Intronic Determinants Coordinate Charme lncRNA Nuclear Activity through the Interaction with MATR3 and PTBP1

CyCoNP lncRNA establishes cis and trans RNA-RNA interactions to supervise neuron physiology

The combination of morphogenetic and transcription factors together with the synergic aid of noncoding RNAs and their cognate RNA binding proteins contribute to shape motor neurons (MN) identity. Here, we extend the noncoding perspective of human MN, by detailing the molecular and biological activity of CyCoNP (as Cytoplasmic Coordinator of Neural Progenitors) a highly expressed and MN-enriched human lncRNA. Through in silico prediction, in vivo RNA purification and loss of function experiments followed by RNA-sequencing, we found that CyCoNP sustains a specific neuron differentiation program, required for the physiology of both neuroblastoma cells and hiPSC-derived MN, which mainly involves miR-4492 and NCAM1 mRNA. We propose a novel lncRNA-mediated 'dual mode' of action, in which CyCoNP acts in trans as a classical RNA sponge by sequestering miR-4492 from its pro-neuronal targets, including NCAM1 mRNA, and at the same time it plays an additional role in cis by interacting with NCAM1 mRNA and regulating the availability and localization of the miR-4492 in its proximity. These data highlight novel insights into the noncoding RNA-mediated control of human neuron physiology and point out the importance of lncRNA-mediated interactions for the spatial distribution of regulatory molecules.

The role of Matrin-3 in physiology and its dysregulation in disease

The dysfunction of many RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that are heavily disordered, including TDP-43 and FUS, are implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD). These proteins serve many important roles in the cell, and their capacity to form biomolecular condensates (BMCs) is key to their function, but also a vulnerability that can lead to misregulation and disease. Matrin-3 (MATR3) is an intrinsically disordered RBP implicated both genetically and pathologically in ALS/FTD, though it is relatively understudied as compared with TDP-43 and FUS. In addition to binding RNA, MATR3 also binds DNA and is implicated in many cellular processes including the DNA damage response, transcription, splicing, and cell differentiation. It is unclear if MATR3 localizes to BMCs under physiological conditions, which is brought further into question due to its lack of a prion-like domain. Here, we review recent studies regarding MATR3 and its roles in numerous physiological processes, as well as its implication in a range of diseases.

Long non-coding RNAs in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure: functions, mechanisms and clinical prospects

The surge in reports describing non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has focused attention on their possible biological roles and effects on development and disease. ncRNAs have been touted as previously uncharacterized regulators of gene expression and cellular processes, possibly working to fine-tune these functions. The sheer number of ncRNAs identified has outpaced the capacity to characterize each molecule thoroughly and to reliably establish its clinical relevance; it has, nonetheless, created excitement about their potential as molecular targets for novel therapeutic approaches to treat human disease. In this Review, we focus on one category of ncRNAs - long non-coding RNAs - and their expression, functions and molecular mechanisms in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. We further discuss the prospects for this specific class of ncRNAs as novel targets for the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

Transcription regulation by long non-coding RNAs: mechanisms and disease relevance

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) outnumber protein-coding transcripts, but their functions remain largely unknown. In this Review, we discuss the emerging roles of lncRNAs in the control of gene transcription. Some of the best characterized lncRNAs have essential transcription cis-regulatory functions that cannot be easily accomplished by DNA-interacting transcription factors, such as XIST, which controls X-chromosome inactivation, or imprinted lncRNAs that direct allele-specific repression. A growing number of lncRNA transcription units, including CHASERR, PVT1 and HASTER (also known as HNF1A-AS1) act as transcription-stabilizing elements that fine-tune the activity of dosage-sensitive genes that encode transcription factors. Genetic experiments have shown that defects in such transcription stabilizers often cause severe phenotypes. Other lncRNAs, such as lincRNA-p21 (also known as Trp53cor1) and Maenli (Gm29348) contribute to local activation of gene transcription, whereas distinct lncRNAs influence gene transcription in trans. We discuss findings of lncRNAs that elicit a function through either activation of their transcription, transcript elongation and processing or the lncRNA molecule itself. We also discuss emerging evidence of lncRNA involvement in human diseases, and their potential as therapeutic targets.

