摘要: Identifying the microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate the growth and development of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Rh. sanguineus) is essential for developing effective control strategies against both the tick and tick-borne pathogens. This study reveals the antagonistic regulatory mechanism between miR-71* (the passenger strand of miRNA-71) and Flotillin-1 in the egg development of Rh. sanguineus. Through bioinformatics prediction and validation using a dual-luciferase reporter system, we demonstrate for the first time that miR-71* directly targets and regulates Flotillin-1. Functional experiments indicate that inhibiting miR-71* significantly increases tick egg weight, while suppressing Flotillin-1 reduces egg weight, thereby suggesting that these molecules negatively regulate egg developmental processes. This discovery provides a novel target for elucidating reproductive regulatory pathways in ticks and lays a theoretical foundation for developing control strategies against ticks and tick-borne pathogens.
