When just being transparent, 40-100 .Math.l of DEPC water was used for dissolution according to the amount of precipitation. 1 .Math.l was taken and the concentration and OD260/OD280 was measured on Nanodrop. The extracted RNA was stored in a refrigerator at -80° C.

[0108] Experimental results: After overexpression of the target sequence fragment, the expression level of the fragment was up-regulated tens of thousands of times (FIG. 2). Specifically, the ACE2 gene, which is very related to the coronavirus, was activated after overexpression of the SARS-CoV-HIS, SARS-COV-2-HIS-3 and SARS-COV-2-HIS-4 fragments (FIG. 3). The HAS1 (FIG. 4), HAS2 (FIG. 5) and HAS3 (FIG. 6) genes of the hyaluronic acid synthase family related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 were also significantly activated by SARS-CoV-HIS, MERS-CoV-HIS, SARS-COV-2-HIS-3 and SARS-COV-2-HIS-4 fragments. Finally, it can be seen from the detection that the genes within 200 k around the SARS-COV-2-HIS-4 (FIG. 7), SARS-COV-2-HIS-3 (FIG. 8), SARS-COV-2-HIS-1 (FIG. 9) and SARS-COV-2-HIS-5 (FIG. 10) fragments were all significantly activated. The same results were obtained for the fragment SARS-CoV-2-HIS-6, which was not completely complementary (FIG. 11). The specific genes comprised: FBXO15, MYL9, KALRN, ATP8B1, C5AR1, EPAS1, etc. The same results were also obtained for SARS-COV-HIS-2 (FIG. 12) and MERS-COV-HIS-2 (FIG. 13).

[0109] Specifically, the expression of the gene IGF2R around the target fragment of SARS virus was increased, and the expression of the gene IGF2R around the target fragment of MERS virus was increased. In addition, zika virus (FIG. 14), ebola virus (FIG. 15), and HIV-2 (FIG. 16) were also detected in this example, and the results were also the same, specifically: after overexpression of the target fragment of zika virus in 293T cells, the expression of surrounding 16 genes such as CNMD and VPS36 was increased; after overexpression of the target fragment of ebola virus in 293T cells, the expression of surrounding 15 genes such as VGLL4 and TAMM41 was all increased; after overexpression of HIV target fragment in 293T cells, the expression of surrounding genes BMP5, MMP1 and ADCYAP1 was increased; after overexpression of HIV2 target fragment in 293T cells, the expression of surrounding 8 genes such as LAPTM4A and LRRC14B was increased.

[0110] The above results prove that the constructed vector plays a certain function in the expression of miRNA related to SARS-CoV-2, and provides a research basis for subsequent research.

Example 3 - Inhibitory Effect of miRNA Inhibitor (antagomiR) or Antisense Sequence For the Target of the RNA Virus on Activated Target Genes

[0111] This example verifies the inhibitory effect of the inhibitor antagomir for the target of the RNA virus on activated target genes, and comprises the following steps: [0112] step one: preparation of the inhibitor antagomir for the viral target: cholesterol modification and four phosphorothioate backbone modifications were made at the 3′ end of the reverse complementary sequence of the target sequence of the RNA virus, two phosphorothioate backbone modifications were made at the 5′ end, and methoxy modification was made on the whole chain to obtain the corresponding inhibitor antagomir for the target of the virus. [0113] step two: the virus stock solution was prepared by the method of example 2, and the cells were infected with the virus stock solution. The infected cells were divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, wherein the experimental group was: 10 .Math.M of virus-infected cell solution added with corresponding inhibitor for the viral target; the control group was: 10 .Math.M of virus-infected cell solution. After 48 hours, the cell solution of the experimental group and the control group were tested according to the method of real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR in example 4.

[0114] The results of the test were shown in FIGS. 18-21. The inhibitor for the viral target can specifically inhibit the replication of the target sequence, and the antagomir can target the target sequence well, so that the surrounding genes activated by SARS-CoV-HIS-2 (FIG. 17), MERS-CoV -HIS-2 (FIG. 18), SARS-CoV-2-HIS-4 (FIG. 19) and SARS-CoV-2-HIS-3 (FIG. 20) shown a significant tendency to decrease, further verifying the therapeutic value of targets in RNA virus.

[0115] This experiment further verified the inhibitory effect of the reverse complementary sequence of the target sequence of the RNA virus (comprising antisense DNA sequence and antisense RNA sequence), as well as cholesterol modification and four phosphorothioate backbone modifications made at the 3′ end of the target sequence of the RNA virus, two phosphorothioate backbone modifications made at the 5′ end, and methoxy modification made on the whole chain as an inhibitor on the activated target genes was verified. The test results were similar to that of the inhibitor antagomiR. It can be seen that the above-mentioned three inhibitors all had an inhibitory effect on activated target genes. Antisense RNA or antisense DNA of the target sequence of the RNA virus can be used to inhibit RNA virus nucleic acid and block important pathogenic pathways of RNA virus. The different modified or unmodified products of the antisense RNA or antisense DNA provided an important material basis for the treatment of RNA virus diseases. The detailed sequences of the antisense RNA or antisense DNA are shown in Table 2.

