Abstract
1. The development of chicken skeletal muscle is directly relevant to poultry husbandry production. Numerous studies have suggested that circular RNA play pivotal roles in muscle development. However, the functions and mechanisms of most circRNA in chicken myogenesis remain largely unknown.2. This study identified a novel circSESN1 based on existing sequencing data and examined its authenticity and subcellular localisation by enzyme digestion and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridisation. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between the expression levels of circSESN1 and the developmental stage of chicken muscle.3. Mechanistically, knockdown or overexpression of circSESN1 was performed in primary myoblasts to validate its function. The interactions between circSESN1, miR-16-5p, and the target gene sestrin 1 (SESN1) were investigated using bioinformatics analysis and a dual fluorescein reporter system. Real-time qPCR, a cell proliferation assay, and immunofluorescence staining techniques were used to investigate the promotion effect of circSESN1 on myoblast proliferation and differentiation by miR-16-5p/SESN1 pathway.4. The results demonstrated that the newly identified chicken circSESN1 directly sponges gga-miR-16-5p to regulate SESN1 gene expression, promoting myoblast proliferation and differentiation.

Novel Candidate Genes Involved in an Initial Stage of White Striping Development in Broiler Chickens. Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:2379. [PMID: 39199913 PMCID: PMC11350825 DOI: 10.3390/ani14162379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
White striping (WS) is a myopathy characterized by the appearance of white stripes parallel to the muscle fibers in the breast of broiler chickens, composed of adipose and connective tissues. This condition causes economic losses and, although common, its etiology remains poorly understood. Hence, the objective was to identify genes and biological mechanisms involved in the early stages of WS using a paternal broiler line that grows slightly slower than commercial ones, at 35 days of age, through the RNA sequencing of the pectoralis major muscle. Thirty genes were differentially expressed between normal and WS-affected chickens, with 23 upregulated and 7 downregulated in the affected broilers. Of these, 14 genes are novel candidates for WS and are implicated in biological processes related to muscle development (CEPBD, DUSP8, METTL21EP, NELL2, and UBE3D), lipid metabolism (PDK4, DDIT4, FKBP5, DGAT2, LIPG, TDH, and RGCC), and collagen (COL4A5 and COL4A6). Genes related to changes in muscle fiber type and the processes of apoptosis, autophagy, proliferation, and differentiation are possibly involved with the initial stage of WS development. In contrast, the genes linked to lipid metabolism and collagen may have their expression altered due to the progression of the myopathy.

Abstract
CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 3 (CMTM3), a member of the CMTM family that is closely related to tumor occurrence and progression, plays crucial roles in the immune system, cardiovascular system, and male reproductive system. Recently, CMTM3 has emerged as a potential target for treating diseases related to bone formation. However, additional studies are needed to understand the mechanisms by which CMTM3 regulates the process of osteogenic differentiation. In this study, we observed a significant downregulation of Cmtm3 expression during the transdifferentiation of C2C12 myoblasts into osteoblasts induced by BMP4. Cmtm3 overexpression suppressed proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in BMP4-induced C2C12 cells, whereas its knockdown conversely facilitated the process. Mechanistically, Cmtm3 overexpression upregulated both the protein and mRNA levels of p53 and p21. Conversely, Cmtm3 knockdown exerted the opposite effects. Additionally, we found that Cmtm3 interacts with p53 and increases protein stability by inhibiting proteasome-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. Notably, Trp53 downregulation abrogated the inhibitory effect of Cmtm3 on BMP4-induced proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. Collectively, our findings provide key insights into the role of CMTM3 in regulating myoblast proliferation and transdifferentiation into osteoblasts, highlighting its significance in osteogenesis research.

Abstract
1. Skeletal muscle is an important component of chicken carcass. In chickens, the number of muscle fibres is fixed during the embryonic period, and muscle development during the embryonic period determines the muscle development potential after hatching.2. Beijing-You (BY) and Cornish (CN) chickens show completely different growth rates and body types, and two breeds were used in this study to explore the role of lncRNAs in muscle development during different chicken embryonic periods. A systematic analysis of lncRNAs and mRNAs were conducted in the pectoral muscle tissues of BY and CN chickens at embryonic days 11 (ED11), 13 (ED13), 15 (ED15), 17 (ED17), and 1-day-old (D1) using RNA-seq. A total of 4,104 differentially expressed transcripts (DETs) were identified among the five stages, including 2,359 lncRNAs and 1,745 mRNAs.3. The number of DETs between the two breeds at ED17 (1,658 lncRNAs and 1,016 mRNAs) was much higher than the total number of DET at all the other stages (692 lncRNAs and 729 mRNAs), indicating that the two breeds show the largest difference in gene regulation at ED17.4. Correlation analysis was performed for all differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs during the five periods. Forty-three, cis interaction pairs of lncRNA-mRNA related to chicken muscle development were predicted. The expression of four pairs was verified, and the results showed MSTRG.12395.2-FGFBP2 and MSTRG.18590.6-FMOD were significantly up-regulated in CN at ED11 compared to BY and might be important candidate genes for embryonic muscle development.

Abstract
The development of pig skeletal muscle is a complex dynamic regulation process, which mainly includes the formation of primary and secondary muscle fibers, the remodeling of muscle fibers, and the maturation of skeletal muscle; However, the regulatory mechanism of the entire developmental process remains unclear. This study analyzed the whole-transcriptome data of skeletal muscles at 27 developmental nodes (E33-D180) in Landrace pigs, and their key regulatory factors in the development process were identified using the bioinformatics method. Firstly, we constructed a transcriptome expression map of skeletal muscle development from embryo to adulthood in Landrace pig. Subsequently, due to drastic change in gene expression, the perinatal periods including E105, D0 and D9, were focused, and the genes related to the process of muscle fiber remodeling and volume expansion were revealed. Then, though conjoint analysis with miRNA and lncRNA transcripts, a ceRNA network were identified, which consist of 11 key regulatory genes (such as CHAC1, RTN4IP1 and SESN1), 7 miRNAs and 43 lncRNAs, and they potentially play an important role in the process of muscle fiber differentiation, muscle fiber remodeling and volume expansion, intramuscular fat deposition, and other skeletal muscle developmental events. In summary, we reveal candidate genes and underlying molecular regulatory networks associated with perinatal skeletal muscle fiber type remodeling and expansion. These data provide new insights into the molecular regulation of mammalian skeletal muscle development and diversity.

