Identification of LincRNA from Dermatophagoides farinae (Acari: Pyroglyphidae) for Potential Allergen-Related Targets.


ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), especially their important subclass of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs), have been identified in some insects. They play important roles in the regulation of biological processes, such as immune response or cell differentiation and as possible evolutionary precursors for protein coding genes. House dust mites (HDMs) are recognized as allergenic mites because allergens are found in their feces and bodies. Dermatophagoides farinae is one of the most important pyroglyphid mites because of its abundance in the household. To determine if lincRNAs can regulate allergen presentation in HDMs, we analyzed RNA-seq data for HDMs. We identified 11 lincRNAs that are related to mRNAs coding for allergens in HDMs. Using qRT-PCR, we amplified 10 lincRNAs and their putative target allergen-encoding mRNAs, confirming expression of these lincRNAs and allergen genes. The results suggest that lincRNAs might be involved in the regulation of allergen production in HDMs and might represent potential acaricidal candidates to inhibit mite allergen production.