Example 4 - The Increase in Hyaluronic Acid Affected by the Target Can Be Reduced by the Hyaluronic Acid Inhibitor 4-MU

[0116] This example verifies that the increase in hyaluronic acid affected by the target can be reduced by the hyaluronic acid inhibitor 4-MU and comprises the following steps:

[0117] the lentivirus and infected cells were prepared by the method of example 2;

[0118] Replacement with the fresh medium was performed, 100 .Math.M of hyaluronic acid inhibitor 4-MU was added in the experimental group, and DMSO (the solvent for 4-MU) was added in the control group. After 24 hours, the cell supernatant was collected and detected with hyaluronic acid ELISA kit (R&D, DY3614-05). The steps are briefly described as follows: [0119] 1) Coating ELISA plate: The plate was coated with 100 .Math.l/well of Capture Reagent overnight. [0120] 2) Sealing: The Capture Reagent was removed by patting the plate. The plate was washed 3 times with 400 .Math.l/wellof Wash buffer and patted to dryness. The plate was sealed with 100 .Math.l/wel/welll of Dilute Reagent for 1 h. [0121] 3) Washing the plate and incubating the sample: The plate was washed with 400 .Math.l/well of Wash buffer 3 times, 100 .Math.l/well of standard and serum to be tested were added (100 .Math.l of the serum from patients with mild and severe COVID-19 was diluted with 200 .Math.l of Dilute Reagent in the kit to a total volume of 300 .Math.l, 3 replicate wells were made), and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. [0122] 4) Washing the plate and incubation with the Detect Reagent. The plate was washed with 400 .Math.l/well of Wash buffer 3 times, 100 .Math.l/well of Detect Reagent was added and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. [0123] 5) Washing the plate and incubation with HRP. The plate was washed with 400 .Math.l/wellof Wash buffer 3 times, 100 .Math.l/well of HRP was added and incubated at room temperature for 20 min. [0124] 6) Washing the plate and incubation with the substrate. The plate was washed with 400 .Math.l/well of Wash buffer 3 times, 100 .Math.l/well of mixed solution of substrates A and B was added and incubated at room temperature for 20 min. [0125] 7) Stopping color development. 50 .Math.l/well of stop solution was added.

[0126] Absorbance was read at 450 nm within 15 min. The test results are shown in Table 4 and Table 5: After overexpression of the target sequence of the virus in cell lines 293T and MRC5, the hyaluronic acid content was significantly increased (Table 4). The hyaluronic acid produced due to overexpression of the target sequence can be reduced using hyaluronic acid inhibitor 4-MU (Table 5). This example proves that the target of the virus has scientific research value and 4-MU has the potential to become a therapeutic drug targeting the target and has a therapeutic value for complications related to the target of the RNA virus.

Example 5 - Detection of Blood Routine Index

[0127] The blood routine index was provided by the hospital, and the hyaluronic acid in the blood was detected using the hyaluronic acid ELISA kit (R&D, DY3614-05). Specifically, the HA content in the serum of a patient with severe COVID-19 was significantly increased compared with that in a patient with mild COVID-19 (Table 6). In addition, the number of lymphocytes in a patient with severe COVID-19 was significantly lower than that in a patient with mild COVID-19, suggesting that the number of the immune cells in a patient was decreased with the disease progressing to severe; furthermore, D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product, and the increase of D-dimer level indicates the existence of hypercoagulable state and secondary hyperfibrinolysis in the body. Therefore, the mass concentration of D-dimer has diagnostic significance for thrombotic diseases. The content of D-dimer in the serum of a patient with severe COVID-19 was significantly higher than that in a patient with mild COVID-19, indicating that the risk of coagulation in a patient was increased with the condition of COVID-19 progressing to severe, and also indicating that there was a certain feasibility of subsequent anticoagulation therapy.

TABLE-US-00010 Hematological indicators of a patient with mild or severe COVID-19 HA (ng/ml) LYMPH# (10^9/L) CRP (mg/L) D-D (ug/ml) Mild (n=37) 3.77±2.86 1.79±0.50 0.77±0.68 0.28±0.12 Severe (n=22) 35.41±28.88∗∗∗ 1.40±0.43∗∗ 8.49±9.66∗∗∗ 0.49±0.36∗

[0128] The above results provide a basis for the changes in hematological indicators caused by the target sequences of the RNA virus to become clinical diagnosis, and reflects the clinical diagnostic value of the targets of the RNA virus. Moreover, the targets have the potential to become a vaccine. In addition, in the process of preparing vaccines, common attenuated live vaccines still have certain risks that need to be further optimized. The pathogenic risk of a vaccine will be greatly reduced by knockout of the targets.
