Regulation of Skeletal Muscle by microRNAs

Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs highly conserved across species. miRNAs regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally by base pairing to complementary sequences mainly in the 3'-untranslated region of their target mRNAs to induce mRNA cleavage and translational repression. Thousands of miRNAs have been identified in human and their function has been linked to the regulation of both physiological and pathological processes. The skeletal muscle is the largest human organ responsible for l… Show more

“…A study on translational repression without RNA destabilization has also been reported (38). In muscle atrophy, the expression levels of miR-30 family were reduced (39), which is consistent with our present study.…”

“…Subsets of miRNAs can be described as striated muscle‐specific (miR‐1, miR‐133a, miR‐133b, miR‐206, miR‐208a, miR‐208b, and miR‐499) or muscle‐enriched (miR‐486). They are involved in myoblast proliferation/differentiation, muscle regeneration, or fibre‐type specification (for review, refer to Diniz and Wang). The tissue specificity of myomiRs is due either to the genomic location of their coding DNA within introns of myosin heavy chain genes or to transcriptional control by muscle‐specific transcription factors such as MyoD, Mef2, or Srf .…”

“…MiRNAs are non-coding RNAs, 19-22 nucleotides long, which act as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. The role of miRNAs in the regulation of key biological processes in skeletal muscle is well-established (9) and they serve as diagnostic, prognostic biomarkers, and as molecular outcome measures in various biomedical fields (10,11). Previously, our group used gene network analysis to identify two miRNAs, miR-30c, and miR-181a and validated them as reliable serum diagnostic biomarkers for DMD (12).…”
