| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The siRNAs and miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that mediate mRNA cleavage, degradation, and/or translational repression by a mechanism known as RNA silencing. RNA viruses infected into human cells are recognized by virus sensor proteins to activate interferon expression as an antiviral defense system. Here, we revealed that RNA silencing and antiviral defense system are mutually regulated by their components.
