Porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD), which is induced by porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), is responsible for severe economic losses. Recently, the role of noncoding RNAs, and in particular microRNAs, in PCV2 infection has received great attention. However, the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in PCV2 infection is unclear. Here, for the first time, we describe the expression profiles of lncRNAs in an intestinal porcine epithelial cell line (IPEC-J2) after PCV2 infection, and analyze the features of differently expressed lncRNAs and their potential target genes. After strict filtering of approximately 150 million reads, we identified 13,520 lncRNAs, including 199 lncRNAs that were differentially expressed in non-infected and PCV2-infected cells. Furthermore, trans analysis found lncRNA-regulated target genes enriched for specific Gene Ontology terms (P < 0.05), such as DNA binding, RNA binding, and transcription factor activity, which are closely associated with PCV2 infection. In addition, we analyzed the predicted target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs, including SOD2, TNFAIP3, and ARG1, all of which are involved in infectious diseases. Our study identifies many candidate lncRNAs involved in PCV2 infection and provides new insight into the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of PCVAD.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) can cause severe disease in infected pigs, resulting in massive economic loss for the swine industry. Transcriptomic and proteomic approaches have been widely employed to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms of the PCV2 infection. Numerous differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs, and proteins, together with their associated signaling pathways, have been identified during PCV2 infection, paving the way for analysis of their biological functions. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of multiple biological processes. However, little is known regarding their role in the PCV2 infection. Hence, in our study, RNA-seq was performed by infecting PK-15 cells with PCV2. Analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) suggested that the cytoskeleton, apoptosis, cell division, and protein phosphorylation were significantly disturbed. Then, using stringent parameters, six lncRNAs were identified. Additionally, potential targets of the lncRNAs were predicted using both cis- and trans-prediction methods. Interestingly, we found that the HOXB (Homeobox B) gene cluster was probably the target of the lncRNA LOC106505099. Enrichment analysis of the target genes showed that numerous developmental processes were altered during PCV2 infection. Therefore, our study revealed that lncRNAs might affect porcine embryonic development through the regulation of the HOXB genes.

KMT2D, as one of the key histone methyltransferases responsible for histone 3 lysine 4 methylation (H3K4me), has been proved to be the main pathogenic gene of Kabuki syndrome disease. Kabuki patients with KMT2D mutation frequently present various dental abnormalities, including abnormal tooth number and crown morphology. However, the exact function of KMT2D in tooth development remains unclear. In this report, we systematically elucidate the expression pattern of KMT2D in early tooth development and outline the molecular mechanism of KMT2D in dental epithelial cell line. KMT2D and H3K4me mainly expressed in enamel organ and Kmt2d knockdown led to the reduction of cell proliferation activity and cell cycling activity in dental epithelial cell line (LS8). RNA-seq and KEGG enrichment analysis screened out several important pathways that affected by Kmt2d knockdown including Wnt signaling. Consistently, Top/Fop assay confirmed the reduction of Wnt signaling activity in Kmt2d knockdown cells. Nuclear translocation of β-catenin was significantly reduced by Kmt2d knockdown, while lithium chloride (LiCl) partially reversed this phenomenon. Moreover, LiCl partially reversed the decrease of cell proliferation activity and G1 arrest, and the downregulation of Wnt-related genes in Kmt2d knockdown cells. In summary, this study uncovered a pivotal role of histone methyltransferase KMT2D in dental epithelium proliferation and cell cycle homeostasis partially through regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. The findings are important for understanding the role of KMT2D and histone methylation in tooth development.
