miR-24-3p Is Antiviral Against SARS-CoV-2 by Downregulating Critical Host Entry Factors by Parrish Evers, Spencer M. Uguccioni, Nadine Ahmed, Magen E. Francis, Alyson A. Kelvin, John P. Pezacki

“…With increasing popularity and ease of manufacturing of RNA technologies for vaccines and drugs, therapeutic microRNAs represent a promising option. In the present work, miR-24-3p was identified to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 entry, replication, and production; furthermore, this inhibition was retained against common mutations improving SARS-CoV-2 fitness. …”

Quantitative Analysis of MicroRNAs in Vaccinia virus Infection Reveals Diversity in Their Susceptibility to Modification and Suppression. by Amy H Buck, Alasdair Ivens, Katrina Gordon, Nicola Craig, Alexandre Houzelle, Alice Roche, Neil Turnbull, Philippa M Beard

“…We also demonstrate that intermediate and late VACV gene expression are required for optimal repression of some miRNAs including miR-27-3p. Overall this work reveals complex and varied consequences of VACV infection on host miRNAs and identifies miRNAs which are largely resistant to VACV-induced polyadenylation and are therefore present at functional levels during the initial stages of infection and replication.…”