Abstract
Introduction: Breast cancer represents the most prevalent malignancy among women. Recent advancements in translational research have focused on the identification of novel biomarkers capable of providing valuable insights into patient outcomes. Furthermore, comprehensive investigations aimed at discovering novel miRNAs, unraveling their biological functions, and deciphering their target genes have significantly contributed to our understanding of the roles miRNAs play in tumorigenesis. Consequently, these investigations have facilitated the way for the development of miRNA-based approaches for breast cancer prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment. However, conducting a more extensive array of studies, particularly among diverse ethnic groups, is imperative to expand the scope of research and validate the significance of miRNAs. This study aimed to assess the expression patterns of circulating miRNAs in plasma as a prospective biomarker for breast cancer patients within a population primarily consisting of individuals from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. Methods: We evaluated 49 patients with breast cancer compared to 44 healthy women. Results and discussion: All miRNAs analyzed in the plasma of patients with breast cancer were downregulated. ROC curve analysis of miR-21 (AUC = 0.798, 95% CI: 0.682-0.914, p <0.0001), miR-1 (AUC = 0.742, 95% CI: 0.576-0.909, p = 0.004), miR-16 (AUC = 0.721, 95% CI: 0.581-0.861, p = 0.002) and miR-195 (AUC = 0.672, 95% CI: 0.553-0.792, p = 0.004) showed better diagnostic accuracy in discrimination of breast cancer patients in comparison with healthy women. miR-210, miR-21 showed the highest specificities values (97.3%, 94.1%, respectively). Following, miR-10b and miR-195 showed the highest sensitivity values (89.3%, and 77.8%, respectively). The panel with a combination of four miRNAs (miR-195 + miR-210 + miR-21 + miR-16) had an AUC of 0.898 (0.765-0.970), a sensitivity of 71.4%, and a specificity of 100.0%. Collectively, our results highlight the miRNA combination in panels drastically improves the results and showed high accuracy for the diagnosis of breast cancer displaying good sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carcass traits are crucial indicators of meat production efficiency. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms associated with these traits remain unclear. RESULTS In this study, we conducted comprehensive transcriptomic and genomic analyses on 399 Tiannong partridge chickens to identify key genes and variants associated with carcass traits and to elucidate the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Based on association analyses with the elastic net (EN) model, we identified 12 candidate genes (AMY1A, AP3B2, CEBPG, EEF2, EIF4EBP1, FGFR1, FOXD3, GOLM1, LOC107052698, PABPC1, SERPINB6 and TBC1D16) for 4 carcass-related traits, namely live weight, dressed weight, eviscerated weight, and breast muscle weight. SERPINB6 was identified as the only overlapping gene by 3 analyses, EN model analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis and differential expression analysis. Cell-level experiments confirmed that SERPINB6 promotes the proliferation of chicken DF1 cells and primary myoblasts. Further expression genome-wide association study and association analysis indicated that rs317934171 is the critical site that enhances SERPINB6 expression. Furthermore, a dual-luciferase reporter assay proved that gga-miR-1615 targets the 3'UTR of SERPINB6. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our findings reveal that SERPINB6 serves as a novel gene for chicken carcass traits by promoting fibroblast and myoblast proliferation. Additionally, the downstream variant rs317934171 regulates SERPINB6 expression. These results identify a new target gene and molecular marker for the molecular mechanisms of chicken carcass traits.

Abstract
Myoblast proliferation and differentiation are essential for skeletal muscle development. In this study, we generated the expression profiles of mRNAs, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) in different developmental stages of chicken primary myoblasts (CPMs) using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology. The dual luciferase reporter system was performed using chicken embryonic fibroblast cells (DF-1), and functional studies quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), flow cytometry cycle, RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH), immunofluorescence, and western blotting assay. Our research demonstrated that miR-301a-5p had a targeted binding ability to lncMDP1 and ChaC glutathione-specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 1 (CHAC1). The results revealed that lncMDP1 regulated the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts via regulating the miR-301a-5p/CHAC1 axis, and CHAC1 promotes muscle regeneration. This study fulfilled the molecular regulatory network of skeletal muscle development and providing an important theoretical reference for the future improvement of chicken meat performance and meat quality.

Abstract
The progression of muscle development is a pivotal aspect of animal ontogenesis, where miRNA and mRNA exert substantial influence as prominent players. It is important to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in skeletal muscle development to enhance the quality and yield of meat produced by Leizhou goats. We employed RNA sequencing (RNA-SEQ) technology to generate miRNA-mRNA profiles in Leizhou goats, capturing their developmental progression at 0, 3, and 6 months of age. A total of 977 mRNAs and 174 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed based on our analysis. Metabolic pathways, calcium signaling pathways, and amino acid synthesis and metabolism were found to be significantly enriched among the differentially expressed mRNA in the enrichment analysis. Meanwhile, we found that among these differentially expressed mRNA, some may be related to muscle development, such as MYL10, RYR3, and CSRP3. Additionally,, we identified five muscle-specific miRNAs (miR-127-3p, miR-133a-3p, miR-193b-3p, miR-365-3p, and miR-381) that consistently exhibited high expression levels across all three stages. These miRNAs work with their target genes (FHL3, SESN1, PACSIN3, LMCD1) to regulate muscle development. Taken together, our findings suggest that several miRNAs and mRNAs are involved in regulating muscle development and cell growth in goats. By uncovering the molecular mechanisms involved in muscle growth and development, these findings contribute valuable knowledge that can inform breeding strategies aimed at enhancing meat yield and quality in Leizhou goats.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn)-induced pulmonary toxicity and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely enigmatic. Further, in recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as regulators of several pollutants-mediated toxicity. In this context, our study aimed at elucidating whether miRNAs are involved in manganese (II) chloride (MnCl2) (Mn2+)-induced cytotoxicity in lung epithelial cells. Growth inhibition of Mn2+ towards normal human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) and adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial (A549) cells was analyzed by MTT assay following 24 or 48 h treatment. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry. RT-qPCR and Western blot were performed to analyze the expression of cyclins, anti-oxidant genes, and miRNAs. We used small RNA sequencing to investigate Mn2+-induced changes in miRNA expression patterns. In both cell lines, Mn2+ treatment inhibited growth in a dose-dependent manner. Further, compared with vehicle-treated cells, Mn2+ (250 μM) treatment induced ROS generation, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and decreased ΔΨm as well as altered the expression of cyclins and anti-oxidant genes. Sequencing data revealed that totally 296 miRNAs were differentially expressed in Mn2+-treated cells. Among them, miR-221-3p was one of the topmost down-regulated miRNAs in Mn2+-treated cells. We further confirmed this association in A549 cells. In addition, transient transfection was performed to study gain-of-function experiments. Forced expression of miR-221-3p significantly improved cell viability and reduced Mn2+-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in BEAS-2B cells. In conclusion, miR-221-3p may be the most likely target that accounts for the cytotoxicity of Mn2+-exposed lung epithelial cells.

Single-cell RNA-seq data analysis reveals functionally relevant biomarkers of early brain development and their regulatory footprints in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).

