Role of Non-coding RNAs in Interactions between Host and Influenza Virus

Area of Science:

• Virology
• Molecular Biology
• Genetics

Background:

• Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are increasingly recognized for their regulatory roles in biological processes.
• Influenza viruses pose significant threats to human and animal health.
• Complex interactions occur between host factors and influenza virus mutations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the role of ncRNAs in host-pathogen interactions, specifically concerning influenza viruses.
• To elucidate the function of ncRNAs in influenza virus infection and replication.
• To identify ncRNAs as potential targets for influenza prevention and control.

Main Methods:

• Literature review of recent studies on ncRNAs and influenza virus.
• Analysis of ncRNA involvement in host-virus interactions.
• Synthesis of current knowledge on ncRNA functions in influenza pathogenesis.

Main Results:

• Numerous ncRNAs have been identified as key regulators in host-influenza virus interactions.
• These ncRNAs influence critical stages of viral infection and replication.
• Understanding these ncRNA functions is vital for deciphering viral pathogenesis.

Conclusions:

• ncRNAs are essential players in the intricate relationship between hosts and influenza viruses.
• Targeting specific ncRNAs may offer novel strategies for combating influenza.