TREX reveals proteins that bind to specific RNA regions in living cells

Different regions of RNA molecules can often engage in specific interactions with distinct RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), giving rise to diverse modalities of RNA regulation and function. However, there are currently no methods for unbiased identification of RBPs that interact with specific RNA regions in living cells and under endogenous settings. Here we introduce TREX (targeted RNase H-mediated extraction of crosslinked RBPs)-a highly sensitive approach for identifying proteins that directly bind to specific RNA regions in living cells. We demonstrate that TREX outperforms existing methods in identifying known interactors of U1 snRNA, and reveals endogenous region-specific interactors of NORAD long noncoding RNA. Using TREX, we generated a comprehensive region-by-region interactome for 45S rRNA, uncovering both established and previously unknown interactions that regulate ribosome biogenesis. With its applicability to different cell types, TREX is an RNA-centric tool for unbiased positional mapping of endogenous RNA-protein interactions in living cells.

In Situ Hybridization of circRNAs in Cells and Tissues through BaseScope™ Strategy

Imaging-based approaches are powerful strategies that nowadays have been largely used to gain insight into the function of different types of macromolecules. As for RNA, it is becoming clear how important is its intracellular localization for the control of proper cell differentiation and development and how its perturbation can be linked to several pathological states. This aspect is even more important if one thinks of highly polarized cells such as neurons.In this chapter, we describe in detail an innovative RNA-FISH approach for the detection of circular RNAs (circRNAs), a recently discovered class of noncoding RNAs, which display different subcellular localizations and whose functions still largely remain to be elucidated. The detection of these molecules represents a great challenge, above all because they share most of their sequence with the corresponding linear counterparts, from which they differ only for the back-splicing junction (BSJ) originating from the circularization reaction. This implies the use of RNA-FISH probes capable of specifically binding the BSJ and avoiding the detection of the linear counterpart. This requirement imposes the design of probes on a very small region, which implies the risk of obtaining a low and undetectable signal. The BaseScope™ Assay RNA-FISH technology overpasses this problem since it is based on branched-DNA probes. With this approach it is possible to target a specific region of the RNA, even small such as a splicing junction, and at the same time to obtain a strong and well detectable signal. All this is possible thanks to subsequent series of probes that, starting from the first hybridization to the BSJ, build a branched tree of probes that greatly amplifies the signal. Here we provide a detailed step-by-step protocol of BaseScope™ RNA-FISH on circRNAs coupled with immunofluorescence, both in cells and tissues, and we address difficulties which may arise when using this methodology that depend on cell type, specific permeabilization, image acquisition, and post-acquisition analyses.

Preparation of Cardiac Extracts from Embryonal Hearts to Capture RNA-protein Interactions by CLIP

The interaction of RNA with specific RNA-binding proteins (RBP) leads to the establishment of complex regulatory networks through which gene expression is controlled. Careful consideration should be given to the exact environment where a given RNA/RBP interplay occurs, as the functional responses might depend on the type of organism as well as the specific cellular or subcellular contexts. This requisite becomes particularly crucial for the study of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), as a consequence of their peculiar tissue-specificity and timely regulated expression. The functional characterization of lncRNAs has traditionally relied on the use of established cell lines that, although useful, are unable to fully recapitulate the complexity of a tissue or organ. Here, we detail an optimized protocol, with comments and tips, to identify the RNA interactome of given RBPs by performing cross-linking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) from mouse embryonal hearts. We tested the efficiency of this protocol on the murine pCharme, a muscle-specific lncRNA interacting with Matrin3 (MATR3) and forming RNA-enriched condensates of biological significance in the nucleus. Key features • The protocol refines previous methods of cardiac extracts preparation to use for CLIP assays. • The protocol allows the quantitative RNA-seq analysis of transcripts interacting with selected proteins. • Depending on the embryonal stage, a high number of hearts can be required as starting material. • The steps are adaptable to other tissues and biochemical assays.

