Abstract: Forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) is a medicinal economic species and the musk secreted by the male musk deer is an important component of Chinese patent medicine and perfume, which has high medicinal and economic value. miRNAs play an important role in animal cell development, differentiation, apoptosis, and disease development, which are selectively expressed in different tissues. The heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and muscle tissues of forest musk deer were high-throughput sequenced by using RNA-seq technology on the Hi-seq 2500 sequencing platform. The microRNA expression of these 6 tissues was analyzed by using biostatistics and bioinformatics methods and RT-qPCR was used to verify the sequencing results. The results showed that 1 650 miRNAs co-expressed in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and muscle tissues of forest musk deer, of which there were 86, 54, 44, 68, 83, and 50 specific miRNAs, respectively (P < 0.01). The expression levels of co-expressed miRNAs were significantly different in these six types of tissues (P < 0.05) and the expression levels of some specific miRNAs in the heart were much higher than that in other tissues. KEGG analysis showed that the target genes of specific miRNAs in the liver of forest musk deer were closely related to the Wnt signaling pathway (ko04310), cAMP signaling pathway (ko04024), ECM-receptor interaction (ko04512), Notch signaling pathway (ko04330), and AMPK signaling pathway (ko04152) (P < 0.01). Nine miRNAs were randomly selected for verification with RT-qPCR in liver tissue of health and abscess forest musk deer and the results were consistent with the sequencing results.

摘要: 林麝(Moschus berezovskii)是药用经济动物,其雄麝分泌的麝香是中成药和香水的重要成分,具有极高的药用价值和经济价值。miRNAs在动物细胞发育、分化、凋亡及疾病发生发展过程中起着至关重要的作用,并且在不同组织中miRNAs选择性表达。本研究利用RNA-seq技术在Hi-seq 2500测序平台对林麝的心脏、肝脏、脾脏、肺脏、肾脏和肌肉组织进行高通量测序,运用生物统计学和生物信息学方法分析这6种器官和组织中miRNAs的表达情况,采用RT-qPCR对测序结果进行验证。结果表明,林麝的心脏、肝脏、脾脏、肺脏、肾脏和肌肉组织中共表达的miRNAs有1 650个,特异表达的miRNAs分别有86个、54个、44个、68个、83个和50个(P < 0.01),共表达的miRNAs在不同器官和组织中表达水平存在显著差异(P < 0.05),林麝心脏中部分特异miRNAs的表达水平远远高于其他5种器官和组织中特异miRNAs的表达水平。KEGG分析表明:林麝肝脏特异表达miR-NA靶基因主要涉及Wnt信号通路(ko04310)、cAMP信号通路(ko04024)、ECM受体相互作用(ko04512)、Notch信号途径(ko04330)、AMPK信号通路(ko04152)等(P < 0.01)。随机选择9个miRNAs,利用RT-qPCR验证其在健康和化脓性林麝肝脏中的表达情况,结果表明其中9个miRNAs的表达趋势与测序结果一致。
