Bta-miR-2890 up-regulates JAK-STAT pathway to inhibit BoHV-1 replication by targeting viral gene UL41

MicroRNAs have emerged as important and versatile modulators of immune responses and participate actively in the regulation of host-pathogen interactions. However, the role of miR-2890 in the host response against viral infection is unclear. In this study, we show that bta-miR-2890 facilitates the production of type I interferon (IFN) and IFN-stimulated genes, and inhibits bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) replication. Further research showed...