Abstract
The complicated process of neuronal development is initiated early in life, with the genetic mechanisms governing this process yet to be fully elucidated. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a potent instrument for pinpointing biomarkers that exhibit differential expression across various cell types and developmental stages. By employing scRNA-seq on human embryonic stem cells, we aim to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) crucial for early-stage neuronal development. Our focus extends beyond simply identifying DEGs. We strive to investigate the functional roles of these genes through enrichment analysis and construct gene regulatory networks to understand their interactions. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach aspires to illuminate the molecular mechanisms and transcriptional dynamics governing early human brain development. By uncovering potential links between these DEGs and intelligence, mental disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders, we hope to shed light on human neurological health and disease. In this study, we have used scRNA-seq to identify DEGs involved in early-stage neuronal development in hESCs. The scRNA-seq data, collected on days 26 (D26) and 54 (D54), of the in vitro differentiation of hESCs to neurons were analyzed. Our analysis identified 539 DEGs between D26 and D54. Functional enrichment of those DEG biomarkers indicated that the up-regulated DEGs participated in neurogenesis, while the down-regulated DEGs were linked to synapse regulation. The Reactome pathway analysis revealed that down-regulated DEGs were involved in the interactions between proteins located in synapse pathways. We also discovered interactions between DEGs and miRNA, transcriptional factors (TFs) and DEGs, and between TF and miRNA. Our study identified 20 significant transcription factors, shedding light on early brain development genetics. The identified DEGs and gene regulatory networks are valuable resources for future research into human brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
During myogenesis and regeneration, the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts play key regulatory roles and may be regulated by many genes. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptomic data of chicken primary myoblasts at different periods of proliferation and differentiation with protein‒protein interaction network, and the results indicated that there was an interaction between cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) and ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2). Previous studies in mammals have a role for RRM2 in skeletal muscle development as well as cell growth, but the role of RRM2 in chicken is unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of RRM2 on skeletal muscle development and regeneration in chickens in vitro and in vivo. The interaction between RRM2 and CDK1 was initially identified by co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. Through a dual luciferase reporter assay and quantitative real-time PCR, we identified the core promoter region of RRM2, which is regulated by the SP1 transcription factor. In this study, through cell counting kit-8 assays, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation assays, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot analysis, we demonstrated that RRM2 promoted the proliferation and inhibited the differentiation of myoblasts. In vivo studies showed that RRM2 reduced the diameter of muscle fibers and slowed skeletal muscle regeneration. In conclusion, these data provide preliminary insights into the biological functions of RRM2 in chicken muscle development and skeletal muscle regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletal muscle development is pivotal for animal growth and health. Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to interact with chromatin through diverse roles. However, little is known about how lncRNAs act as chromatin-associated RNAs to regulate skeletal muscle development. Here, we aim to investigate the regulation of chromatin-associated RNA (MYH1G-AS) during skeletal muscle development. METHODS We provided comprehensive insight into the RNA profile and chromatin accessibility of different myofibers, combining RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq). The dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay were used to analyze the transcriptional regulation mechanism of MYH1G-AS. ALKBH5-mediated MYH1G-AS N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylation was assessed by a single-base elongation and ligation-based qPCR amplification method (SELECT) assay. Functions of MYH1G-AS were investigated through a primary myoblast and lentivirus/cholesterol-modified antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated animal model. To validate the interaction of MYH1G-AS with fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) protein, RNA pull down and an RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were performed. Specifically, the interaction between FGF18 and SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A member 5 (SMARCA5) protein was analyzed by coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and a yeast two-hybrid assay. RESULTS A total of 45 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs, with DE ATAC-seq peaks in their promoter region, were classified as open chromatin-associated lncRNAs. A skeletal muscle-specific lncRNA (MSTRG.15576.9; MYH1G-AS), which is one of the open chromatin-associated lncRNA, was identified. MYH1G-AS transcription is coordinately regulated by transcription factors (TF) SMAD3 and SP2. Moreover, SP2 represses ALKBH5 transcription to weaken ALKBH5-mediated m6A demethylation of MYH1G-AS, thus destroying MYH1G-AS RNA stability. MYH1G-AS accelerates myoblast proliferation but restrains myoblast differentiation. Moreover, MYH1G-AS drives a switch from slow-twitch to fast-twitch fibers and causes muscle atrophy. Mechanistically, MYH1G-AS inhibits FGF18 protein stabilization to reduce the interaction of FGF18 to SMARCA5, thus repressing chromatin accessibility of the SMAD4 promoter to activate the SMAD4-dependent pathway. CONCLUSIONS Our results reveal a new pattern of the regulation of lncRNA expression at diverse levels and help expound the regulation of m6A methylation on chromatin status.

Abstract
The meat production of broilers is crucial to economic benefits of broiler industries, while the slaughter performance of broilers is directly determined by skeletal muscle development. Hence, the broiler breeding for growth traits shows a great importance. As a kind of small noncoding RNA, microRNA (miRNA) can regulate the expression of multiple genes and perform a wide range of regulation in organisms. Currently, more and more studies have confirmed that miRNAs are closely associated with skeletal muscle development of chickens. Based on our previous miR-seq analysis (accession number: PRJNA668199), miR-460b-5p was screened as one of the key miRNAs probably involved in the growth regulation of chickens. However, the regulatory effect of miR-460b-5p on the development of chicken skeletal muscles is still unclear. Therefore, miR-460b-5p was further used for functional validation at the cellular level in this study. The expression pattern of miR-460b-5p was investigated in proliferation and differentiation stages of chicken primary myoblasts. It was showed that the expression level of miR-460b-5p gradually decreased from the proliferation stage (GM 50%) to the lowest at 24 h of differentiation. As differentiation proceeded, miR-460b-5p expression increased significantly, reaching the highest and stabilizing at 72 h and 96 h of differentiation. Through mRNA quantitative analysis of proliferation marker genes, CCK-8 and Edu assays, miR-460b-5p was found to significantly facilitate the transition of myoblasts from G1 to S phase and promote chicken myoblast proliferation. mRNA and protein quantitative analysis of differentiation marker genes, as well as the indirect immunofluorescence results of myotubes, revealed that miR-460b-5p significantly stimulated myotube development and promote chicken myoblast differentiation. In addition, the target relationship was validated for miR-460b-5p according to the dual-luciferase reporter assay and mRNA quantitative analysis, which indicates that miR-460b-5p was able to regulate RBM19 expression by specifically binding to the 3' UTR of RBM19. In summary, miR-460b-5p has positive regulatory effects on the proliferation and differentiation of chicken myoblasts, and RBM19 is a target gene of miR-460b-5p.

Abstract
Satellite cells are bona fide muscle stem cells that are indispensable for successful post-natal muscle growth and regeneration after severe injury. These cells also participate in adult muscle adaptation in several capacities. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of mRNA that are implicated in several aspects of stem cell function. There is evidence to suggest that miRNAs affect satellite cell behavior in vivo during development and myogenic progenitor behavior in vitro, but the role of miRNAs in adult skeletal muscle satellite cells is less studied. In this review, we provide evidence for how miRNAs control satellite cell function with emphasis on satellite cells of adult skeletal muscle in vivo. We first outline how miRNAs are indispensable for satellite cell viability and control the phases of myogenesis. Next, we discuss the interplay between miRNAs and myogenic cell redox status, senescence, and communication to other muscle-resident cells during muscle adaptation. Results from recent satellite cell miRNA profiling studies are also summarized. In vitro experiments in primary myogenic cells and cell lines have been invaluable for exploring the influence of miRNAs, but we identify a need for novel genetic tools to further interrogate how miRNAs control satellite cell behavior in adult skeletal muscle in vivo.