Long non-coding RNA MIDEAS-AS1 inhibits growth and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer via transcriptionally activating NCALD

BACKGROUND

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer with higher aggressiveness and poorer outcomes. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have become the crucial gene regulators in the progression of human cancers. However, the function and underlying mechanisms of lncRNAs in TNBC remains unclear.

METHODS

Based on public databases and bioinformatics analyses, the low expression of lncRNA MIDEAS-AS1 in breast cancer tissues was detected and further validated in a cohort of TNBC tissues. The effects of MIDEAS-AS1 on proliferation, migration, invasion were determined by in vitro and in vivo experiments. RNA pull-down assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were carried out to reveal the interaction between MIDEAS-AS1 and MATR3. Luciferase reporter assay, Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and qRT-PCR were used to evaluate the regulatory effect of MIDEAS-AS1/MATR3 complex on NCALD.

RESULTS

LncRNA MIDEAS-AS1 was significantly downregulated in TNBC, which was correlated with poor overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in TNBC patients. MIDEAS-AS1 overexpression remarkably inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, MIDEAS-AS1 mainly located in the nucleus and interacted with the nuclear protein MATR3. Meanwhile, NCALD was selected as the downstream target, which was transcriptionally regulated by MIDEAS-AS1/MATR3 complex and further inactivated NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, rescue experiment showed that the suppression of cell malignant phenotype caused by MIDEAS-AS1 overexpression could be reversed by inhibition of NCALD.

CONCLUSIONS

Collectively, our results demonstrate that MIDEAS-AS1 serves as a tumor-suppressor in TNBC through modulating MATR3/NCALD axis, and MIDEAS-AS1 may function as a prognostic biomarker for TNBC.

The long noncoding RNA Charme supervises cardiomyocyte maturation by controlling cell differentiation programs in the developing heart

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as critical regulators of heart physiology and disease, although the studies unveiling their modes of action are still limited to few examples. We recently identified pCharme, a chromatin-associated lncRNA whose functional knockout in mice results in defective myogenesis and morphological remodeling of the cardiac muscle. Here, we combined Cap-Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE), single-cell (sc)RNA sequencing, and whole-mount in situ hybridization analyses to study pCharme cardiac expression. Since the early steps of cardiomyogenesis, we found the lncRNA being specifically restricted to cardiomyocytes, where it assists the formation of specific nuclear condensates containing MATR3, as well as important RNAs for cardiac development. In line with the functional significance of these activities, pCharme ablation in mice results in a delayed maturation of cardiomyocytes, which ultimately leads to morphological alterations of the ventricular myocardium. Since congenital anomalies in myocardium are clinically relevant in humans and predispose patients to major complications, the identification of novel genes controlling cardiac morphology becomes crucial. Our study offers unique insights into a novel lncRNA-mediated regulatory mechanism promoting cardiomyocyte maturation and bears relevance to Charme locus for future theranostic applications.

Distinct biogenesis pathways may have led to functional divergence of the human and Drosophila Arglu1 sisRNA

Stable intronic sequence RNAs (sisRNAs) are stable, long noncoding RNAs containing intronic sequences. While sisRNAs have been found across diverse species, their level of conservation remains poorly understood. Here we report that the biogenesis and functions of a sisRNA transcribed from the highly conserved Arglu1 locus are distinct in human and Drosophila melanogaster. The Arglu1 genes in both species show similar exon-intron structures where the intron 2 is orthologous and positionally conserved. In humans, Arglu1 sisRNA retains the entire intron 2 and promotes host gene splicing. Mechanistically, Arglu1 sisRNA represses the splicing-inhibitory activity of ARGLU1 protein by binding to ARGLU1 protein and promoting its localization to nuclear speckles, away from the Arglu1 gene locus. In contrast, Drosophila dArglu1 sisRNA forms via premature cleavage of intron 2 and represses host gene splicing. This repression occurs through a local accumulation of dARGLU1 protein and inhibition of telescripting by U1 snRNPs at the dArglu1 locus. We propose that distinct biogenesis of positionally conserved Arglu1 sisRNAs in both species may have led to functional divergence.

