isc-mir-1: Isc-mir-1 is a microRNA (miRNA) in Ixodes scapularis that was found to be significantly up-regulated in the tick's salivary glands during the early stages of Powassan virus (POWV) infection [PMC6739385]. This up-regulation of isc-mir-1 was observed at a 3-hour feeding time point post-infection, reflecting a potential role in the tick's response to POWV [PMC6739385]. Additionally, isc-mir-1 was among the most abundant miRNAs in POWV-infected salivary gland libraries at this time point, suggesting its importance during early infection [PMC6739385]. Inhibition assays further demonstrated that cells with suppressed isc-mir-1 activity showed significantly higher POWV titers, indicating that isc-mir-1 might be involved in controlling viral replication or influencing virus-tick interactions [PMC6739385]. Contrasting its role during POWV infection, isc-mir-1 was found to be downregulated in Borrelia burgdorferi-infected salivary glands compared to uninfected glands, which could suggest different regulatory roles of this miRNA depending on the pathogen involved [PMC9141961].
