MiR-155 is an immune microRNA encoded within the BIC gene. Dozens of researches have uncovered the importance of high expression of miR-155 in promoting the development of immune organs and strengthening immune response and inflammatory response. Some natural mutations located in the miR-155/BIC region were revealed to disturb the expression level of miR-155 in several mammalian species, and our previous study also identified several mutations occurring near the miR-155/BIC region in pigs. However, the consequences of BIC locus-harbored mutations in pig genome remain unclear. In this study, we used Chinese Meishan and British Large White pigs to identify mutations within the miR-155/BIC region, and explore whether there are effects on expressions of miR-155 and its target genes. Target sequencing identified six potential FOXP3 protein binding sites (AAACA) in the BIC gene, among which there were two A/C mutations (AAACC) at the -108bp and -305bp upstream of the miR-155 precursors in Meishan pigs, but not in Large White pigs. A series of experiments confirmed that the FOXP3 protein mainly binds to the -305bp position, and the binding efficiency of the CC haplotype to FOXP3 protein was higher than that of the wild type, resulting in increased expression of miR-155, and consequentially decreased the expressions of its target genes. Our newly identified mutations are functional, which explain partial reasons for the difference in immunity between Meishan and Large White pigs, and provide potential molecular markers to genetically improve the disease resistance in the pig breeding practice.
