Neospora caninum infection specifically suppresses the expression of a host lncRNA XR_001919077.1 to facilitate parasite propagation by modulating host cell mitochondrial function and autophagy by Shan-Shan Zhao, De-Liang Tao, Jin-Ming Chen, Ming-Yi Zhang, Xin Yang, Jun-Ke Song, Qun Liu, Guang-Hui Zhao

“…In the present study, N. caninum, but not Toxoplasma gondii, which has similar morphological and biological features to N. caninum, specifically suppresses the expression of a host lncRNA, XR_ 001919077.1, to impair host’s defense through the competitive endogenous RNA mechanism to modulate the host cell mitochondrial function and autophagy to facilitate parasite propagation. The findings suggest a novel immune evasion strategy of N. caninum to facilitate intracellular propagation and provide an alternative path to develop control strategies against neosporosis.…”