Methods to Study RNA-Chromatin Interactions

RNA plays a fundamental role in the organization of chromatin as well as the regulation of gene expression. Although the chromatin is pervasively attached by both coding and noncoding RNAs, the impact of these chromatin-associated RNAs (caRNAs) on gene expression and cellular functions and their underlying mechanisms have just begun to be unraveled. One approach to understand the potential mechanism of gene regulation by caRNAs is to identify the caRNA-associated genomic regions. Several groups have developed methods to capture RNA-chromatin interactions in either one RNA vs the whole genome, i.e., "one-to-all" or all RNAs vs the whole genome, i.e., "all-to-all" manner. In this chapter, we discuss several state-of-the-art methods highlighting the principles behind them, the experimental procedures, the advantages and limitations, and their applications. Our goal is to provide an overview and guide to researchers interested in exploring caRNAs using these techniques.

Long Noncoding RNAs in the Pathogenesis of Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance (IR), designated as the blunted response of insulin target tissues to physiological level of insulin, plays crucial roles in the development and progression of diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and other diseases. So far, the distinct mechanism(s) of IR still needs further exploration. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a class of non-protein coding RNA molecules with a length greater than 200 nucleotides. LncRNAs are widely involved in many biological processes including cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. More recently, there has been increasing evidence that lncRNAs participated in the pathogenesis of IR, and the dysregulated lncRNA profile played important roles in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases including obesity, diabetes and NAFLD. For example, the lncRNAs MEG3, H19, MALAT1, GAS5, lncSHGL and several other lncRNAs have been shown to regulate insulin signaling and glucose/lipid metabolism in various tissues. In this review, we briefly introduced the general features of lncRNA and the methods for lncRNA research, and then summarized and discussed the recent advances on the roles and mechanisms of lncRNAs in IR, particularly focused on liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissues.

Advances in endogenous RNA pull-down: A straightforward dextran sulfate-based method enhancing RNA recovery

Detecting RNA/RNA interactions in the context of a given cellular system is crucial to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms that stand beneath each specific RNA molecule. When it comes to non-protein coding RNA (ncRNAs), and especially to long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), the reliability of the RNA purification is dramatically dependent on their abundance. Exogenous methods, in which lncRNAs are in vitro transcribed and incubated with protein extracts or overexpressed by cell transfection, have been extensively used to overcome the problem of abundance. However, although useful to study the contribution of single RNA sub-modules to RNA/protein interactions, these exogenous practices might fail in revealing biologically meaningful contacts occurring in vivo and risk to generate non-physiological artifacts. Therefore, endogenous methods must be preferred, especially for the initial identification of partners specifically interacting with elected RNAs. Here, we apply an endogenous RNA pull-down to lncMN2-203, a neuron-specific lncRNA contributing to the robustness of motor neurons specification, through the interaction with miRNA-466i-5p. We show that both the yield of lncMN2-203 recovery and the specificity of its interaction with the miRNA dramatically increase in the presence of Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS) salt. This new set-up may represent a powerful means for improving the study of RNA-RNA interactions of biological significance, especially for those lncRNAs whose role as microRNA (miRNA) sponges or regulators of mRNA stability was demonstrated.

Oncogenic roles of LINC01234 in various forms of human cancer

Abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays an essential role in various malignant neoplasia. As a newly identified lncRNA, LINC01234 is abnormally expressed in several types of cancers and promotes the development of cancers. Accumulating evidence indicates that overexpression of LINC01234 is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Moreover, LINC01234 modulates many cellular events as a putative proto-oncogene, including proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, cell cycle progression, and EMT. In terms of molecular mechanism, LINC01234 regulates gene expression by acting as ceRNA, participating in signaling pathways, interacting with proteins and other molecules, and encoding polypeptide. It reveals that LINC01234 may serve as a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This review summarizes the expression pattern, biological function, and molecular mechanism of LINC01234 in human cancer and discusses its potential clinical utility.