Abstract
Introduction The cultured Lota lota can meet the market demand in the context of the decline of wild resources, but the disease in the high-density culture process also deserves attention. Therefore, understanding the immune regulation mechanisms of L. lota will be the basis for obtaining high benefits in artificial culture. Methods To explore the viral response mechanism of L. lota, RNA-seq was applied to identify the transcriptomic changes of the liver and spleen in L. lota by poly (I:C) stress. Results The DEGs (liver: 2186 to 3123; spleen 1542 to 2622) and up-regulated genes (liver: 1231 to 1776; spleen 769 to 1502) in the liver and spleen increased with the prolongation (12h to 48h) of poly (I:C)-stimulation time. This means L. lota needs to mobilize more functional genes in response to longer periods of poly (I:C)-stimulation. Despite the responses of L. lota to poly (I:C) showed tissue-specificity, we hypothesized that both liver and spleen of L. lota can respond to poly (I:C) challenge may be through promoting apoptosis of DNA-damaged cells, increasing the activity of immune-enhancing enzymes, and increasing energy supply based on DEGs annotation information. Conclusions Our results demonstrate the transcriptional responses of L. lota to poly (I:C)-stimulation, and these data provide the first resource on the genetic regulation mechanisms of L. lota against viruses. Furthermore, the present study can provide basic information for the prevention of viral diseases in L. lota artificial culture process.

Mitochondrial Apoptotic Signaling Involvement in Remodeling During Myogenesis and Skeletal Muscle Atrophy. Semin Cell Dev Biol 2023; 143:66-74.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a major role in apoptotic signaling. In addition to its role in eliminating dysfunctional cells, mitochondrial apoptotic signaling is implicated as a key component of myogenic differentiation and skeletal muscle atrophy. For example, the activation of cysteine-aspartic proteases (caspases; CASP's) can aid in the initial remodeling stages of myogenic differentiation by cleaving protein kinases, transcription factors, and cytoskeletal proteins. Precise regulation of these signals is needed to prevent excessive cell disassemble and subsequent cell death. During skeletal muscle atrophy, the activation of CASP's and mitochondrial derived nucleases participate in myonuclear fragmentation, a potential loss of myonuclei, and cleavage of contractile structures within skeletal muscle. The B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (BCL2) family of proteins play a significant role in regulating myogenesis and skeletal muscle atrophy by governing the initiating steps of mitochondrial apoptotic signaling. This review discusses the role of mitochondrial apoptotic signaling in skeletal muscle remodeling during myogenic differentiation and skeletal muscle pathological states, including aging, disuse, and muscular dystrophy.

Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:1213. [PMID: 37372393 DOI: 10.3390/genes14061213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Skeletal muscle growth and development from embryo to adult consists of a series of carefully regulated changes in gene expression. This study aimed to identify candidate genes involved in Haiyang Yellow Chickens' growth and to understand the regulatory role of the key gene ALOX5 (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase) in myoblast proliferation and differentiation. In order to search the key candidate genes in the process of muscle growth and development, RNA sequencing was used to compare the transcriptomes of chicken muscle tissues at four developmental stages and to analyze the effects of ALOX5 gene interference and overexpression on myoblast proliferation and differentiation at the cellular level. The results showed that 5743 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (|fold change| ≥ 2; FDR ≤ 0.05) were detected by pairwise comparison in male chickens. Functional analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly involved in the processes of cell proliferation, growth, and developmental process. Many of the DEGs, such as MYOCD (Myocardin), MUSTN1 (Musculoskeletal Embryonic Nuclear Protein 1), MYOG (MYOGenin), MYOD1 (MYOGenic differentiation 1), FGF8 (fibroblast growth factor 8), FGF9 (fibroblast growth factor 9), and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1), were related to chicken growth and development. KEGG pathway (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway) analysis showed that the DEGs were significantly enriched in two pathways related to growth and development: ECM-receptor interaction (Extracellular Matrix) and MAPK signaling pathway (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase). With the extension of differentiation time, the expression of the ALOX5 gene showed an increasing trend, and it was found that interference with the ALOX5 gene could inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts and that overexpression of the ALOX5 gene could promote the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts. This study identified a range of genes and several pathways that may be involved in regulating early growth, and it can provide theoretical research for understanding the regulation mechanism of muscle growth and development of Haiyang Yellow Chickens.

Abstract
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MM) is a highly aggressive and lethal cancer with a poor survival rate. Current treatment approaches primarily rely on chemotherapy and radiation, but their effectiveness is limited. Consequently, there is an urgent need for alternative treatment strategies, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying MM, and the identification of potential therapeutic targets. Extensive studies over the past decade have emphasized the role of Axl in driving tumor development and metastasis, while high levels of Axl expression have been associated with immune evasion, drug resistance, and reduced patient survival in various cancer types. Ongoing clinical trials are investigating the efficacy of Axl inhibitors for different cancers. However, the precise role of Axl in MM progression, development, and metastasis, as well as its regulatory mechanisms within MM, remain inadequately understood. This review aims to comprehensively investigate the involvement of Axl in MM. We discuss Axl role in MM progression, development, and metastasis, along with its specific regulatory mechanisms. Additionally, we examined the Axl associated signaling pathways, the relationship between Axl and immune evasion, and the clinical implications of Axl for MM treatment. Furthermore, we discussed the potential utility of liquid biopsy as a non-invasive diagnostic technique for early detection of Axl in MM. Lastly, we evaluated the potential of a microRNA signature that targets Axl. By consolidating existing knowledge and identifying research gaps, this review contributes to a better understanding of Axl's role in MM and sets the stage for future investigations and the development of effective therapeutic interventions.

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2023; 324:C1101-C1109. [PMID: 36971422 PMCID: PMC10191132 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00071.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRs) control stem cell biology and fate. Ubiquitously expressed and conserved miR-16 was the first miR implicated in tumorigenesis. miR-16 is low in muscle during developmental hypertrophy and regeneration. It is enriched in proliferating myogenic progenitor cells but is repressed during differentiation. The induction of miR-16 blocks myoblast differentiation and myotube formation, whereas knockdown enhances these processes. Despite a central role for miR-16 in myogenic cell biology, how it mediates its potent effects is incompletely defined. In this investigation, global transcriptomic and proteomic analyses after miR-16 knockdown in proliferating C2C12 myoblasts revealed how miR-16 influences myogenic cell fate. Eighteen hours after miR-16 inhibition, ribosomal protein gene expression levels were higher relative to control myoblasts and p53 pathway-related gene abundance was lower. At the protein level at this same time point, miR-16 knockdown globally upregulated tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle proteins while downregulating RNA metabolism-related proteins. miR-16 inhibition induced specific proteins associated with myogenic differentiation such as ACTA2, EEF1A2, and OPA1. We extend prior work in hypertrophic muscle tissue and show that miR-16 is lower in mechanically overloaded muscle in vivo. Our data collectively point to how miR-16 is implicated in aspects of myogenic cell differentiation. A deeper understanding of the role of miR-16 in myogenic cells has consequences for muscle developmental growth, exercise-induced hypertrophy, and regenerative repair after injury, all of which involve myogenic progenitors.

Malathion alters the transcription of target genes of the tumour suppressor tp53 and cancerous processes in Colossoma macropomum: Mechanisms of DNA damage response, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Chem Biol Interact 2023; 374:110405.

