Abstract

MicroRNAs are short, non-coding RNAs that have been shown to regulate a wide range of biological processes, including host antiviral immune responses. In the present study, microRNA-92a (miR-92a) was identified as a negative regulator in macrophage-mediated antiviral responses. Overexpression of miR-92a decreases vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-induced production of type-I IFNs and facilitates viral replication in macrophages. The mechanism is that miR-92a directly targets RIG-I and reduces its expression, thereby attenuating VSV-triggered activation of TBK-binding kinase 1 and IRF3, both of which are crucial for initiating transcription of type-I IFN genes. Our results demonstrate for the first time the novel role of miR-92a in suppressing antiviral innate immunity.
