Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) has become the first malignant tumor with highest incidence rate and mortality of cancer in China, finding therapeutic targets for gastric cancer is of great significant for improving the survival rate of patients with GC. Recently, many of studies have shown that LncRNAs is involved in multiple biological progresses in the development of GC. This study, we screened for abnormally high expression of LncSHANK3 in GC through the TCGA database, and found that LncSHANK3 sponge adsorbs miR-4530, further competing with MNX1 and binding to miR-4530. We demonstrated the interaction between LncSHANK3 and miR-4530 through luciferase reporting analysis, with miR-4530 negatively regulating MNX1.Through CCK8, colony formation, transwell, and wound healing assays, it was found that LncSHANK3 affects the occurrence of GC through cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In conclusion, LncSHANK3/miR-4530/MNX1 axis is a potential mechanism for the treatment of GC.

Abstract
Muscle aging contributed to morbidity and mortality in the elderly adults by leading to severe outcomes such as frailty, falls and fractures. Post-transcriptional regulation especially competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism may modulate the process of skeletal muscle aging. RNA-seq was performed in quadriceps of 6-month-old (adult) and 22-month-old (aged) male mice to identify differentially expressed ncRNAs and mRNAs and further construct ceRNA networks. Decreased quadriceps-body weight ratio and muscle fiber cross-sectional area as well as histological characteristics of aging were observed in the aged mice. Besides, there were higher expressions of atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 and lower expression of Myog, Myf4 and Myod1 in the quadriceps of aged mice relative to that of adult mice. The expression of 85 lncRNAs, 52 circRNAs, 10 miRNAs and 277 mRNAs were significantly dysregulated in quadriceps between the two groups, among which two ceRNA networks lncRNA 2700081O15Rik/circRNA_0000820-miR-673-3p-Tmem120b were constructed. Level of triglycerides and expression of PPARγ, C/EBPα, FASN and leptin were elevated and the expression of adiponectin was reduced in quadriceps of aged mice compared with that of adult mice. LncRNA 2700081O15Rik/circRNA_0000820-miR-673-3p-Tmem120b were possibly associated with the adipogenesis and fat accumulation in skeletal muscle of age male mice.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2024. [PMID: 38982896 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletal muscle injury is one of the most common sports injuries; if not properly treated or not effective rehabilitation treatment after injury, it can be transformed into chronic cumulative injury. Curcumin, an herbal ingredient, has been found to promote skeletal muscle injury repair and regeneration. The Wnt5a pathway is related to the expression of myogenic regulatory factors, and Ca2+ promotes the differentiation and fusion process of myoblasts. This study explored the effect and mechanism of curcumin on myoblast differentiation during the repair and regeneration of injured skeletal muscle and its relationship with the Wnt5a pathway and Ca2+ channel. METHODS Myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells was induced with 2% horse serum, and a mouse (male, 10 weeks old) model of acute skeletal muscle injury was established using cardiotoxin (20 μL). In addition, we constructed a Wnt5a knockdown C2C12 cell model and a Wnt5a knockout mouse model. Besides, curcumin was added to the cell culture solution (80 mg/L) and fed to the mice (50 mg/kg). Fluorescence microscopy was used to determine the concentration of Ca2+. Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA levels of Wnt5a, CaN, NFAT2, MyoD, Myf5, Pax7, and Myogenin. The expression levels of MyoD, Myf5, Myogenin, MHC, Desmin, and NFAT2 were detected using immunofluorescence techniques. In addition, MyoD expression was observed using immunohistochemistry, and morphological changes in mouse muscle tissue were observed using HE staining. RESULTS During myoblast differentiation and muscle regeneration, Wnt5a expression was upregulated (P < 0.001) and the Wnt5a signalling pathway was activated. Wnt5a overexpression promoted the expression of MyoD, Myf5, Myogenin, MHC, and Desmin (P < 0.05), and conversely, knockdown of Wnt5a inhibited their expression (P < 0.001). The Wnt5a pathway mediated the opening of Ca2+ channels, regulated the expression levels of CaN, NFAT2, MyoD, Myf5, Myogenin, MHC, and Desmin (P < 0.01) and promoted the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts and the repair and regeneration of injured skeletal muscle. The expression of Wnt5a, CaN, NFAT2, MyoD, Myogenin, Myf5, and MHC in C2C12 myoblast was significantly increased after curcumin intervention (P < 0.05); however, their expression decreased significantly after knocking down Wnt5a on the basis of curcumin intervention (P < 0.05). Similarly, in Wnt5a knockout mice, the promotion of muscle regeneration by curcumin was significantly attenuated. CONCLUSIONS Curcumin can activate the Wnt5a signalling pathway and mediate the opening of Ca2+ channels to accelerate the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells and the repair and regeneration of injured skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle constitutes the largest percentage of tissue in the animal body and plays a pivotal role in the development of normal life activities in the organism. However, the regulation mechanism of skeletal muscle growth and development remains largely unclear. This study investigated the effects of Ankrd1 on the proliferation and differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. Here, we identified Ankrd1 as a potential regulator of muscle cell development, and found that Ankrd1 knockdown resulted in the proliferation ability decrease but the differentiation level increase of C2C12 cells. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyzes as well as RNA-seq results showed that Ankrd1 knockdown activated focal adhesion kinase (FAK)/F-actin signal pathway with most genes significantly enriched in this pathway upregulated. The integrin subunit Itga6 promoter activity is increased when Ankrd1 knockdown, as demonstrated by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. This study revealed the molecular mechanism by which Ankrd1 knockdown enhanced FAK phosphorylation activity through the alteration of integrin subunit levels, thus activating FAK/Rho-GTPase/F-actin signal pathway, eventually promoting myoblast differentiation. Our data suggested that Ankrd1 might serve as a potential regulator of muscle cell development. Our findings provide new insights into skeletal muscle growth and development and valuable references for further study of human muscle-related diseases.