Abstract
Different classes of pesticides such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides, can induce differential expression of genes that are involved in tumorigenesis events in fish, including the expression of tumor suppressor tp53. The degree and duration of the stressful condition is decisive in defining which tp53-dependent pathway will be activated. Herein we evaluate the target genes expression that participates in the regulation pathway of the tumor suppressor tp53 and in the cancerous processes in tambaqui after exposure to malathion. Our hypothesis is that malathion promotes a gene response that is differentially regulated over time, with positive regulation of tp53 target genes related to the apoptotic pathway and a negative regulation of genes that promote antioxidant responses. The fish were exposed to a sublethal concentration of the insecticide for 6 and 48 h. Liver samples were used to analyze the expression of 11 genes using real-time PCR. Overall, the malathion promoted over time increases in tp53 expression and differential expression of tp53 related genes. The exposure resulted in the activation of damage response related genes, caused a positive expression of atm/atr genes. The pro-apoptotic gene bax was up-regulated and the anti-apoptotic bcl2 was down-regulated. Increased expression of mdm2 and sesn1 in the first hours of exposure and no effect on the antioxidant genes sod2 and gpx1 were also observed. We also witnessed an increase in the expression of the hif-1α gene, with no effect on ras proto-oncogene. The extension of this stressful condition accentuated tp53 transcription, and minimized the levels of mdm2, sens1 and bax; however, it down regulated the levels of bcl2 and the bcl2/bax ratio, which indicates the maintenance of the apoptotic response to the detriment of an antioxidant response.

Abstract
CircRNAs are newly identified special endogenous RNA molecules that covalently close a loop by back-splicing with pre-mRNA. In the cytoplasm, circRNAs would act as molecular sponges to bind with specific miRNA to promote the expression of target genes. However, knowledge of circRNA functional alternation in skeletal myogenesis is still in its infancy. In this study, we identified a circRNA–miRNA–mRNA interaction network in which the axis may be implicated in the progression of chicken primary myoblasts’ (CPMs) myogenesis by multi-omics (i.e., circRNA-seq and ribo-seq). In total, 314 circRNA–miRNA–mRNA regulatory axes containing 66 circRNAs, 70 miRNAs, and 24 mRNAs that may be relevant to myogenesis were collected. With these, the circPLXNA2-gga-miR-12207-5P-MDM4 axis aroused our research interest. The circPLXNA2 is highly differentially expressed during differentiation versus proliferation. It was demonstrated that circPLXNA2 inhibited the process of apoptosis while at the same time stimulating cell proliferation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that circPLXNA2 could inhibit the repression of gga-miR-12207-5p to MDM4 by directing binding to gga-miR-12207-5p, thereby restoring MDM4 expression. In conclusion, circPLXNA2 could function as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to recover the function of MDM4 by directing binding to gga-miR-12207-5p, thereby regulating the myogenesis.

Abstract
A growing number of studies have shown that members of the ankyrin repeat and suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) box-containing protein (ASB) family are extensively involved in biological processes such as cell growth, tissue development, insulin signaling, ubiquitination, protein degradation, and skeletal muscle membrane protein formation, while the specific biological role of ankyrin-repeat and SOCS box protein 9 (ASB9) remains unclear. In this study, a 21 bp indel in the intron of ASB9 was identified for the first time in 2641 individuals from 11 different breeds and an F2 resource population, and differences were observed among individuals with different genotypes (II, ID, and DD). An association study of a cross-designed F2 resource population revealed that the 21-bp indel was significantly related to growth and carcass traits. The significantly associated growth traits were body weight (BW) at 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of age; sternal length (SL) at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of age; body slope length (BSL) at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of age; shank girth (SG) at 4 and 12 weeks of age; tibia length (TL) at 12 weeks of age; and pelvic width (PW) at 4 weeks of age (p < 0.05). This indel was also significantly correlated with carcass traits including semievisceration weight (SEW), evisceration weight (EW), claw weight (CLW), breast muscle weight (BMW), leg weight (LeW), leg muscle weight (LMW), claw rate (CLR), and shedding weight (ShW) (p < 0.05). In commercial broilers, the II genotype was the dominant genotype and underwent extensive selection. Interestingly, the ASB9 gene was expressed at significantly higher levels in the leg muscles of Arbor Acres broilers than those of Lushi chickens, while the opposite was true for the breast muscles. In summary, the 21-bp indel in the ASB9 gene significantly influenced the expression of the ASB9 gene in muscle tissue and was associated with multiple growth and carcass traits in the F2 resource population. These findings suggested that the 21-bp indel within the ASB9 gene could be used in marker-assisted selection breeding for traits related to chicken growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletal muscle is comprised of heterogeneous myofibers that differ in their physiological and metabolic parameters. Of these, slow-twitch (type I; oxidative) myofibers have more myoglobin, more mitochondria, and higher activity of oxidative metabolic enzymes compared to fast-twitch (type II; glycolytic) myofibers. METHODS In our previous study, we found a novel LncRNA-TBP (for "LncRNA directly binds TBP transcription factor") is specifically enriched in the soleus (which has a higher proportion of slow myofibers). The primary myoblast cells and animal model were used to assess the biological function of the LncRNA-TBP in vitro or in vivo. Meanwhile, we performed a RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and pull-down analysis to validate this interaction between LncRNA-TBP and TBP. RESULTS Functional studies demonstrated that LncRNA-TBP inhibits myoblast proliferation but promotes myogenic differentiation in vitro. In vivo, LncRNA-TBP reduces fat deposition, activating slow-twitch muscle phenotype and inducing muscle hypertrophy. Mechanistically, LncRNA-TBP acts as a regulatory RNA that directly interacts with TBP protein to regulate the transcriptional activity of TBP-target genes (such as KLF4, GPI, TNNI2, and CDKN1A). CONCLUSION Our findings present a novel model about the regulation of LncRNA-TBP, which can regulate the transcriptional activity of TBP-target genes by recruiting TBP protein, thus modulating myogenesis progression and inducing slow-twitch fibers.

Evolutionary analysis and functional characterization reveal the role of the insulin-like growth factor system in a diversified selection of chickens (Gallus gallus). Poult Sci 2022; 102:102411. [PMID: 36587453 PMCID: PMC9816805 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2022.102411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays an indispensable role in embryonic and postnatal development in mammals. However, the effects of the system on growth, carcass, and egg-laying traits, and diversified selection have not been systematically studied in chickens. In the present study, firstly the composition and gene structures of the chicken IGF system were investigated using phylogenetic tree and conserved synteny analysis. Then the effects of the genetic variations in the IGF system genes on breeding of specialized varieties were explored by principal component analysis. In addition, the spatiotemporal expression properties of the genes in this system were analyzed by RT-qPCR and the functions of the genes in egg production performance and growth were explored by association study. Moreover, the effects of IGF-binding proteins 3 (IGFBP3) on skeletal muscle development in chicken were investigated by cell cycle analysis, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays. The results showed that the chicken IGF system included 13 members which could be classified into 3 groups based on their amino acid sequences: IGF binding proteins 1 to 5 and 7 (IGFBP1-5 and 7) belonged to the first group; IGF 1 and 2 (IGF1 and IGF2), and IGF 1 and 2 receptor (IGF1R and IGF2R) belonged to the second group; and IGF2 binding proteins 1-3 (IGF2BP1-3) belonged to the third group. The IGF2BP1 and 3, and IGFBP2, 3, and 7 genes likely contributed more to the formation of both the specialized meat-type and egg-type lines, whereas IGFBP1 and 5 likely contributed more to the formation of the egg-type lines. The SNPs in the IGF2BP3 and IGFBP2 and 5 genes were significantly associated with egg number, and SNPs in the IGFBP3 promoter region were significantly associated with body weight, breast muscle weight and leg muscle weight. The IGFBP3 inhibited proliferation but promoted differentiation of chicken primary myoblasts (CPMs). These results provide insights into the roles of the IGF system in the diversified selection of chickens. The SNPs associated with egg-laying performance, growth, and carcass traits could be used as genetic markers for breeding selection of chickens in the future.

