BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is a prevalent infectious disease caused by the parasitic trematodes of the genus Schistosoma. Praziquantel (PZQ), a safe and affordable drug, is the recommended oral treatment for schistosomiasis. The main pathologic manifestation of schistosomiasis is liver injury. However, the role and interactions of various RNA molecules in the effect of PZQ on the liver after S. japonicum infection have not been elucidated.
RESULTS: In this study, C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group, infection group, and PZQ treatment group. Total RNA was extracted from the livers of the mice. High-throughput whole transcriptome sequencing was performed to detect the RNA expression profiles in the three groups. A co-expression gene-interaction network was established based on the significant differentially expressed genes in the PZQ treatment group; messenger RNA (mRNA) Cyp4a14 was identified as a critical hub gene. Furthermore, competitive endogenous RNA networks were constructed by predicting the specific binding relations between mRNA and long noncoding (lnc) RNA and between lncRNA and microRNA (miRNA) of Cyp4a14, suggesting the involvement of the H19/miR-130b-3p/Cyp4a14 regulatory axis. Dual luciferase reporter assay result proved the specific binding of miR-130b-3p with Cyp4a14 3'UTR.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate the involvement of the H19/miR-130b-3p/Cyp4a14 axis in the effect of PZQ on the liver after S. japonicum infection. Moreover, the expression of mRNA Cyp4a14 could be regulated by the bonding of miR-130b-3p with 3'UTR of Cyp4a14. The findings of this study could provide a novel perspective to understand the host response to PZQ against S. japonicum in the future.
