| 2 | The functional analysis of transiently upregulated miR-101 suggests a “braking” regulatory mechanism during myogenesis显示文摘Skeletal muscle differentiation is a highly coordinated process that involves many cellular signaling pathways and microRNAs(miRNAs).A group of muscle-specific miRNAs has been reported to promote myogenesis by suppressing key signaling pathways for cell growth.However,the functional role and regulatory mechanism of most non-muscle-specific miRNAs with stage-specific changes during differentiation are largely unclear.Here,we describe the functional characterization of miR-101a/b,a pair of non-muscle-specific miRNAs that show the largest change among a group of transiently upregulated miRNAs during myogenesis in C2C12 cells.The overexpression of miR-101a/b inhibits myoblast differentiation by suppressing the p38/MAPK,Interferon Gamma,and Wnt pathways and enhancing the C/EBP pathway.Mef2a,a key protein in the p38/MAPK pathway,was identified as a direct target of miR-101a/b.Interestingly,we found that the long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)Malat1,which promotes muscle differentiation,interacts with miR-101a/b,and this interaction competes with Mef2a mRNA to relieve the inhibition of the p38/MAPK pathway during myogenesis.These results uncovered a“braking”role in differentiation of transiently upregulated miRNAs and provided new insights into the competing endogenous RNA(ceRNA)regulatory mechanism in myoblast differentiation and myogenesis. | Shurong Liu Shujuan Xie Huafeng Chen Bin Li Zhirong Chen Yeya Tan Jianhua Yang Lingling Zheng Zhendong Xiao Qi Zhang Lianghu Qu | 2021 | Science China(Life Sciences)2021，64，10： | 1 |
