There is growing interest in the whole saliva as a diagnostic fluid because of the relatively simple and non-invasive collection.Research on salivary proteomic and genomic has greatly facilitated the diagnosis and therapy of oral diseases,also revealed the molecular mechanism of the diseases.Saliva-derived exosome as a new source,with various molecular constituents of their cells of origin,including proteins,mRNA and miRNA might serve as potential biomarker.This article reviews the biological properties of saliva exosome,its separation and other aspects associated with disease.

Objective:To investigate the role and regulatory mechanism of miR-125b-1-3p in rotavirus replication.Methods:MA104 cells were infected with rotavirus after upregulation and down-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p, respectively. The expression of miR-125b-1-3p and the copy number of rotavirus were analyzed by RT-PCR. The effect of miR-125b-1-3p on the protein expression of rotavirus was analyzed by immunofluorescence. The expression of related proteins involved in the regulation of miR-125b-1-3p was analyzed by Western blot analysis.Results:After rotavirus infection, the expression level of miR-125b-1-3p was significantly up-regulated, the copy number of VP7 and NSP3 gene of rotavirus decreased after up-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p, and the copy number of VP7 and NSP3 gene of rotavirus was significantly increased after down-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p.The fluorescence number of rotavirus protein decreased after upregulation of miR-125b-1-3p expression level, and increased after down-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p expression level. The activity of PI3K/Akt pathway was inhibited 16 h after rotavirus infection, and the up-regulation of miR-125b-1-3p could inhibit the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway.Conclusions:MiR-125b-1-3p inhibits rotavirus replication by regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway. These results provide an experimental basis for exploring the specific regulatory mechanism between miR-125b-1-3p and PI3K/Akt pathway, and provide a target for anti-infection therapy of rotavirus.
