism of this process remain unclear. In this study, the impact of E (XSR) miRNA on ALV-J replication and the regulatory effect of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation on its transcription were investigated. The results demonstrated that E (XSR) miRNA could stimulate ALV-J replication and suppress apoptosis in DF-1 cells in vitro. E (XSR) miRNA's promotion of ALV-J replication was not associated with the type I interferon pathway, but achieved by suppressing the expression of the host GPC5 gene. The transcription of E (XSR) miRNA could be promoted by m6A methylation modification, where m6A modification was found at the A6880 and A7016 sites of ALV-J gRNA. This study provides a new perspective on the transcription of ALV-J E (XSR) miRNA and its regulatory function in ALV-J replication.
