MicroRNAseq (miRNAseq) is a form of RNAseq technology that has become an increasingly popular alternative to miRNA expression profiling. Unlike messenger RNA (mRNA), miRNA extraction can be difficult, and sequencing such small RNA can also be problematic. We designed a study to test the reproducibility of miRNAseq technology and the performance of the two popular miRNA isolation methods, mirVana and TRIzol, by sequencing replicated samples using microRNA isolated with each kit. Through careful analysis of our data, we found excellent repeatability of miRNAseq technology. The mirVana method performed better than TRIzol in terms of useful reads sequenced, number of miRNA identified, and reproducibility. Finally, we identified a baseline noise level for miRNAseq technology; this baseline noise level can be used as a filter in future miRNAseq studies.

Profile of miRNAs induced during sheep fat tail development and roles of four key miRNAs in proliferation and differentiation of sheep preadipocytes.
Front Vet Sci
December 2024
College of Coastal Agricultural Sciences, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang, China.
Background: The fat tail of sheep is an adaptive trait that facilitates their adaptation to harsh natural environments. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to play crucial roles in the regulation of tail fat deposition.
Methods: In this study, miRNA-Seq was employed to investigate the expression profiles of miRNAs during different developmental stages of sheep fat tails and elucidate the functions of differentially expressed miRNAs (DE miRNAs).
The PpPep2-Triggered PTI-like Response in Peach Trees Is Mediated by miRNAs.

Plant diseases diminish crop yields and put the world's food supply at risk. Plant elicitor peptides (Peps) are innate danger signals inducing defense responses both naturally and after external application onto plants. Pep-triggered defense networks are compatible with pattern-triggered immunity (PTI).

College of Animal Science and Technology, Gansu Agricultural University, Lanzhou, 730070, China.
Background: Hypoxia negatively affects the behavior, growth, reproduction and survival of fish, causing serious economic losses to aquaculture. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), an important economic fish worldwide, belongs to a hypoxia-sensitive fish species, however, little is known about the regulatory mechanism of microRNAs (miRNAs) under hypoxia stress.
Results: Rainbow trout were subjected to hypoxia stress for 3 h (H3h_L), 12 h (H12h_L), 24 h (H24h_L) and 3 h reoxygenation (R3h_L) to systemically evaluate the changes of miRNA expression profiles in liver, and functions of sha-miR-92a_L + 2R + 4 were investigated.
Mechanism of zju-miR156c-mediated network in regulating witches' broom symptom of Chinese jujube.

Research Center of Chinese Jujube, Hebei Agricultural University, Baoding, Hebei, China.
Article Synopsis
- - Jujube witches' broom, linked to phytoplasma infection, significantly affects Chinese jujube plants, with zju-miR156c identified as a key player in this disease process.
- - The study showed that zju-miR156c is upregulated in infected plants, leading to increased cytokinin levels and downregulation of its target gene ZjSPL3, contributing to the disease symptoms.
- - Additionally, interactions between proteins SJP1 and ZjERF18 were established, suggesting a novel pathogenic pathway involving zjERF18, zju-miR156c, ZjSPL3, and cytokinin in the development of witches' broom.
Blood mir-331-3p is a potential diagnostic marker for giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) testicular tumor.

State Forestry and Grassland Administration Key Laboratory of Conservation Biology for Rare Animals of the Giant Panda State Park, China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, Chengdu, 610081, China.
Background: In recent years, several giant pandas have suffered from testicular tumor, which has seriously affected giant panda health. However, the pathogenesis of testicular tumor in giant panda is still unclear. Studies have shown that miRNAs are involved in the occurrence and development of a variety of cancers.