Abstract
Pancreatic β cell expansion and functional maturation during the birth-to-weaning period is driven by epigenetic programs primarily triggered by growth factors, hormones, and nutrients provided by human milk. As shown recently, exosomes derived from various origins interact with β cells. This review elucidates the potential role of milk-derived exosomes (MEX) and their microRNAs (miRs) on pancreatic β cell programming during the postnatal period of lactation as well as during continuous cow milk exposure of adult humans to bovine MEX. Mechanistic evidence suggests that MEX miRs stimulate mTORC1/c-MYC-dependent postnatal β cell proliferation and glycolysis, but attenuate β cell differentiation, mitochondrial function, and insulin synthesis and secretion. MEX miR content is negatively affected by maternal obesity, gestational diabetes, psychological stress, caesarean delivery, and is completely absent in infant formula. Weaning-related disappearance of MEX miRs may be the critical event switching β cells from proliferation to TGF-β/AMPK-mediated cell differentiation, whereas continued exposure of adult humans to bovine MEX miRs via intake of pasteurized cow milk may reverse β cell differentiation, promoting β cell de-differentiation. Whereas MEX miR signaling supports postnatal β cell proliferation (diabetes prevention), persistent bovine MEX exposure after the lactation period may de-differentiate β cells back to the postnatal phenotype (diabetes induction).

Abstract
Meat production performance is one of the most important factors in determining the economic value of poultry. Myofiber is the basic unit of skeletal muscle, and its physical and chemical properties determine the meat quality of livestock and poultry to a certain extent. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PPARGC1A) as a transcriptional coactivator has been found to be widely involved in a series of biological processes. However, PPARGC1A is still poorly understood in chickens. In this manuscript, we reported that PPARGC1A was highly expressed in slow-twitch myofibers. PPARGC1A facilitated mitochondrial biogenesis and regulated skeletal muscle metabolism by mediating the flux of glycolysis and the TCA cycle. Gain- and loss-of-function analyses revealed that PPARGC1A promoted intramuscular fatty acid oxidation, drove the transformation of fast-twitch to slow-twitch myofibers, and increased chicken skeletal muscle mass. Mechanistically, the expression level of PPARGC1A is regulated by miR-193b-3p. Our findings help to understand the genetic regulation of skeletal muscle development and provide a molecular basis for further research on the antagonism of skeletal muscle development and fat deposition in chickens.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23179545.

Abstract
Proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis are three essential stages in cell development, and miRNAs can achieve extensive regulation of cellular developmental processes by repressing the expression of target genes. According to our previous RNA-seq results, miRNA-10a-5p was differentially expressed at different periods in chicken myoblasts, revealing a possible association with muscle development. In this study, we concluded that miRNA-10a-5p inhibited chicken myoblasts’ proliferation and differentiation and promoted chicken myoblasts’ apoptosis by directly targeting BCL6, a critical transcription factor involved in muscle development and regeneration. Overexpression of BCL6 significantly facilitated myoblasts’ proliferation and differentiation and suppressed myoblasts’ apoptosis. On the contrary, knockdown of BCL6 significantly repressed myoblasts’ proliferation and differentiation and induced myoblasts’ apoptosis. The results above suggest that miRNA-10a-5p plays a potential role in skeletal muscle growth, development and autophagy by targeting the BCL6 gene. We first revealed the functions of miRNA-10a-5p and BCL6 in the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of chicken myoblasts.

Abstract
1. Myoblast proliferation and differentiation is one of the most important biological processes in the development of skeletal muscle. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in this process.2. In this study, the expression level of miR-181a-5p was detected, which found that miR-181a-5p was expressed differently in different tissues, different embryonic ages, and different differentiation stages of primary myoblasts in Gushi chickens.3. The effect of miR-181a-5p was further investigated on chicken primary myoblasts (CPMs). The results of cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) and cell cycle showed that miR-181a-5p could inhibit the proliferation of CPM. The miR-181a-5p promoted the expression of MYOD, MYOG, and MYHC. MYHC protein immunofluorescence experiments showed that miR-181a-5p increased the area of myotubes.4. In total, 63 potential target genes of mir-181a-5p in mRNA transcriptome data analysis were identified. Functional enrichment analysis was performed on these target genes, and ASNS, SMYD1, and FOS were found to play regulatory roles in biological processes such as muscle development. It was speculated that miR-181a-5p played a role in myoblast development through these genes.5. In conclusion, miR-181a-5p can inhibit the proliferation of chicken myoblasts and promote the differentiation of chicken myoblasts. This study laid the foundation for further research on the regulatory mechanism of miR-181a-5p in the development of skeletal muscle and the formation of excellent meat quality traits in Gushi chicken.

Abstract
Objective To determine the concentrations of four neuroprotein biomarkers and 68 miRNAs in neonates with low cord pH and/or mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Study Design A prospective cohort study enrolled neonates with low cord pH (n = 18), moderate-severe HIE (n = 40), and healthy controls (n = 38). Groups provided serum samples at 0–6 h of life. The concentrations of biomarkers and miRNAs were compared between cohorts. Result The low cord pH and moderate-severe HIE groups had increased concentrations of GFAP, NFL and Tau compared to controls (P < 0.05, P < 0.001, respectively). NFL concentrations in mild HIE was higher than controls (P < 0.05) but less than moderate-severe HIE (P < 0.001). Of 68 miRNAs, 36 in low cord pH group and 40 in moderate-severe HIE were upregulated compared to controls (P < 0.05). Five miRNAs in low cord pH group (P < 0.05) and 3 in moderate-severe HIE were downregulated compared to controls (P < 0.05). Conclusion A biomarker panel in neonates with low cord pH may help clinicians make real-time decisions.

Abstract
Chicken is the most widely consumed meat product worldwide and is a high-quality source of protein for humans. The skeletal muscle, which accounts for the majority of chicken products and contains the most valuable components, is tightly correlated to meat product yield and quality. In domestic chickens, skeletal muscle growth is regulated by a complex network of molecules that includes some non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). As a regulator of muscle growth and development, ncRNAs play a significant function in the development of skeletal muscle in domestic chickens. Recent advances in sequencing technology have contributed to the identification and characterization of more ncRNAs (mainly microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), and circular RNAs (CircRNAs)) involved in the development of domestic chicken skeletal muscle, where they are widely involved in proliferation, differentiation, fusion, and apoptosis of myoblasts and satellite cells, and the specification of muscle fiber type. In this review, we summarize the ncRNAs involved in the skeletal muscle growth and development of domestic chickens and discuss the potential limitations and challenges. It will provide a theoretical foundation for future comprehensive studies on ncRNA participation in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth and development in domestic chickens.

