Abstract: Objective: To reveal the differentially expressed genes and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) by sequencing the transcriptome of bovine alveolar macrophages (BAM) infected with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and analyzing their bioinformations, and to provide theoretical foundation for the research on immune regulation mechanism of anti-infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis of macrophages.Methods: The BAM were collected by pulmonary lavage and centrifugation and cultured and divided into infected group and uninfected group.After infection for 12 h in infected group,the expression profiles of mRNA and lncRNA in infected group and uninfected group were detected by RNA-Seq, and bioinformatics analysis was carried out.Results: compared with uninfected group, there were 119 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 1111 differentially expressed mRNA in infected group (P<0.05). Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis showed that the most significant enrichment was immune response (GO:0006955, P<0.05), including 125 genes, in which 63 were up-regulated and 62 were down-regulated, and the expressions of proinflammatory factors interleukin-1 (IL-6), interleukin-7 (IL-7), and interleukin-23A (IL-23A) were up-regulated. Cis target gene prediction and KEGG pathway analysis showed that the differentially expressed lncRNAs were involved in the regulation of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway and ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC transporter) signaling pathway (P<0.05).Conclusion: The host cells are stimulated to produce a strong immune response after the BAM are infected by BCG and results in the changes of lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles.
