However, a comprehensive map encompassing mRNA, miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA is still lacking. This absence complicates the systematic explanation of the molecular mechanisms driving immune escape and metabolic reprogramming during the persistent infection stage. (2) Methods: In this study, we established a mouse model of chronic HBV infection and analyzed the differential expression of mRNA, miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA through whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS). We constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network to systematically evaluate the overall impact of HBV on the host\u2019s immune-metabolic pathways. (3) Results: RNA sequencing results indicated that HBV infection significantly up-regulated 194 mRNAs, 18 miRNAs, 184 lncRNAs, and 28 circRNAs, while down-regulating 42, 16, 122, and 31 corresponding transcripts, respectively. The differentially expressed genes were primarily enriched in pathways related to metabolism, immunity\/inflammation, and signal transduction-ligand receptor interactions. Furthermore, the competitive endogenous RNA networks of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA and circRNA-miRNA-mRNA constructed on this basis further identified miR-185-3p as a key core node. (4) Conclusions: In this study, based on whole transcriptome data, the gene expression profiles of rcccDNA\/Ad-infected Alb-Cre transgenic mice (chronic HBV infection model) and normal Alb-Cre mice were systematically compared, and the core regulatory factor miR-185-3p of key differentially expressed genes was screened. The microRNA is expected to provide a new target for the precise treatment of chronic hepatitis B by targeted intervention of viral replication and high liver inflammation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom15121678","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,2]],"date-time":"2025-12-02T08:49:22Z","timestamp":1764665362000},"page":"1678","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Molecular Network Analysis of HBV Persistent Infection from the Perspective of Whole Transcriptome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Qiuping","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medical Sciences, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"},{"name":"School of Clinical Medicine, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Congying","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medical Sciences, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haiyang","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medical Sciences, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yichen","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Clinical Medicine, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jibin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medical Sciences, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peijie","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medical Sciences, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Quansheng","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medical Sciences, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"},{"name":"School of Clinical Medicine, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuming","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Protection for Unearthed Medical Literature and Cultural Relics, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"},{"name":"School of Computer Science, Sichuan University (School of Software, School of Intelligent Science and Technology), Chengdu 610207, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baixue","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medical Sciences, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu 611137, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"eadw2286","DOI":"10.1126\/sciadv.adw2286","article-title":"A scalable ultra-long-acting tenofovir phosphonate prodrug sustains hbv suppression","volume":"11","author":"Raut","year":"2025","journal-title":"Sci.