Abstract
For many clinically prevalent severe injuries, the inherent regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle remains inadequate. Skeletal muscle tissue engineering (SMTE) seeks to meet this clinical demand. With continuous progress in biomedicine and related technologies including micro/nanotechnology and 3D printing, numerous studies have uncovered various intrinsic mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle regeneration and developed tailored biomaterial systems based on these understandings. Here, the skeletal muscle structure and regeneration process are discussed and the diverse biomaterial systems derived from various technologies are explored in detail. Biomaterials serve not merely as local niches for cell growth, but also as scaffolds endowed with structural or physicochemical properties that provide tissue regenerative cues such as topographical, electrical, and mechanical signals. They can also act as delivery systems for stem cells and bioactive molecules that have been shown as key participants in endogenous repair cascades. To achieve bench-to-bedside translation, the typical effect enabled by biomaterial systems and the potential underlying molecular mechanisms are also summarized. Insights into the roles of biomaterials in SMTE from cellular and molecular perspectives are provided. Finally, perspectives on the advancement of SMTE are provided, for which gene therapy, exosomes, and hybrid biomaterials may hold promise to make important contributions.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer deaths around the world. Nitrosamine 4-(methyl nitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a tobacco-specific carcinogen of lung cancer. Abundant evidence implicates long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis. Yet, the effects and mechanisms of lncRNAs in NNK-induced carcinogenesis are still unclear. In this study, we discovered that NNK-induced transformed Beas-2B cells (Beas-2B-NNK) showed increased cell migration and proliferation while decreasing rates of apoptosis. RNA sequencing and differentially expressed lncRNAs analyses showed that lncRNA PSMB8-AS1 was obviously upregulated. Interestingly, silencing the lncRNA PSMB8-AS1 in Beas-2B-NNK cells reduced cell proliferation and migration and produced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase along with a decrease in CDK1 expression. Conclusively, our results demonstrate that lncRNA PSMB8-AS1 could promote the malignant characteristics of Beas-2B-NNK cells by regulating CDK1 and affecting the cell cycle, suggesting that it may supply a new prospective epigenetic mechanism for lung cancer.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs with endogenous regulatory functions, including regulating skeletal muscle development. However, its role in the development of skeletal muscle in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is not clear. Therefore we screened a candidate circpdlim5a, which is derived from the gene pdlim5a, from the skeletal muscle transcriptome of Japanese flounder. We characterized circpdlim5a, which was more stable compared to the linear RNA pdlim5a. Distributional characterization of circpdlim5a showed that circpdlim5a was predominantly distributed in the nucleus and was highly expressed in the skeletal muscle of adult Japanese flounder (24 months). When we further studied the circpdlim5a function, we found that it inhibited the expression of proliferation and differentiation genes according to the over-expression experiment of circpdlim5a in myoblasts. We concluded that circpdlim5a may inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts and thereby inhibit skeletal muscle development in Japanese flounder. This experiment provides information for the study of circRNAs by identifying circpdlim5a and exploring its function, and offers clues for molecular breeding from an epigenetic perspective.

Abstract
Research on adipogenesis will help to improve the meat quality of livestock. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in mammalian adipogenesis as epigenetic modulators. In this study, we analyzed lncRNA expression during bovine adipogenesis and detected 195 differentially expressed lncRNAs, including lncRNA BlncAD1, which was significantly upregulated in mature bovine adipocytes. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments confirmed that BlncAD1 promoted the proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation of bovine preadipocytes. RNA pull-down revealed that the nonmuscle myosin 10 (MYH10) is a potential binding protein of BlncAD1. Then, we elucidated that loss of BlncAD1 caused increased ubiquitination of MYH10, which confirmed that BlncAD1 regulates adipogenesis by enhancing the stability of the MYH10 protein. Western blotting was used to demonstrate that BlncAD1 activated the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Bioinformatic analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assays indicated that BlncAD1 competitively absorbed miR-27a-5p. The overexpression and interference of miR-27a-5p in bovine preadipocytes displayed that miR-27a-5p inhibited proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Further results suggested that miR-27a-5p targeted the CDK6 gene and that BlncAD1 controlled the proliferation of bovine preadipocytes by modulating the miR-27a-5p/CDK6 axis. This study revealed the complex mechanisms of BlncAD1 underlying bovine adipogenesis for the first time, which would provide useful information for genetics and breeding improvement of Chinese beef cattle.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5129. [PMID: 38791168 PMCID: PMC11121558 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25105129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The normal growth and development of skeletal muscle is essential for the health of the body. The regulation of skeletal muscle by intestinal microorganisms and their metabolites has been continuously demonstrated. Acetate is the predominant short-chain fatty acids synthesized by gut microbiota through the fermentation of dietary fiber; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing the interaction between acetate and skeletal muscle during the rapid growth stage remains to be further elucidated. Herein, specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice, germ-free (GF) mice, and germ-free mice supplemented with sodium acetate (GS) were used to evaluate the effects of acetate on the skeletal muscle growth and development of young mice with gut microbiota deficiency. We found that the concentration of serum acetate, body mass gain, succinate dehydrogenase activity, and expression of the myogenesis maker gene of skeletal muscle in the GS group were higher than those in the GF group, following sodium acetate supplementation. Furthermore, the transcriptome analysis revealed that acetate activated the biological processes that regulate skeletal muscle growth and development in the GF group, which are otherwise inhibited due to a gut microbiota deficiency. The in vitro experiment showed that acetate up-regulated Gm16062 to promote skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Overall, our findings proved that acetate promotes skeletal muscle growth and development in young mice via increasing Gm16062 expression.

Abstract
In mammals, most of the genome is transcribed to generate a large and heterogeneous variety of non-protein coding RNAs, that are broadly grouped according to their size. Long noncoding RNAs include a very large and versatile group of molecules. Despite only a minority of them has been functionally characterized, there is emerging evidence indicating long noncoding RNAs as important regulators of expression at multiple levels. Several of them have been shown to be modulated during myogenic differentiation, playing important roles in the regulation of skeletal muscle development, differentiation and homeostasis, and contributing to neuromuscular diseases. In this chapter, we have summarized the current knowledge about long noncoding RNAs in skeletal muscle and discussed specific examples of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs and circRNAs) regulating muscle stem cell biology. We have also discussed selected long noncoding RNAs involved in the most common neuromuscular diseases.

Lysine Distinctively Manipulates Myogenic Regulatory Factors and Wnt/Ca 2+ Pathway in Slow and Fast Muscles, and Their Satellite Cells of Postnatal Piglets. Cells 2024; 13:650.

Abstract
Muscle regeneration, representing an essential homeostatic process, relies mainly on the myogenic progress of resident satellite cells, and it is modulated by multiple physical and nutritional factors. Here, we investigated how myogenic differentiation-related factors and pathways respond to the first limiting amino acid lysine (Lys) in the fast and slow muscles, and their satellite cells (SCs), of swine. Thirty 28-day-old weaned piglets with similar body weights were subjected to three diet regimens: control group (d 0-28: 1.31% Lys, n = 12), Lys-deficient group (d 0-28: 0.83% Lys, n = 12), and Lys rescue group (d 0-14: 0.83% Lys; d 15-28: 1.31% Lys, n = 6). Pigs on d 15 and 29 were selectively slaughtered for muscular parameters evaluation. Satellite cells isolated from fast (semimembranosus) and slow (semitendinosus) muscles were also selected to investigate differentiation ability variations. We found Lys deficiency significantly hindered muscle development in both fast and slow muscles via the distinct manipulation of myogenic regulatory factors and the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway. In the SC model, Lys deficiency suppressed the Wnt/Ca2+ pathways and myosin heavy chain, myogenin, and myogenic regulatory factor 4 in slow muscle SCs but stimulated them in fast muscle SCs. When sufficient Lys was attained, the fast muscle-derived SCs Wnt/Ca2+ pathway (protein kinase C, calcineurin, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1) was repressed, while the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway of its counterpart was stimulated to further the myogenic differentiation. Lys potentially manipulates the differentiation of porcine slow and fast muscle myofibers via the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway in opposite trends.

Abstract
Exercise-induced mechanical loading can increase bone strength whilst mechanical unloading enhances bone-loss. Here, we investigated the role of lncRNA NONMMUT004552.2 in unloading-induced bone-loss. Knockout of lncRNA NONMMUT004552.2 in hindlimb-unloaded mice caused an increase in the bone formation and osteoblast activity. The silencing of lncRNA NONMMUT004552.2 also decreased the osteoblast apoptosis and expression of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, increased Bcl-2 protein expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. Mechanistic investigations demonstrated that NONMMUT004552.2 functions as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to facilitate the protein expression of spectrin repeat containing, nuclear envelope 1 (Syne1) by competitively binding miR-15b-5p and subsequently inhibits the osteoblast differentiation and bone formation in the microgravity unloading environment. These data highlight the importance of the lncRNA NONMMUT004552.2/miR-15b-5p/Syne1 axis for the treatment of osteoporosis.

PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2024; 49:101171. [PMID: 38103500 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2023.101171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Intermuscular bones (IBs) are mineralized spicules that negatively impact the quality and value of fish products. Runx2b is a crucial modulator in promoting bone formation through regulating osteoblast differentiation. Previous studies suggested that loss of runx2b gene completely inhibited IBs formation in zebrafish. However, how the whole transcriptome, including mRNA and non-coding RNA (ncRNA), affects the IBs development in runx2b-/- zebrafish are not known. The aim of this study was to identify the regulatory networks of differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in zebrafish with and without IBs (runx2b+/+ fish and runx2b-/- fish) utilizing high-throughput sequencing techniques. All together there are 1051 mRNAs, 456 lncRNAs, and 18 miRNAs differentially expressed were found between these two strains. The analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) has highlighted significant pathways linked to the development of IBs, specifically the TGF-beta and Wnt signaling pathways, and a number of genes concentrated on these two signaling pathways related to the formation of IBs. Further, 1989 competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were created according to the correlation among mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs. The ceRNA networks results revealed 52 ceRNA pairs related to the IBs formation, consisting of 52 mRNAs, 37 lncRNAs, and 6 miRNAs. Of these, we found that dre-miR-2189 was the key element of ceRNA pairs, interacting with 19 mRNAs and 11 lncRNAs, and MSTRG.13175.1 could regulate sp7 expression by interacting with dre-miR-2189 to function in osteogenic differentiation. Subsequent experiments at the cellular level also revealed the interaction mechanism. The outcomes indicated a crucial role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in the development of fish IBs, which offer new views into the functions of ncRNAs involved in IBs formation.

Abstract
Our previous studies showed that SYISL is a negative regulator of muscle growth and regeneration in mice, pigs and humans. SYISL knockout resulted in an increase in the density of muscle fibers and muscle growth. However, it is unclear whether there are natural mutations in pig SYNPO2 intron sense-overlapping lncRNA (pSYISL) that affect the expression of pSYISL and muscle growth traits. In this study, three SNPs in exons and six SNPs within the promoter of pSYISL were identified. Association analysis showed that the two SNPs in exons are significantly associated with loin muscle area (p < 0.05); the six SNPs in the promoter that show complete linkage are significantly associated with live backfat thickness and live loin muscle area in American Large White pigs. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assays as well as in vitro binding experiments indicated that the mutation of SNP rs702045770 (g.539G>A) leads to the loss of YY1 binding to the promoter, thus affecting the expression level of pSYISL, and we found that Jiangshan Black pigs with genotype GG have a higher expression level of pSYISL than genotype AA individuals, but the muscle fiber density was significantly lower than in genotype AA individuals. Furthermore, the association analysis showed that the carcass backfat thickness of genotype GG of SNP rs702045770 was significantly higher than that of other genotypes in (Pietrain × Duroc) × (Landrace × Yorkshire) crossbred pigs (p < 0.05). The glycolytic potential of genotype GG was significantly higher than that of other genotypes (p < 0.05). These results provide novel insight into the identification of functional SNPs in non-coding genomic regions.

Gene 2024; 893:147907. [PMID: 37858745 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.147907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been proved to be functional in the testis. Tesra, a testis-specific lncRNA, was suggested to activate the transcription of Prss42/Tessp-2, a gene that is involved in meiotic progression, in mouse spermatocytes. To reveal the molecular mechanism underlying the activation, we searched for Tesra-binding proteins by a Ribotrap assay followed by LC-MS/MS analysis and identified polypyrimidine tract binding protein 2 (PTBP2) as a candidate. Analysis of public RNA-seq data and our qRT-PCR results indicated that Ptbp2 mRNA showed an expression pattern similar to the expression patterns of Tesra and Prss42/Tessp-2 during testis development. Moreover, PTBP2 was found to be associated with Tesra in testicular germ cells by RNA immunoprecipitation. To evaluate the effect of PTBP2 on the Prss42/Tessp-2 promoter, we established an in vitro reporter gene assay system in which Tesra expression could be induced by the Tet-on system and thereby Prss42/Tessp-2 promoter activity could be increased. In this system, the Prss42/Tessp-2 promoter activity was significantly decreased by the knockdown of PTBP2. These results suggest that PTBP2 contributes to Prss42/Tessp-2 transcriptional activation by Tesra in spermatocytes. The finding provides a precious example of a molecular mechanism of testis lncRNA functioning in spermatogenesis.

Abstract
Revealing the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in inducing dysregulated pathological responses to external signals may identify therapeutic targets for inhibiting the progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Non-coding RNAs belong to a class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but possess diverse biological functions, playing essential roles in the occurrence and development of metastatic and proliferative tumors. To investigate the impact of the upstream interaction between miR-142-3p and lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 on the tumor-suppressive activity of the STAM gene, we firstly conducted bioinformatics analysis to predict the upstream miRNAs of STAM and the upstream lncRNAs of the miRNAs through online databases (miRanda, miRDB, TargetScan, LncBase v2), which were further validated by the starBasev2.0 database. Subsequently, multiple experimental techniques were employed to validate these findings, including RT-qPCR, Western blotting, measurement of cellular functional activity, and luciferase reporter assays. Through these experimental methods, we provided compelling evidence regarding the role of miR-142-3p and MAGI2-AS3 in regulating STAM gene expression and functionality, revealing their potential significance in tumor suppression. Our research demonstrates the importance of the MAGI2-AS3/miR-142-3p/STAM signaling pathway axis in ccRCC. MAGI2-AS3 competes for binding with miR-142-3p, resulting in upregulated STAM gene expression. This upregulation inhibits tumor proliferation and metastasis in ccRCC cells. Conversely, overexpression of miR-142-3p or silencing of MAGI2-AS3 promotes tumor behavior, while downregulation of miR-142-3p inhibits the development of ccRCC. Targeting the MAGI2-AS3/miR-142-3p/STAM axis holds promise as a therapeutic strategy for ccRCC treatment.

Abstract
Sarcopenia induced by muscle aging is associated with negative outcomes in a variety of diseases. Long non-coding RNAs are a class of RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides with lower protein coding potential. An increasing number of studies have shown that lncRNAs play a vital role in skeletal muscle development. According to our previous research, lncRNA GPRC5D-AS1 is selected in the present study as the target gene to further study its effect on skeletal muscle aging in a dexamethasone-induced human muscle atrophy cell model. As a result, GPRC5D-AS1 functions as a ceRNA of miR-520d-5p to repress cell apoptosis and regulate the expression of muscle regulatory factors, including MyoD, MyoG, Mef2c and Myf5, thus accelerating myoblast proliferation and differentiation, facilitating development of skeletal muscle. In conclusion, lncRNA GPRC5D-AS1 could be a novel therapeutic target for treating sarcopenia.

