Abstract
Introduction. Rubella virus is an RNA-containing virus capable of infecting human cells and causing infectious disease. Infection of pregnant women with rubella virus can lead to abortion or congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), a set of long-term birth defects including incomplete fetal organ development and mental retardation. There is no specific treatment for rubella and CRS. The regulation of antiviral immune response and viral reproduction by long non-coding RNAs is currently under active investigation. In this study, we evaluated the changes in the expression profile of long non-coding RNAs in rubella virus-infected A549 epithelial by RNA sequencing. Materials and Methods. A549 cells were infected with a wild-type variant of laboratory strain C-77 of rubella virus with a multiplicity of infection of 1.0 infectious units per cell and incubated for 72 hours. Virus titres were determined by the CCID method in the sensitive RK-13 cell culture. 48 h after infection, the cell monolayer was lysed, RNA was isolated, and libraries were prepared for sequencing. Sequencing was performed on the NextSeq500 platform (Illumina, USA) in paired-end reading mode. Validation of the obtained RNA sequencing data was performed using quantitative real-time PCR. Results. Rubella virus replication affects the production of some long non-coding RNAs by altering their expression profile. Thus, upon infection of A549 epithelial cells with rubella virus, there was a significant increase in the expression of such long non-coding RNAs as GAS5, NEAT1, LUCAT1, MIR210HG, MEG3, EPB41L4A-AS1, ZFAS1, and SNHG 1, 7, 12, 29, 32. DANCR, IGFL2-AS1, IGFL2-AS1, MIR1915HG, and SNHG14 were most significantly decreased in expression. Gene ontology (GO)-analysis revealed that long non-coding RNAs are involved at different levels in the mechanisms of immune response, in particular, RNA processing and nucleic acid metabolism; therefore, up- and down-regulation of these molecules leads to modulation of human antiviral immune response in response to rubella virus infection. Conclusion. Thus, the regulation of long non-coding RNA production by rubella virus has been shown for the first time. Differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs can be used as prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers of viral diseases.
