The role of mirna-146b-tbc1d14 in the autophagy of RAW264.7 cells mediated by b. melitensis m5-90 [miRNA]

ABSTRACT: We used B. melitensis M5-90 wild type to construct gene-deleted strains of B. melitensis ∆per, RAW264.7 cells infected with B. melitensis M5-90 and B. melitensis M5-90 ∆per for 4h, respectively. miRNA microarray and mRNA array experiments were performed, qRT-PCR validation for miRNAs and mRNAs. We performed a joint analysis of differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs, and proved that the target gene of miRNA-146b is Tbc1d14. It further confirmed that miR-146b targeting tbc1d14 regulates brucella-mediated autophagy of RAW264.7 cells. Finally, the molecular mechanism of tbc1d14 influencing brucella-mediated autophagy of RAW264.7 cells was preliminarily revealed by DGE sequencing.

Project description:Brucella spp. are gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogens that cause brucellosis in humans and animals. Iron is an essential element required for all organisms. Iron response regulator (Irr) is a crucial transcriptional regulator and can affect the growth and iron uptake of Brucella. The growth rate of Brucella melitensis M5-90 irr mutant was significantly lower than that of B. melitensis M5-90 under normal or iron-sufficient conditions, however, the growth rate of the B. melitensis M5-90 irr mutant was significantly higher than that of B. melitensis M5-90 under iron-limited conditions. In addition, irr mutation significantly reduced iron uptake under iron-limited conditions. Currently, bhuA (a heme transporter), bhuQ (heme utilization oxygenase Q), and RirA (iron-responsive regulator) have been identified as iron metabolism genes and are regulated by the Irr protein. These results suggest that the Irr protein has multiple target genes in the Brucella genome that are involved in iron metabolism. Therefore, a combination of RNA-seq and Dap-seq was used to investigate the other iron metabolism genes that are also regulated by the Irr protein in Brucella. A total of seven genes were identified as target genes for Irr in this study and the expression levels of these seven genes were similar in both the RNA-seq and qRT-PCR results. Furthermore, the DNA bases C and G and amino acids asparagine, arginine, histidine, and serine were predicted as predominant docking sites for DNA and Irr using the HDOCK server. The electrophoretic mobility shift assay confirmed that six out of the seven genes, namely rirA (BME_RS13665), membrane protein (BME_RS01725), hypothetical protein (BME_RS09560), Iron transporter (BME_RS14525), cation-transporting P-type ATPase (BME_RS10660), and 2Fe-2S binding protein (BME_RS13655), interact with the Irr protein. In summary, our results identified six genes regulated by the Irr protein that may participate in iron metabolism. In addition, from the RNA-seq results, the mutation of irr resulted in the down/upregulation of many genes that are associated with the bacterial secretion system, lipopolysaccharides, and flagellar assembly, and these three components are the main virulence factors for Brucella. Collectively, these results provide valuable insights for the exploration of Brucella iron metabolism and its effects on virulence.