Abstract
Cattle skeletal muscle development is a complex and highly coordinated biological process mediated by a series of myogenic regulators, which plays a critical role in beef yield and quality. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to regulate skeletal muscle development. However, the molecular mechanism by which lncRNAs regulate skeletal muscle development is largely unknown. We performed transcriptome analysis of muscle tissues of adult and embryo Angus cattle to investigate the mechanism by which lncRNA regulates skeletal muscle development between adult and embryo cattle. A total of 37,115 candidate lncRNAs were detected, and a total of 1,998 lncRNAs were differentially expressed between the muscle tissue libraries of adult and embryo cattle, including 1,229 up-regulated lncRNAs and 769 down-regulated lncRNAs (adult cattle were the control group). We verified the expression of 7 differentially expressed lncRNAs by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), and analysed the tissue expression profile of lnc000100, which is down-regulated in the longest dorsal muscle during foetal life and which is highly specifically expressed in muscle tissue. We found that the interference of lnc000100 significantly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell differentiation. Lnc000100 was located in the nucleus by RNA-FISH. Our research provides certain resources for the analysis of lncRNA regulating cattle skeletal muscle development, and may also provide new insights for improving beef production and breed selection.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in the development of muscles. However, the role of lncRNAs in regulating skeletal muscle development has not been studied systematically in the donkey. In this study, we performed the RNA sequencing for different stages of muscles in donkeys, and investigate their expression profile, which showed that 3215 mRNAs (p-adjust <0.05) and 471 lncRNAs (p-value <0.05) were significantly differently expressed (DE) verified by RT-qPCR. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that DE genes and target genes of DE lncRNAs were associated with muscle development in the donkey. We also found these four target genes (DCN, ITM2A, MUSTN1, ARRDC2) involved in skeletal muscle growth and development. Combined with transcriptome data, network, and RT-qPCR results showed that four co-expression networks of DCN and lnc-008278, ITM2A and lnc_017247, MUSTN1 and lnc_030153, and ARRDC2 and lnc_033914, which may play an important role in the formation and development of muscle in the donkey.

Transcriptome Analysis of mRNA and lncRNA Related to Muscle Growth and Development in Gannan Yak and Jeryak. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16991.

Abstract
The production performance of Jeryak, resulting from the F1 generation of the cross between Gannan yak and Jersey cattle, exhibits a significantly superior outcome compared with that of Gannan yak. Therefore, we used an RNA-seq approach to identify differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) influencing muscle growth and development in Gannan yaks and Jeryaks. A total of 304 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 1819 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified based on the screening criteria of |log 2 FC| > 1 and FDR < 0.05. Among these, 132 lncRNAs and 1081 mRNAs were found to be down-regulated, while 172 lncRNAs and 738 mRNAs were up-regulated. GO and KEGG analyses showed that the identified DELs and DEMs were enriched in the entries of pathways associated with muscle growth and development. On this basis, we constructed an lncRNA-mRNA interaction network. Interestingly, two candidate DELs (MSTRG.16260.9 and MSTRG.22127.1) had targeting relationships with 16 (MYC, IGFBP5, IGFBP2, MYH4, FGF6, etc.) genes related to muscle growth and development. These results could provide a basis for further studies on the roles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in muscle growth in Gannan yaks and Jeryak breeds.

Abstract
Nerve injury can be caused by a variety of factors. It often takes a long time to repair a nerve injury and severe nerve injury is even difficult to heal. Therefore, increasing attention has focused on nerve injury and repair. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a newly discovered non-coding RNA with a wide range of biological activities. Numerous studies have shown that a variety of lncRNAs undergo changes in expression after nerve injury, indicating that lncRNAs may be involved in various biological processes of nerve repair and regeneration. Herein, we summarize the biological roles of lncRNAs in neurons, glial cells and other cells during nerve injury and regeneration, which will help lncRNAs to be better applied in nerve injury and regeneration in the future.

Abstract
Long non-coding metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript (lnc-Malat1) emerges as a novel regulator in skeletal muscle development, while its function and the related mechanism is not fully revealed yet. In this study, knockdown of lnc-Malat1 by siRNA significantly inhibited the expression of myoblast marker genes (MyHC, MyoD, and MyoG) and slow muscle fiber marker genes (MyHC I), together with repressed expression of mitochondria-related genes COX5A, ACADM, CPTA1, FABP3, and NDUFA1. Overexpression of lnc-Malat1 exerted an opposite effect, promoting myoblast differentiation and slow muscle fiber formation. Dual luciferase reporter assay revealed a direct interaction between lnc-Malat1 and miR-129-5p, and overexpression of lnc-Malat1 significantly inhibited miR-129-5p expression, thereby elevating the expression of Mef2a, miR-129-5p target protein. In addition, enforced expression of lnc-Malat1 restored the inhibitory effect of miR-129-5p on myoblast differentiation and MyHC I expression. Taken together, our results suggest that lnc-Malat1 promotes myoblast differentiation, and maintains the slow muscle fiber phenotype via adsorbing miR-129-5p.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is an elderly disease and is related to frailty and loss of muscle mass (atrophy) of older adults. The exact molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis of disease are yet to be discovered. In recent years, the role of noncoding RNAs in the pathogenesis of almost every kind of malignant and nonmalignant conditions is pinpointed. Regarding their regulatory function, there have been an increased number of studies on the role of noncoding RNAs in the progress of sarcopenia. In this manuscript, we review the role of microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs in development and progression of disease. We also discuss their potential as therapeutic targets in this condition.

Abstract
Transposable elements are important sources of miRNA, long non-coding RNAs genes, and their targets in the composition of protein-coding genes in plants and animals. Therefore, the detection of expression levels of specific non-coding RNAs in various tissues and cells in normal and pathological conditions may indicate a programmed pattern of transposable elements' activation. This reflects the species-specific composition and distribution of transposable elements in genomes, which underlie gene regulation in every cell division, including during aging. TEs' expression is also regulated by epigenetic factors (DNA methylation, histone modifications), SIRT6, cytidine deaminases APOBEC3, APOBEC1, and other catalytic proteins, such as ERCC, TREX1, RB1, HELLS, and MEGP2. In evolution, protein-coding genes and their regulatory elements are derived from transposons. As part of non-coding regions and introns of genes, they are sensors for transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of expression, using miRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, that arose from transposable elements in evolution. Methods (Orbld, ncRNAclassifier) and databases have been created for determining the occurrence of miRNAs from transposable elements in plants (PlanTE-MIR DB, PlaNC-TE), which can be used to design epigenetic gene networks in ontogenesis. Based on the data accumulated in the scientific literature, the presence of 467 transposon-derived miRNA genes in the human genome has been reliably established. It was proposed to create an updated and controlled online bioinformatics database of miRNAs derived from transposable elements in healthy individuals, as well as expression changes of these miRNAs during aging and various diseases, such as cancer and difficult-to-treat diseases. The use of the information obtained can open new horizons in the management of tissue and organ differentiation to aging slow down. In addition, the created database could become the basis for clarifying the mechanisms of pathogenesis of various diseases (imbalance in the activity of transposable elements, reflected in changes in the expression of miRNAs) and designing their targeted therapy using specific miRNAs as targets. This article provides examples of the detection of transposable elements-derived miRNAs involved in the development of specific malignant neoplasms, aging, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
The circadian clock regulates cellular and molecular processes in mammals across all tissues including skeletal muscle, one of the largest organs in the human body. Dysregulated circadian rhythms are characteristic of aging and crewed spaceflight, associated with, for example, musculoskeletal atrophy. Molecular insights into spaceflight-related alterations of circadian regulation in skeletal muscle are still missing. Here, we investigated potential functional consequences of clock disruptions on skeletal muscle using published omics datasets obtained from spaceflights and other clock-altering, external (fasting and exercise), or internal (aging) conditions on Earth. Our analysis identified alterations of the clock network and skeletal muscle-associated pathways, as a result of spaceflight duration in mice, which resembles aging-related gene expression changes observed in humans on Earth (e.g., ATF4 downregulation, associated with muscle atrophy). Furthermore, according to our results, external factors such as exercise or fasting lead to molecular changes in the core-clock network, which may compensate for the circadian disruption observed during spaceflights. Thus, maintaining circadian functioning is crucial to ameliorate unphysiological alterations and musculoskeletal atrophy reported among astronauts.