Abstract
Sestrin 1 (SESN1) is a stress-inducible protein that suppresses tumors in numerous cancers. However, the function of SESN1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is not clear and needs to be elucidated. Here, SESN1 expression was downregulated in HNSCC tissues and cell lines, and low SESN1 expression was positively correlated with poor prognosis in patients with HNSCC. Moreover, SESN1 overexpression inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HSC-6 and CAL-33 cells. In addition, the binding relationship between miR-377-3p and SESN1 was confirmed using luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Downregulation of SESN1 expression was consistent with high levels of miR-377-3p in HNSCC tissues. Linear regression analysis of clinical HNSCC tissues revealed a negative correlation between miR-377-3p and SESN1 expression. Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry analysis revealed that SESN1 interacted with SMAD3, and SMAD3 reversed the increased proliferation, migration, and invasion of HSC-6 and CAL-33 cells caused by SESN1 knockdown. In conclusion, these findings provide evidence that SESN1 functions as a tumor suppressor and reveal the miR-377-3p-SESN1-SMAD3 regulatory axis that contributes to proliferation, migration, and invasion in HNSCC development, which may represent an interventional target for HNSCC therapy.

Immunomodulatory Properties of Human Breast Milk: MicroRNA Contents and Potential Epigenetic Effects. Biomedicines 2022; 10:1219. [PMID: 35740242 PMCID: PMC9219990 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10061219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Revised: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Infants who are exclusively breastfed in the first six months of age receive adequate nutrients, achieving optimal immune protection and growth. In addition to the known nutritional components of human breast milk (HBM), i.e., water, carbohydrates, fats and proteins, it is also a rich source of microRNAs, which impact epigenetic mechanisms. This comprehensive work presents an up-to-date overview of the immunomodulatory constituents of HBM, highlighting its content of circulating microRNAs. The epigenetic effects of HBM are discussed, especially those regulated by miRNAs. HBM contains more than 1400 microRNAs. The majority of these microRNAs originate from the lactating gland and are based on the remodeling of cells in the gland during breastfeeding. These miRNAs can affect epigenetic patterns by several mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA regulation, which could ultimately result in alterations in gene expressions. Therefore, the unique microRNA profile of HBM, including exosomal microRNAs, is implicated in the regulation of the genes responsible for a variety of immunological and physiological functions, such as FTO, INS, IGF1, NRF2, GLUT1 and FOXP3 genes. Hence, studying the HBM miRNA composition is important for improving the nutritional approaches for pregnancy and infant's early life and preventing diseases that could occur in the future. Interestingly, the composition of miRNAs in HBM is affected by multiple factors, including diet, environmental and genetic factors.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is the largest metabolic organ in the body, and its metabolic flexibility is essential for maintaining systemic energy homeostasis. Metabolic inflexibility in muscles is a dominant cause of various metabolic disorders, impeding muscle development. In our previous study, we found lncRNA ZFP36L2-AS (for “ZFP36L2-antisense transcript”) is specifically enriched in skeletal muscle. Here, we report that ZFP36L2-AS is upregulated during myogenic differentiation, and highly expressed in breast and leg muscle. In vitro, ZFP36L2-AS inhibits myoblast proliferation but promotes myoblast differentiation. In vivo, ZFP36L2-AS facilitates intramuscular fat deposition, as well as activates fast-twitch muscle phenotype and induces muscle atrophy. Mechanistically, ZFP36L2-AS interacts with acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (ACACA) and pyruvate carboxylase (PC) to induce ACACA dephosphorylation and damaged PC protein stability, thus modulating muscle metabolism. Meanwhile, ZFP36L2-AS can activate ACACA to reduce acetyl-CoA content, which enhances the inhibition of PC activity. Our findings present a novel model about the regulation of lncRNA on muscle metabolism.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays a crucial part in all kinds of life activities, especially in myogenesis. SMARCD3 (SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily d, member 3) is a member of the SWI/SNF protein complex and was reported to be required for cell proliferation and myoblast differentiation. In this study, we identified a new lncRNA named SMARCD3-OT1 (SMARCD3overlappinglncRNA), which strongly regulated the development of myogenesis by improving the expression of SMARCD3X4 (SMARCD3transcripts4). We overexpressed and knockdown the expression of SMARCD3-OT1 and SMARCD3X4 to investigate their function on myoblast proliferation and differentiation. Cell experiments proved that SMARCD3-OT1 and SMARCD3X4 promoted myoblast proliferation through the CDKN1A pathway and improved differentiation of differentiated myoblasts through the MYOD pathway. Moreover, they upregulated the fast-twitch fiber-related genes and downregulated the slow-twitch fiber-related genes, which indicated that they facilitated the slow-twitch fiber to transform into the fast-twitch fiber. The animals’ experiments supported the results above, demonstrating that SMARCD3-OT1 could induce muscle hypertrophy and fast-twitch fiber transformation. In conclusion, SMARCD3-OT1 can improve the expression of SMARCD3X4, thus inducing muscle hypertrophy. In addition, SMARCD3-OT1 can facilitate slow-twitch fibers to transform into fast-twitch fibers.

Abstract
1. Chicken primary myoblasts (CPMs) are precursors that form muscle fibres. The proliferation and differentiation of CPMs is an essential stage in muscle development. Previous RNA-seq analysis showed that phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) is a differentially expressed gene in chicken muscle tissue at different growth stages. Therefore, the following study explored the effect of PHGDH on the proliferation and differentiation of CPMs.2. The effect on the proliferation of CPMs by RT-qPCR, CCK-8, and EdU assays after the overexpression and knockdown of PHGDH was evaluated. RT-qPCR, western blotting, and indirect immunofluorescence were used to detect the effect of PHGDH on the differentiation of the CPMs. The expression was observed at different time points for differentiation induced by the CPMs.3. The results showed that PHGDH significantly promoted proliferation and differentiation in CPMs. The results showed that overexpression of PHGDH significantly upregulated CPM proliferation, while knockdown had the opposite effect. Marker genes showed that overexpression of PHGDH significantly upregulated the expression of P21, MYOG and MYOD genes, significantly downregulated the expression of the MSTN gene and promoted the expression of the MYHC protein. In contrast, PHGDH knockdown had the opposite effect.4. Desmin immunofluorescence analysis of myotube differentiation in primary myoblasts showed that overexpression of PHGDH significantly increased the area of myotube differentiation and promoted the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts. Knockdown of PHGDH had the opposite effect.5. In summary, PHGDH was shown to play a positive role in regulating myoblast proliferation and differentiation. This provided a theoretical basis for further analysis of the regulatory mechanism of the PHGDH gene in chicken muscle development and for improving poultry production.

