The Identification and Characteristics of Immune-Related MicroRNAs in Haemocytes of Oyster Crassostrea gigas

Abstract

These results indicated collectively that immune challenge could induce the expression of immune-related miRNAs, which might modulate the immune response such as redox reaction, phagocytosis and apoptosis, and the expression of some immune-related miRNAs could be also regulated by heat stress to improve the environmental adaption of oyster.