The Functional Role of Long Non-Coding RNA in Myogenesis and Skeletal Muscle Atrophy

Skeletal muscle is a pivotal organ in humans that maintains locomotion and homeostasis. Muscle atrophy caused by sarcopenia and cachexia, which results in reduced muscle mass and impaired skeletal muscle function, is a serious health condition that decreases life longevity in humans. Recent studies have revealed the molecular mechanisms by which long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate skeletal muscle mass and function through transcriptional regulation, fiber-type switching, and skeletal muscle cell proliferation. In addition, lncRNAs function as natural inhibitors of microRNAs and induce muscle hypertrophy or atrophy. Intriguingly, muscle atrophy modifies the expression of thousands of lncRNAs. Therefore, although their exact functions have not yet been fully elucidated, various novel lncRNAs associated with muscle atrophy have been identified. Here, we comprehensively review recent knowledge on the regulatory roles of lncRNAs in skeletal muscle atrophy. In addition, we discuss the issues and possibilities of targeting lncRNAs as a treatment for skeletal muscle atrophy and muscle wasting disorders in humans.

Targeting HOTAIRM1 Ameliorates Glioblastoma by Disrupting Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation and Serine Metabolism

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2), which catalyzes the conversion of serine to glycine and one-carbon transfer reactions in mitochondria, is significantly upregulated in glioblastoma (GBM). However, the mechanism by which the stability of SHMT2 gene expression is maintained to drive GBM tumorigenesis has not been clarified. Herein, through microarray screening, we identified that HOXA Transcript Antisense RNA, Myeloid-Specific 1 (HOTAIRM1) modulates the SHMT2 level in various GBM cell lines. Serine catabolism and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation activities were decreased by HOTAIRM1 inhibition. Mechanistically, according to our mass spectrometry and eCLIP-seq results, HOTAIRM1 can bind to PTBP1 and IGF2BP2. Furthermore, HOTAIRM1 maintains the stability of SHMT2 by promoting the recognition of an m⁶A site and the interaction of PTBP1/IGF2BP2 with SHMT2 mRNA. The stability of HOTAIRM1 can also be enhanced and results in positive feedback regulation to support the progression of GBM. Thus, targeting HOTAIRM1 could be a promising metabolic therapy for GBM.

•

HOTAIRM1 regulates mitochondrial activity in GBM

•

The target genes of HOTAIRM1 and the interacting RBPs were screened and identified

•

SHMT2 mRNA has an m⁶A site that can be recognized by IGF2BP2

•

HOTAIRM1 regulates the stability of SHMT2 by binding to PTBP1 and IGF2BP2

A multifunctional locus controls motor neuron differentiation through short and long noncoding RNAs

The transition from dividing progenitors to postmitotic motor neurons (MNs) is orchestrated by a series of events, which are mainly studied at the transcriptional level by analyzing the activity of specific programming transcription factors. Here, we identify a post‐transcriptional role of a MN‐specific transcriptional unit (MN2) harboring a lncRNA (lncMN2‐203) and two miRNAs (miR‐325‐3p and miR‐384‐5p) in this transition. Through the use of in vitro mESC differentiation and single‐cell sequencing of CRISPR/Cas9 mutants, we demonstrate that lncMN2‐203 affects MN differentiation by sponging miR‐466i‐5p and upregulating its targets, including several factors involved in neuronal differentiation and function. In parallel, miR‐325‐3p and miR‐384‐5p, co‐transcribed with lncMN2‐203, act by repressing proliferation‐related factors. These findings indicate the functional relevance of the MN2 locus and exemplify additional layers of specificity regulation in MN differentiation.

