    Abstract:
    Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a cold-water fish that is commonly harmed by high temperatures. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are being investigated intensively because they act as essential metabolic regulators and have a role in the heat stress response. Although there have been numerous studies on rainbow trout heat stress, research on miRNA implicated in rainbow trout heat stress is quite restricted. Rainbow trout were sampled at 18 and 24 °C, respectively, to examine the mechanism of miRNA under heat stress, and we identified a heat stress-induced miRNA, ssa-miR-301a-3p, for further investigation based on our bioinformatics analysis of rainbow trout small RNA sequencing data. Bioinformatics research suggested that hsp90b2 is a probable target gene for ssa-miR-301a-3p. QRT-PCR was used to confirm the expression levels of ssa-miR-301a-3p and hsp90b2. Meanwhile, the dual-luciferase reporter assay was employed to validate the ssa-miR-301a-3p-hsp90b2 targeted connection. The results indicated that at 24 °C, the relative expression of ssa-miR-301a-3p was considerably lower than at 18 °C. On the other hand, hsp90b2 expression, followed the opposite pattern. The binding of ssa-miR-301a-3p to the 3'-UTR of hsp90b2 resulted in a substantial decrease in luciferase activity. The findings showed that ssa-miR-301a-3p was implicated in heat stress, and our findings provide fresh insights into the processes of miRNA in response to heat stress in rainbow trout.