Abstract
The osteonecrotic area of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is a hypoxic microenvironment that leads to apoptosis of transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we explore the mechanism of hypoxic-induced apoptosis of BMSCs, and use the mechanism to improve the transplantation efficacy of BMSCs. Our results show that the long non-coding RNA AABR07053481 (LncAABR07053481) is downregulated in BMSCs and closely related to the degree of hypoxia. Overexpression of LncAABR07053481 could increase the survival rate of BMSCs. Further exploration of the downstream target gene indicates that LncAABR07053481 acts as a molecular "sponge" of miR-664-2-5p to relieve the silencing effect of miR-664-2-5p on the target gene Notch1. Importantly, the survival rate of BMSCs overexpressing LncAABR07053481 is significantly improved after transplantation, and the repair effect of BMSCs in the osteonecrotic area is also improved. This study reveal the mechanism by which LncAABR07053481 inhibits hypoxia-induced apoptosis of BMSCs by regulating the miR-664-2-5p/Notch1 pathway and its therapeutic effect on SANFH.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a complex multifactorial and chronic inflammatory vascular disease that contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Abnormal cellular proliferation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) is a crucial element in AS development. In this study, we investigated the potential role of the long noncoding RNA LINC02381/microRNA (miR)‐491‐5p/transcription factor 7 (TCF7) axis in regulating HUVEC injury in 30 participants suffering from AS and 30 healthy control participants. We established an in vitro model of AS in HUVECs using oxidized low‐density lipoprotein (ox‐LDL), and measured cellular mRNA and protein levels of LINC02381, miR‐491‐5p, and TCF7 in serum samples using reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting assays. We evaluated cell viability, apoptosis, and inflammation using Cell Counting Kit‐8, flow cytometry, and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays, respectively. Moreover, we analyzed apoptosis‐related protein expression using western blotting analysis and determined the association between miR‐491‐5p and LINC02381 or TCF7 using dual‐luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull‐down, and rescue experiments. We observed that LINC02381 was elevated, while miR‐491‐5p was downregulated in serum samples from participants with AS and in ox‐LDL‐treated HUVECs. LINC02381 knockdown was protective against HUVEC injury via miR‐491‐5p inhibition, which is its downstream target. Rescue experiments further demonstrated that miR‐491‐5p alleviated HUVEC injury by modulating TCF7. Thus, LINC02381 knockdown ameliorated HUVEC injury by regulating the miR‐491‐5p/TCF7 axis, which provides new insights into AS treatment strategies.

MicroRNA-200c-5p Regulates Migration and Differentiation of Myoblasts via Targeting Adamts5 in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration and Myogenesis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054995.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle, as a regenerative organization, plays a vital role in physiological characteristics and homeostasis. However, the regulation mechanism of skeletal muscle regeneration is not entirely clear. miRNAs, as one of the regulatory factors, exert profound effects on regulating skeletal muscle regeneration and myogenesis. This study aimed to discover the regulatory function of important miRNA miR-200c-5p in skeletal muscle regeneration. In our study, miR-200c-5p increased at the early stage and peaked at first day during mouse skeletal muscle regeneration, which was also highly expressed in skeletal muscle of mouse tissue profile. Further, overexpression of miR-200c-5p promoted migration and inhibited differentiation of C2C12 myoblast, whereas inhibition of miR-200c-5p had the opposite effect. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that Adamts5 has potential binding sites for miR-200c-5p at 3'UTR region. Dual-luciferase and RIP assays further proved that Adamts5 is a target gene of miR-200c-5p. The expression patterns of miR-200c-5p and Adamts5 were opposite during the skeletal muscle regeneration. Moreover, miR-200c-5p can rescue the effects of Adamts5 in the C2C12 myoblast. In conclusion, miR-200c-5p might play a considerable function during skeletal muscle regeneration and myogenesis. These findings will provide a promising gene for promoting muscle health and candidate therapeutic target for skeletal muscle repair.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle development is a multistep biological process regulated by a variety of myogenic regulatory factors, including MyoG, MyoD, Myf5, and Myf6 (also known as MRF4), as well as members of the FoxO subfamily. Differentiation and regeneration during skeletal muscle myogenesis contribute to the physiological function of muscles. Super enhancers (SEs) and enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) are involved in the regulation of development and diseases. Few studies have identified the roles of SEs and eRNAs in muscle development and pathophysiology. To develop approaches to enhance skeletal muscle mass and function, a more comprehensive understanding of the key processes underlying muscular diseases is needed. In this review, we summarize the roles of SEs and eRNAs in muscle development and disease through affecting of DNA methylation, FoxO subfamily, RAS-MEK signaling, chromatin modifications and accessibility, MyoD and cis regulating target genes. The summary could inform strategies to increase muscle mass and treat muscle-related diseases.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CC) is one of the most aggressive cancers, with a high mortality rate worldwide. This study focuses on the mechanism of CC to explore the effective therapeutic targets. We determined that LncRNA TP73-AS1 (TP-73-AS1) expression was significantly increased in CC tissues. TP73-AS1 silencing dynamically inhibited the proliferation, migratory and invasive capacity in CC cells. Mechanistically, we found that TP73-AS1 targeted miR-539-5p and miR-539-5p silencing could promote the migratory and invasive capacity in CC cells. Further study also confirmed that SPP-1 expression significantly increased after co-transfection of miR-539-5p inhibitors. Knockdown the SPP-1 can reverse malignant properties of CC cells. Si-TP73-AS1 suppressed the tumor growth of CC cells in vivo. In a word, we found that TP73-AS1 enhances the malignant properties of colorectal cancer by increasing SPP-1 expression through miRNA-539-5p sponging. And our study provides a potential therapeutic target of CC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Miniature pigs are considered ideal organ donors for xenotransplantation in humans, but the mechanism underlying their dwarfism remains to be elucidated. IGF-1R is a crucial factor in body size formation in mammals, including skeletal muscle formation and development. The extracellular domain (ECD) binds to the ligand, a phenomenon that results in the activation of downstream pathways. METHODS In this study, the coding sequences of two IGF-1R ECD haplotypes of the large Landrace (LP) pig and the small Bama Xiang (BM) pig were cloned into pcDNA3.1 vectors to generate pcDNA3.1-LP and pcDNA3.1-BM. The two recombinant vectors were then transfected into skeletal muscle cells. RESULTS IGF-1R transcript was found to be expressed at higher levels in the pcDNA3.1-LP group than in the pcDNA3.1-BM group. The IGF-1R ECD from LP promoted cell proliferation and CyclinD1 expression, and promoted the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (to yield p-AKT). Moreover, the IGF-1R ECD from LP increased cell differentiation and the expression of myogenic determination factor (MyoD). CONCLUSION Our data indicated that the IGF-1R ECD haplotypes between pig breeds with different body sizes affect IGF-1R expression, in turn affecting the proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells by activating downstream signalling pathways.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2023; 14:1033-1045. [PMID: 36755335 PMCID: PMC10067481 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence shows that tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are not only by-products of transfer RNAs, but they participate in numerous cellular metabolic processes. However, the role of tsRNAs in skeletal muscle regeneration remains unknown. METHODS Small RNA sequencing revealed the relationship between tsRNAs and skeletal muscle injury. The dynamic expression level of 5'tiRNA-Gly after muscle injury was confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR (q-PCR). In addition, q-PCR, flow cytometry, the 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (Edu), cell counting kit-8, western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to explore the biological function of 5'tiRNA-Gly. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay were used to further explore the mechanism of action under the biological function of 5'tiRNA-Gly. RESULTS Transcriptome analysis revealed that tsRNAs were significantly enriched during inflammatory response immediately after muscle injury. Interestingly, we found that 5'tiRNA-Gly was significantly up-regulated after muscle injury (P < 0.0001) and had a strong positive correlation with inflammation in vivo. In vitro experiments showed that 5'tiRNA-Gly promoted the mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, P = 0.0468; IL-6, P = 0.0369) and the macrophages of M1 markers (TNF-α, P = 0.0102; CD80, P = 0.0056; MCP-1, P = 0.0002). On the contrary, 5'tiRNA-Gly inhibited the mRNA expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, P = 0.0009; IL-10, P = 0.0007; IL-13, P = 0.0008) and the mRNA expression of M2 markers (TGF-β1, P = 0.0016; ARG1, P = 0.0083). Flow cytometry showed that 5'tiRNA-Gly promoted the percentage of CD86+ macrophages (16%, P = 0.011) but inhibited that of CD206+ macrophages (10.5%, P = 0.012). Immunofluorescence showed that knockdown of 5'tiRNA-Gly increased the infiltration of M2 macrophages to the skeletal muscles (13.9%, P = 0.0023) and inhibited the expression of Pax7 (P = 0.0089) in vivo. 5'tiRNA-Gly promoted myoblast the expression of myogenic differentiation marker genes (MyoD, P = 0.0002; MyoG, P = 0.0037) and myotube formation (21.3%, P = 0.0016) but inhibited the positive rate of Edu (27.7%, P = 0.0001), cell viability (22.6%, P = 0.003) and the number of myoblasts in the G2 phase (26.3%, P = 0.0016) in vitro. Mechanistically, we found that the Tgfbr1 gene is a direct target of 5'tiRNA-Gly mediated by AGO1 and AGO3. 5'tiRNA-Gly dysregulated the expression of downstream genes related to inflammatory response, activation of satellite cells and differentiation of myoblasts through the TGF-β signalling pathway by targeting Tgfbr1. CONCLUSIONS These results reveal that 5'tiRNA-Gly potentially regulated skeletal muscle regeneration by inducing inflammation via the TGF-β signalling pathway. The findings of this study uncover a new potential target for skeletal muscle regeneration treatment.