Targeting the Expression of Long Noncoding RNAs in Murine Satellite Cells from Single Myofibers

LncRNAs have been recently implicated in the epigenetic control of muscle differentiation and their functional characterization has traditionally relied upon in vitro models of myogenic differentiation. However, the use of experimental paradigms to specifically target lncRNAs expression in muscle stem cells (MuSCs), also known as satellite cells, represents an important requisite to interrogate their function in more physiological contexts. Since isolation and culture of single myofibers preserves satellite cells within their physiological niche underneath the surrounding basal lamina, this procedure represents the optimal approach to follow satellite cell dynamics ex-vivo, such as activation from quiescence, expansion of committed progenitors, differentiation, and self-renewal. Here, we detail an optimized protocol to isolate viable single myofibers from the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) skeletal muscle of adult mice and to manipulate the expression of lncRNAs by antisense LNA GapmeRs-mediated knock-down (KD). Furthermore, we describe a method of EdU incorporation that, coupled to lncRNA KD and subsequent immunofluorescence analysis of proliferating, differentiating, and satellite cell-specific markers, permits the inference of lncRNAs function on muscle stem cells dynamics. Graphic abstract: Graphical representation of the single myofiber isolation method. Experimental workflow showing the main steps of the protocol procedure: EDL muscle harvesting from the mouse hindlimb; EDL digestion into single myofibers; transfection with antisense oligos and culture for 96h; immunofluorescence protocol and image outcome.

Emerging Roles of Repetitive and Repeat-Containing RNA in Nuclear and Chromatin Organization and Gene Expression

Genomic repeats have been intensely studied as regulatory elements controlling gene transcription, splicing and genome architecture. Our understanding of the role of the repetitive RNA such as the RNA coming from genomic repeats, or repetitive sequences embedded in mRNA/lncRNAs, in nuclear and cellular functions is instead still limited. In this review we discuss evidence supporting the multifaceted roles of repetitive RNA and RNA binding proteins in nuclear organization, gene regulation, and in the formation of dynamic membrane-less aggregates. We hope that our review will further stimulate research in the consolidating field of repetitive RNA biology.

Muscle Regeneration and RNA: New Perspectives for Ancient Molecules

The ability of the ribonucleic acid (RNA) to self-replicate, combined with a unique cocktail of chemical properties, suggested the existence of an RNA world at the origin of life. Nowadays, this hypothesis is supported by innovative high-throughput and biochemical approaches, which definitively revealed the essential contribution of RNA-mediated mechanisms to the regulation of fundamental processes of life. With the recent development of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccines, the potential of RNA as a therapeutic tool has received public attention. Due to its intrinsic single-stranded nature and the ease with which it is synthesized in vitro, RNA indeed represents the most suitable tool for the development of drugs encompassing every type of human pathology. The maximum effectiveness and biochemical versatility is achieved in the guise of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are emerging as multifaceted regulators of tissue specification and homeostasis. Here, we report examples of coding and ncRNAs involved in muscle regeneration and discuss their potential as therapeutic tools. Small ncRNAs, such as miRNA and siRNA, have been successfully applied in the treatment of several diseases. The use of longer molecules, such as lncRNA and circRNA, is less advanced. However, based on the peculiar properties discussed below, they represent an innovative pool of RNA biomarkers and possible targets of clinical value.

Epigenetic regulation of Wnt7b expression by the cis-acting long noncoding RNA Lnc-Rewind in muscle stem cells

Skeletal muscle possesses an outstanding capacity to regenerate upon injury due to the adult muscle stem cell (MuSC) activity. This ability requires the proper balance between MuSC expansion and differentiation, which is critical for muscle homeostasis and contributes, if deregulated, to muscle diseases. Here, we functionally characterize a novel chromatin-associated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), Lnc-Rewind, which is expressed in murine MuSCs and conserved in human. We find that, in mouse, Lnc-Rewind acts as an epigenetic regulator of MuSC proliferation and expansion by influencing the expression of skeletal muscle genes and several components of the WNT (Wingless-INT) signalling pathway. Among them, we identified the nearby Wnt7b gene as a direct Lnc-Rewind target. We show that Lnc-Rewind interacts with the G9a histone lysine methyltransferase and mediates the in cis repression of Wnt7b by H3K9me2 deposition. Overall, these findings provide novel insights into the epigenetic regulation of adult muscle stem cells fate by lncRNAs.
