| Abstract |
The adenovirus (Ad) serotype 5 genome encodes two noncoding small RNAs (virus-associated RNAs I and II [VA-RNAI and -II]), which are approximately 160-nucleotide (nt) RNAs transcribed by RNA polymerase III. It is well known that VA-RNAI supports Ad infection via the inhibition of double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR), which recognizes double-stranded RNA and acts as an antiviral system. Recent studies revealed that VA-RNAs are processed into VA-RNA-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) (mivaRNAI and -II); however, we and another group recently demonstrated that mivaRNAI does not promote Ad replication. On the other hand, the roles of VA-RNAII and mivaRNAII in Ad replication have remained to be clarified. In this study, we demonstrated mivaRNAII-mediated promotion of Ad replication. Transfection with chemically synthesized 3'-mivaRNAII-138, one of the most abundant forms of mivaRNAII, significantly enhanced Ad replication, while the other species of mivaRNAII did not. We identified 8 putative target genes of 3'-mivaRNAII-138 by microarray analysis and in silico analysis. Among the 8 candidates, knockdown of the cullin 4A (CUL4A) gene, which encodes a component of the ubiquitin ligase complex, most significantly enhanced Ad replication. CUL4A expression was significantly suppressed by 3'-mivaRNAII-138 via posttranscriptional gene silencing, indicating that CUL4A is a target gene of 3'-mivaRNAII-138 and mivaRNAII functions as a viral miRNA promoting Ad infection. It has been reported that CUL4A is involved in degradation of c-Jun, which acts as a transcription factor in the Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling cascade. Treatment with JNK inhibitors dramatically suppressed Ad replication, suggesting that mivaRNAII-mediated downregulation of CUL4A enhanced JNK signaling and thereby promoted Ad infection.IMPORTANCE Several types of viruses encode viral miRNAs which regulate host and/or viral gene expression via posttranscriptional gene silencing, leading to efficient viral infection. Adenovirus (Ad) expresses miRNAs derived from VA-RNAs (mivaRNAI and -II); however, recent studies have revealed that processing of VA-RNAI into mivaRNAI inhibits Ad replication. Conversely, we demonstrate here that mivaRNAII significantly promotes Ad replication and that mivaRNAII-mediated suppression of CUL4A expression via posttranscriptional gene silencing induces accumulation of c-Jun, leading to promotion of Ad infection. These results exhibited the significance of VA-RNAII for supporting Ad infection through a mechanism complementary to that of VA-RNAI. These observations could provide important clues toward a new perspective on host-virus interaction. Moreover, Ad is widely used as a basic framework for viral vectors and oncolytic viruses. Our findings will help to regulate Ad infection and will promote the development of novel Ad vectors and oncolytic Ad. |
