Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the effect of bovine leukemia virus encoded microRNAs(BLV-miRNAs)on lactoperoxidase(LPO)in bovine mammary epithelial cells(BMECs).Firstly,the LPO content in the milk of BLV-positive cows,categorized by different viral loads,was quanti-fied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Subsequently,BMECs were cultured in vitro and infected with(1 MOI)full-length BLV and BLV lacking miRNAs(BLV-ΔmiRNAs).Va-rious analytical techniques,including fluorescent quantitative PCR and ELISA,were used to assess LPO expression levels in different BMEC cohorts.Ten BLV-miRNAs were computationally predic-ted to target LPO using software tools such as StarMir.Based on these predictions,transfections of BLV-miRNAs were carried out and preliminary verification of their effects on target genes were performed.The results showed that compared to that of BLV-negative counterparts,the LPO levels in the milk of BLV-positive cows,stratified by high and low viral load,decreased by 8.73%and 9.68%,respectively.Invitro experiments further corroborated these trends,revealing a significant increase(P<0.05)in LPO expression within BMECs following the deletion of BLV-miRNAs compared to the group infected with full-length BLV-infected group.Computational target site pre-dictions implicated BLV-miR-B1-5p,B3-3p,and B4-5p in the collective regulation of the LPO gene.Transfection of BLV-miR-B1-5p into BMECs resulted in a significant downregulation of LPO gene expression(P<0.05),with the effect intensifying proportionally with the transfection dose.Simi-larly,the transfection of BLV-miR-B4-3p into BMECs significantly reduced LPO gene expression(P<0.05)without showing a dose-dependent behavior.In conclusion,this research indicates that BLV-miRNAs can suppress LPO expression in BMECs.
