Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs encoded by eukaryotic genomes that exhibit tissue-specific and temporal expression patterns. They play multifaceted roles in regulating gene expression across various tissues and developmental stages through several regulatory pathways. miR-144 has been implicated in cellular development in multiple species. However, its specific role in bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells (BSMSCs) remains unclear. The study aimed to elucidate the function of miR-144 in BSMSC development. The findings indicate that miR-144 inhibits BSMSC proliferation while promoting its differentiation. miR-144 overexpression led to the identification of 476 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), which were primarily involved in adrenergic, MAPK, and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. Dual luciferase reporter assays confirmed that NACC1 is a target of bta-miR-144. Further analysis revealed that NACC1 promotes BSMSC proliferation and suppresses its differentiation. Collectively, these results suggest that miR-144 modulates BSMSC development by negatively regulating the NACC1 gene.
期刊介绍:
Genomics is a forum for describing the development of genome-scale technologies and their application to all areas of biological investigation.
As a journal that has evolved with the field that carries its name, Genomics focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge methods, addressing fundamental questions with potential interest to a wide audience. Our aim is to publish the highest quality research and to provide authors with rapid, fair and accurate review and publication of manuscripts falling within our scope.