Cardiac fibrosis remains an unresolved problem in cardiovascular diseases. Fibrosis of the myocardium plays a key role in the clinical outcomes of patients with heart injuries. Moderate fibrosis is favorable for cardiac structure maintaining and contractile force transmission, whereas adverse fibrosis generally progresses to ventricular remodeling and cardiac systolic or diastolic dysfunction. The molecular mechanisms involved in these processes are multifactorial and complex. Several molecular mechanisms, such as TGF-β signaling pathway, extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and degradation, and non-coding RNAs, positively or negatively regulate myocardial fibrosis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as significant mediators in gene regulation in cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs are crucial in genetic programming and gene expression during myocardial fibrosis. We summarize the function of lncRNAs in cardiac fibrosis and their contributions to miRNA expression, TGF-β signaling, and ECMs synthesis, with a particular attention on the exosome-derived lncRNAs in the regulation of adverse fibrosis as well as the mode of action of lncRNAs secreted into exosomes. We also discuss how the current knowledge on lncRNAs can be applied to develop novel therapeutic strategies to prevent or reverse cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) apoptosis is a vital manifestation of retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, yet the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The contribution of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to this cellular process is currently being explored. Based on a lncRNA chip assay, we aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA uc007nnj.1 in the pathological process of ischemia-induced RGCs apoptosis. METHODS Hank's balanced salt solution containing 10 µM antimycin A and 2 µM calcium ionophore for 2 h to construct an ischemic model in RGCs, and elevation of intraocular pressure to 120 mm Hg for 1 h was used to construct a mouse model of retinal I/R injury. RESULTS In this study, lncRNA uc007nnj.1 was highly upregulated in response to I/R injury in RGCs and mouse retinas. In addition, lncRNA uc007nnj.1 knockdown reduced retinal neuronal cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo and significantly improved retinal function. DISCUSSION Mechanistically, the results demonstrated that lncRNA uc007nnj.1 acts as ceRNA competitively binding miR-155-5p, thereby enhancing the expression levels of Tle4, thus aggravating ischemia-related apoptosis in RGCs. CONCLUSIONS Finally, our study identifies the lncRNA uc007nnj.1/miR-155-5p/Tle4 axis as a potential target for the prevention of I/R-induced retinal neuronal death.

FHL3 promotes the formation of fast glycolytic muscle fibers by interacting with YY1 and muscle glycolytic metabolism. Cell Mol Life Sci 2023; 80:27. [PMID: 36602641 PMCID: PMC11073127 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-022-04680-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
The proportions of the various muscle fiber types are important in the regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism, as well as animal meat production. Four-and-a-half LIM domain protein 3 (FHL3) is highly expressed in fast glycolytic muscle fibers and differentially regulates the expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms at the cellular level. Whether FHL3 regulates the transformation of muscle fiber types in vivo and the regulatory mechanism is unclear. In this study, muscle-specific FHL3 transgenic mice were generated by random integration, and lentivirus-mediated gene knockdown or overexpression in muscles of mice or pigs was conducted. Functional analysis showed that overexpression of FHL3 in muscles significantly increased the proportion of fast-twitch myofibers and muscle mass but decreased muscle succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity and whole-body oxygen consumption. Lentivirus-mediated FHL3 knockdown in muscles significantly decreased muscle mass and the proportion of fast-twitch myofibers. Mechanistically, FHL3 directly interacted with the Yin yang 1 (YY1) DNA-binding domain, repressed the binding of YY1 to the fast glycolytic MyHC2b gene regulatory region, and thereby promoted MyHC2b expression. FHL3 also competed with EZH2 to bind the repression domain of YY1 and reduced H3K27me3 enrichment in the MyHC2b regulatory region. Moreover, FHL3 overexpression reduced glucose tolerance by affecting muscle glycolytic metabolism, and its mRNA expression in muscle was positively associated with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, FHL3 is a novel potential target gene for the treatment of muscle metabolism-related diseases and improvement of animal meat production.

