The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) signaling pathway is essential for inducing type I interferon (IFN) responses to viral infections. Meanwhile, it is also tightly regulated to prevent uncontrolled immune responses. Numerous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are essential for the regulation of immune processes, however, the detailed molecular mechanism of miRNA regulating the RLRs signaling pathway remains to be elucidated. Here, our results showed that miR-202-5p was induced by red spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) infection in zebrafish. Overexpression of miR-202-5p led to reduced expression of IFN 1 and its downstream antiviral genes, thus facilitating viral replication in vitro. In comparison, significantly enhanced levels of IFN 1 and antiviral genes and significantly low viral burden were observed in the miR-202-5p-/- zebrafish compared to wild type zebrafish. Subsequently, zebrafish tripartite motif-containing protein 25 (zbTRIM25) was identified as a target of miR-202-5p in both zebrafish and humans. Ectopic expression of miR-202-5p suppressed zbTRIM25-mediated RLRs signaling pathway. Furthermore, we showed that miR-202-5p inhibited zbTRIM25-mediated zbRIG-I ubiquitination and activation of IFN production. In conclusion, we demonstrate that RGNNV-inducible miR-202-5p acts as a negative regulator of zbRIG-I-triggered antiviral innate response by targeting zbTRIM25. Our study reveals a novel mechanism for the evasion of the innate immune response controlled by RGNNV.
