Cellular microRNAs and picornaviral infections exhibit intricate interactions, where viral replication is regulated by miRNAs and infections alter cellular miRNA expression.
This review highlights the bidirectional regulatory interactions between cellular microRNAs and picornavirus replication.
May guide miRNA-targeted antiviral research; leaves open clinical validation in picornaviral disease.
microRNAs (miRNAs) are a subtype of short, endogenous, and non-coding RNAs, which post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. The miRNA-mediated gene silencing mechanism is involved in a wide spectrum of biological processes, such as cellular proliferation, differentiation, and immune responses. Picornaviridae is a large family of RNA viruses, which includes a number of causative agents of many human and animal diseases viz., poliovirus, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Accumulated evidences have demonstrated that replication of picornaviruses can be regulated by miRNAs and picornaviral infections can alter the expression of cellular miRNAs. Herein, we outline the intricate interactions between miRNAs and picornaviral infections.