Abstract
The mammalian transcriptome comprises a vast family of long noncoding (lnc)RNAs implicated in physiologic processes such as myogenesis, through which muscle forms during embryonic development and regenerates in the adult. However, the specific molecular mechanisms by which lncRNAs regulate human myogenesis are poorly understood. Here, we identified a novel muscle-specific lncRNA, lncFAM71E1-2:2 (lncFAM), which increased robustly during early human myogenesis. Overexpression of lncFAM promoted differentiation of human myoblasts into myotubes, while silencing lncFAM suppressed this process. As lncFAM resides in the nucleus, chromatin isolation by RNA purification followed by mass spectrometry (ChIRP-MS) analysis was employed to identify the molecular mechanisms whereby it might promote myogenesis. Analysis of lncFAM-interacting proteins revealed that lncFAM recruited the RNA-binding protein HNRNPL to the promoter of MYBPC2, in turn increasing MYBPC2 mRNA transcription and enhancing production of the myogenic protein MYBPC2. These results highlight a mechanism whereby a novel ribonucleoprotein complex, lncFAM-HNRNPL, elevates MYBPC2 expression transcriptionally to promote myogenesis.

Abstract
Nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a highly conserved RNA quality control system, which can specifically clear abnormal mRNA and play an important role in tumorigenesis. Myoblast proliferation plays an important role in the repair of skeletal muscle injury and the development of myosarcoma, and is controlled by a variety of transcription factors and signals. The molecular mechanism by which NMD regulates the proliferation of myoblast cells is not completely clear. In this study, we found that the NMD activity of skeletal muscle is high in 1-week-old mice but decreases gradually with age, corresponding to a weakening capacity for muscle growth and regeneration. Here, we provide evidence that NMD plays an important role in myoblast proliferation and apoptosis. In addition, we found that PIK3R5 is an NMD substrate gene which can inhibit AKT activity and C2C12 cell proliferation. Therefore, NMD can target PIK3R5 to enhance AKT activity, which in turn promotes C2C12 cell proliferation. This study provides new insights into NMD regulatory mechanisms in muscular development and into potential novel therapeutic strategies for muscle atrophy.

Abstract
AbstractSclerostin negatively regulates bone formation by antagonizing Wnt signalling. An antibody targeting sclerostin for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with a boxed warning for cardiovascular risk. Here we demonstrate that sclerostin participates in protecting cardiovascular system and inhibiting bone formation via different loops. Loop3 deficiency by genetic truncation could maintain sclerostin’s protective effect on the cardiovascular system while attenuating its inhibitory effect on bone formation. We identify an aptamer, named aptscl56, which specifically targets sclerostin loop3 and use a modified aptscl56 version, called Apc001PE, as specific in vivo pharmacologic tool to validate the above effect of loop3. Apc001PE has no effect on aortic aneurysm and atherosclerotic development in ApoE−/− mice and hSOSTki.ApoE−/− mice with angiotensin II infusion. Apc001PE can promote bone formation in hSOSTki mice and ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic rats. In summary, sclerostin loop3 cannot participate in protecting the cardiovascular system, but participates in inhibiting bone formation.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a novel class of noncoding RNAs that have emerged as critical regulators and biomarkers in various cancers. Nevertheless, the expression profile and mechanistic function of lncRNAs in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remain unclear. Herein, we examined the expression levels of linc00976 in clinical specimens and cell lines using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. In total, 50 patients with CCA were enrolled to analyze the correlation between linc00976 expression and clinical characteristics of CCA. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were performed to investigate the biological effects of linc00976 on proliferation, ferroptosis, migration, and invasion of CCA cells in vitro and in vivo. In situ hybridization, RNA immunoprecipitation, bioinformatic databases, RNA pull-down assay, a dual-luciferase reporter assay, mRNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR, and rescue experiments were performed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of linc00976-induced competitive endogenous RNA regulatory networks. We characterized a novel and abundant lncRNA, linc00976, that functions as a pro-oncogenic regulator of CCA progression. Compared with normal controls, linc00976 was dramatically upregulated in CCA tissue samples and cell lines. Patients with CCA exhibiting high linc00976 expression had a highly advanced clinical stage, substantial lymph node metastasis, and poor overall survival. Knockdown of linc00976 significantly repressed proliferation and metastasis and promoted ferroptosis of CCA cells both in vitro and in vivo, whereas linc00976 overexpression exerted the opposite effect. Mechanistically, linc00976 competitively interacted with miR-3202 to upregulate GPX4 expression, thus contributing to the malignant biological behavior of CCA cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that JUND specifically interacts with the linc00976 promoter and activates linc00976 transcription. Accordingly, JUND promotes linc00976 transcription, and linc00976 plays a crucial role in accelerating CCA tumorigenesis and metastasis and inhibiting ferroptosis by modulating the miR-3202/GPX4 axis. These findings suggest that targeting linc00976 may afford a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with CCA.

LncRNA BANCR Promotes Endometrial Stromal Cell Proliferation and Invasion in Endometriosis via the miR-15a-5p/TRIM59 Axis. Int J Genomics 2022; 2022:9083822.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) emerges as a regulator in various diseases, including endometriosis (EM). This study aims to uncover the role of long non-coding RNA BRAF-activated non-protein coding RNA (lncRNA BANCR)-mediated competing endogenous RNA mechanism in endometrial stromal cell (ESC) proliferation and invasion in EM by regulating miR-15a-5p/TRIM59. ESCs were isolated from eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues, followed by the determination of Cytokeratin 19 and Vimentin expressions in cells. Then, expressions of lncRNA BANCR, microRNA (miR)-15a-5p, and tripartite motif-containing 59 (TRIM59) in tissues and cells were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction or Western blot assay, and cell proliferation and invasion were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 and transwell assays. After that, the subcellular localization of lncRNA BANCR and binding of miR-15a-5p to lncRNA BANCR or TRIM59 were analyzed. LncRNA BANCR was upregulated in ectopic endometrial tissues and ectopic ESCs (Ect-ESCs). Silencing lncRNA BANCR suppressed Ect-ESC proliferation and invasion. LncRNA BANCR inhibited miR-15a-5p to promote TRIM59 expression. miR-15a-5p downregulation or TRIM59 overexpression both reversed the effects of silencing lncRNA BANCR on Ect-ESC proliferation and invasion. In summary, our findings suggested that lncRNA BANCR facilitated Ect-ESC proliferation and invasion by inhibiting miR-15a-5p and promoting TRIM59.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the spatial and temporal regulation of muscle development and regeneration. Nevertheless, the determination of their biological functions and mechanisms underlying muscle regeneration remains challenging. Here, we identified a lncRNA named lncMREF (lncRNA muscle regeneration enhancement factor) as a conserved positive regulator of muscle regeneration among mice, pigs and humans. Functional studies demonstrated that lncMREF, which is mainly expressed in differentiated muscle satellite cells, promotes myogenic differentiation and muscle regeneration. Mechanistically, lncMREF interacts with Smarca5 to promote chromatin accessibility when muscle satellite cells are activated and start to differentiate, thereby facilitating genomic binding of p300/CBP/H3K27ac to upregulate the expression of myogenic regulators, such as MyoD and cell differentiation. Our results unravel a novel temporal-specific epigenetic regulation during muscle regeneration and reveal that lncMREF/Smarca5-mediated epigenetic programming is responsible for muscle cell differentiation, which provides new insights into the regulatory mechanism of muscle regeneration.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle, comprising approximately 40% of body mass, is a highly complex and heterogeneous tissue serving a multitude of functions in the organism. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are known to participate in skeletal muscle development as critical regulators. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ncRNAs on chicken muscle traits are not well understood. In the present study, we collected the leg muscle from male embryos of Tibetan chicken at embryonic (E) 10 and E18 for RNA sequencing. A total of 6,583 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEMs) including 3,055 down-regulated and 3,528 up-regulated were identified in E18. We identified 695 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) (187 down-regulated and 508 up-regulated) and 1,906 differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) (1,224 down-regulated and 682 up-regulated) in E18. Among the 130 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMIs), 59 were up-regulated and 71 were down-regulated in E18. Numerous DEMs and target genes for miRNAs/lncRNAs were significantly enriched in the muscle system process and cell cycle. We constructed a miRNA-gene-pathway network by considering target relationships between genes related to skeletal muscle development and miRNAs. A competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was also constructed by integrating competing relationships between DEMs, DELs, and DECs. Several DELs and DECs were predicted to regulate the ADRA1B, ATP2A2, ATP2B1, CACNA1S, CACNB4, MYLK2, and ROCK2 genes. We discovered the crosstalk between the ncRNAs and their competing mRNAs, which provides insights into ceRNA function and mechanisms in the skeletal muscle development of chicken.

