Abstract: In order to predict the target gene of mmu-miR-671-5p mediated by Brucella,the differentially expressed mmu-miRNA-671-5p target genes were predicted by miRanda and TargetScan softwares after RAW264.7 cells were infected by Brucella.The predicted target genes were 11 953 and 9 252,respectively.The predicted results of the two softwares were intersected and analyzed by Venn which showed 3 681 overlapping target genes.The functional enrichment were analyzed by GO and KEGG,and then PicTar software was used to further predict the target gene of mmu-miRNA-671-5p.The predicted results were further intersected with the results of Venn which showed that there were 7 target genes was the finally predicted results of mmu-miRNA-671-5p.The relative expression of 7 predictive target genes was verified by Real-time quantitative PCR.The results showed that the relative expression of Tnfrsf1b and Tnip1 genes were extremely significantly decreased (P<0.01).And then the mmu-miRNA-671-5p inhibitors were transfected into RAW264.7 cells and the 7 predictive targets were verified.The results showed that the relative expression of Tnfrsf1b and Tnip1 genes was extremely significantly increased (P<0.01),and the target sites of mmu-miRNA-671-5p and the 3'UTR of Tnfrsf1b and Tnip1 were predicted respectively.The results preliminarily showed that the target genes of mmu-miRNA-671-5p were Tnfrsf1b and Tnip1.Both of them had only one predictive binding site,located at 91 and 305 bp of the full-length positions of 3'UTR of Tnfrsf1b and Tnip1,respectively.This study provided a scientific basis for further revealing the function of mmu-miRNA-671-5p in Brucella infected RAW264.7 cells.