Abstract
DNA methylation has crucial roles in regulating the expression of genes involved in skeletal muscle development. However, the DNA methylation pattern of lncRNA during sheep skeletal muscle development remains unclear. This study investigated previous WGBS and LncRNA data in skeletal muscle of sheep (fetus and adult). We then focused on LncRNA GTL2, which is differentially expressed in skeletal muscle and has multiple DMRs. We found that the expression level of GTL2 decreased with age. GTL2 DMRs methylation levels were significantly higher in adult muscle than in fetal muscle. After 5AZA treatment, GTL2 expression was significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner.The dCas9-DNMT3A-sgRNA significantly reduced the expression level of GTL2 in cells, but increased GTL2 DMR methylation levels. The above studies indicate that dCas9-DNMT3A can effectively increase the methylation level in the DMR region of GTL2, the expression level of GTL2 is regulated by DNA methylation during muscle development.

Abstract
The rumen is an essential digestive and absorption organ of ruminants. During fetal life, lactation, and post-weaning period, goat rumen undergoes drastic morphological and metabolic-functional changes triggered by potential regulated genes and non-coding RNA molecules. As the essential regulatory factors, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have vital functions in various biological activities. However, their roles during rumen development are still poorly explored in ruminants. To explore the genome-wide expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in the goat rumens, we generated 5,007 lncRNAs and 19,738 mRNAs identified during the fetal and prepubertal stages by the high-throughput RNA sequencing. Notably, 365 lncRNAs and 2,877 mRNAs were considered to be differentially expressed. The weighted gene co-expression network analysis and functional analysis were performed to explore the regulatory roles of those differentially expressed molecules. The cis-and trans-target genes of differently expressed lncRNAs were enriched for pathways related to focal adhesion, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, and fat digestion and absorption. Gene Ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses showed that the differently expressed genes mainly participated in mitotic cytokinesis, desmosome, fatty acid degradation, cell adhesion molecules, and fatty acid metabolism. The prediction of lncRNA-mRNA interaction networks further revealed transcripts potentially involved in rumen development. The present study profiles a global overview of lncRNAs and mRNAs during rumen development. Our findings provide valuable resources for genetic regulation and molecular mechanisms of rumen development in ruminants.

Abstract
Buffalo meat is of good quality because it is lean and tender, and could bring significant cardiovascular benefits. The underlying difference in muscle development and meat quality is a complex and precisely orchestrated process which has been demonstrated to be regulated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, the regulatory role of lncRNAs in the growth and development of buffalo skeletal muscle is still unclear. In this study, the Ribo-Zero RNA-Seq method was used to explore the lncRNA expression profiles of buffalo myoblasts during the proliferation and differentiation phases. A specific set of 9,978 lncRNAs was found. By comparing the expression profiles of lncRNAs, it was found that there were 1,576 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) during buffalo myoblast differentiation. Twelve DELs were chosen and subsequently verified in eight different buffalo tissues during fetal and adult stages by using qPCR. Gene11007 was found to be one of the most down-regulated lncRNAs during buffalo myoblasts differentiation and it was subsequently characterized. EdU, CCK-8, qPCR and western blotting assays showed that gene11007 promoted the proliferation of buffalo myoblasts but it had no effect on cell differentiation. Our research may enrich the genome annotations of buffalo and provide a new molecular target for the in-depth understanding of the regulation of lncRNAs in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of transcriptional RNA molecules, which play critical roles in diverse biological processes. However, little is known about the overall expression pattern and roles of lncRNAs in skeletal muscle of largemouth bass (LMB). Here, we constructed two skeletal muscle RNA libraries to find lncRNAs that may involve in the regulation of skeletal muscle development between juvenile and adult LMB. A total of 16,147 lncRNAs and 4611 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified. Among these identified lncRNAs, 10 lncRNAs were randomly selected to confirm their expression by real-time qPCR both in libraries, which were consistent with the RNA sequencing results. The target mRNAs of lncRNAs were predicted for GO enrichment analysis. Results showed that these targets associated with growth and development of muscle, such as skeletal muscle fiber development, myoblast proliferation and differentiation. Importantly, correlation analysis of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network revealed that several lncRNAs targeted miRNAs which are closely involved in the regulation of muscle development. It is the first time to identify a number of lncRNA that correlate with skeletal muscle development in LMB. Our results not only provide a comprehensive expression profile of muscle lncRNAs in this species, but also provide a theoretical basis for further elaborating genetic regulation mechanism of muscle growth and development, and pave the way for the future molecular assisted breeding in carnivorous fishes.

Abstract
Skeletal myogenesis is a highly ordered process finely regulated by various factors. Long non-coding RNAs play an important regulatory role in myogenesis via multiple mechanisms. In this study, we identified the lncRNA Gm10561, which was upregulated during myogenic differentiation and is highly expressed in skeletal muscle. Knockdown of Gm10561 inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts in vitro and muscle growth in vivo. Overexpression of Gm10561 promoted the proliferation and differentiation of both C2C12 myoblasts and porcine muscle satellite cells. Notably, lncRNA Gm10561 is localized in the cytoplasm and competitively bound to miR-432, which directly targets MEF2C and E2F3. It was confirmed that lncRNA Gm10561 regulates the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts by acting as a sponge of miR-432 to modulate MEF2C and E2F3 expression. Thus, the lncRNA-Gm10561-miR-432-MEF2C/E2F3 axis plays an important role in myogenesis.