Abstract
Endothelial cells are an important component of the heart and vasculature and form a crucial link between the cardiovascular system and the immune system. Sestrin 1 (SESN1) has an important role in atherosclerosis by inhibiting NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 inflammasome activation. However, whether SESN1 is involved in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury caused by atherosclerosis has remained to be elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the functions of SESN1 in the inflammatory response, apoptosis and endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) of HUVECs following stimulation with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL). SESN1 expression at the mRNA and protein levels was detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis. Following SESN1 overexpression in Ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs, cell viability was determined using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick-end labeling staining was employed to detect cell apoptosis and western blot analysis was used to determine the levels of apoptosis-related proteins. RT-qPCR, ELISA and western blot were utilized to determine the levels of inflammatory factors. Immunofluorescence staining, RT-qPCR and western blot analysis were employed to assess the EndMT of Ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs. The results revealed that SESN1 exhibited a low expression in HUVECs following Ox-LDL stimulation. SESN1 overexpression suppressed inflammation, apoptosis and EndMT in Ox-LDL-induced HUVECs. In addition, SESN1 stimulated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase catalytic subunit α1/sirtuin 1 signaling to suppress Ox-LDL receptor-1 expression. An AMPK and SIRT1 inhibitor reversed the effects of SESN1 overexpression on the inflammatory response, apoptosis and EndMT of HUVECs exposed to Ox-LDL. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that SENS1 exerts a suppressive effect on Ox-LDL-induced inflammation, apoptosis and EndMT of HUVECs, suggesting that SENS1 may be used as a novel biomarker for endothelial injury-related disorders.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a regulator of the body's energy expenditure and metabolism. Abnormal regulation of skeletal muscle-specific genes leads to various muscle diseases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play important roles in muscle growth and muscle atrophy. To explore the potential function of muscle-associated lncRNA, we analyzed our previous RNA-sequencing data and selected the lncRNA (LncEDCH1) as the research object. In this study, we report that LncEDCH1 is specifically enriched in skeletal muscle, and its transcriptional activity is positively regulated by transcription factor SP1. LncEDCH1 regulates myoblast proliferation and differentiation in vitro. In vivo, LncEDCH1 reduces intramuscular fat deposition, activates slow-twitch muscle phenotype, and inhibits muscle atrophy. Mechanistically, LncEDCH1 binds to sarcoplasmic/ER calcium ATPase 2 (SERCA2) protein to enhance SERCA2 protein stability and increase SERCA2 activity. Meanwhile, LncEDCH1 improves mitochondrial efficiency possibly through a SERCA2-mediated activation of the AMPK pathway. Our findings provide a strategy for using LncEDCH1 as an effective regulator for the treatment of muscle atrophy and energy metabolism.

Abstract
Background Molecular breeding accelerates the speed of animal breeding. Screening molecular markers that can affect economic traits through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can provide a theoretical basis for molecular breeding. At present, a large number of molecular markers have been screened in poultry research, but few reports on how molecular markers affect economic traits exist. It is particularly important to reveal the action mechanisms of molecular markers, which can provide more accurate information for molecular breeding. Results The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between two indels (NUDT15-indel-2777 and NUDT15-indel-1673) in the promoter region of NUDT15 and growth and carcass traits in chickens and to explore the regulatory mechanism of NUDT15. Significant differences were found in genotype and allele frequencies among commercial broilers, commercial laying hens and dual-purpose chickens. The results of association analyses showed that these two indel loci could significantly affect growth traits, such as body weight, and carcass traits. Tissue expression profiling at E12 showed that the expression of NUDT15 was significantly higher in skeletal muscle, and time-expression profiling of leg muscle showed that the expression of NUDT15 in myoblasts was significantly higher in the E10 and E12 proliferation stages than in other stages. Promoter activity analysis showed that pro-1673-I and pro-1673-D significantly inhibited promoter activity, and the promoter activity of pro-1673-D was significantly lower than that of pro-1673-I. In addition, when NUDT15 was overexpressed or underwent interference in chicken primary myoblasts (CPMs), NUDT15 could inhibit the proliferation of CPMs. Conclusion The results suggest that the studied indels in the promoter region of NUDT15 may regulate the proliferation of CPMs by affecting NUDT15 expression, ultimately affecting the growth and carcass traits of chickens. These indel polymorphisms may be used together as molecular markers for improving economic traits in chickens.

Abstract
Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of endogenous ncRNA, which widely exist in the transcriptomes of different species and tissues. Recent studies indicate important roles for circRNAs in the regulation of gene expression by acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). However, the specific role of circRNAs in myogenesis is still poorly understood. In this study, we attempted to systematically identify the circRNAs involved in myogenesis and analyze the biological functions of circRNAs in chicken skeletal muscle development. Results In total, 532 circRNAs were identified as being differentially expressed between pectoralis major (PEM) and soleus (SOL) in 7-week-old Xinghua chicken. Among them, a novel circRNA (novel_circ_002621), generated by PTPN4 gene, was named circPTPN4 and identified. circPTPN4 is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, and its expression level is upregulated during myoblast differentiation. circPTPN4 facilitates the proliferation and differentiation of myoblast. Moreover, circPTPN4 suppresses mitochondria biogenesis and activates fast-twitch muscle phenotype. Mechanistically, circPTPN4 can function as a ceRNA to regulate NAMPT expression by sponging miR-499-3p, thus participating in AMPK signaling. Conclusions circPTPN4 functions as a ceRNA to regulate NAMPT expression by sponging miR-499-3p, thus promoting the proliferation and differentiation of myoblast, as well as activating fast-twitch muscle phenotype.

Abstract
MiR-16-5p, a member of the miR-16 family, has been reported to be abnormal expression in tumor tissues and blood of tumor patients, and also downregulated in most cancer cell lines. Aberrant expression of miR-16-5p promotes tumor cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, and can also affect the treatment sensitivity, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Generally, miR-16-5p plays an anti-tumor role and these diverse functions of miR-16-5p in tumors collectively indicate that miR-16-5p may become an attractive target for novel anticancer therapies and a powerful diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for early tumor detection and population risk screening. Herein we review the role and utilization of miR-16-5p in malignant tumor in detail.

Abstract
Cholestasis causes ductular reaction in the liver where the reactive cholangiocytes not only proliferate but also gain a neuroendocrine-like phenotype, leading to inflammatory cell infiltration and extracellular matrix deposition and contributing to the development and progression of cholestatic liver fibrosis. This study aims to elucidate the role of miR-200c in cholestasis-induced biliary liver fibrosis and cholangiocyte activation. We found that miR-200c was extremely abundant in cholangiocytes but was reduced by cholestasis in a bile duct ligation (BDL) mouse model; miR-200c was also decreased by bile acids in vitro. Phenotypically, loss of miR-200c exacerbated cholestatic liver injury, including periductular fibrosis, intrahepatic inflammation, and biliary hyperplasia in both the BDL model and the 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC) model. We identified sestrin 1 (SESN1) as a target of miR-200c. Sesn1-/--BDL mice showed mitigation of cholestatic liver injury. On a molecular level, the pro-proliferative IL-6/AKT feedback loop was activated in Mir200c-/- livers but was inhibited in Sesn1-/- livers upon cholestasis in mice. Furthermore, rescuing expression of miR-200c by the adeno-associated virus serotype 8 ameliorated BDL-induced liver injury in Mir200c-/- mice. Taken together, this study demonstrates that miR-200c restrains the proliferative and neuroendocrine-like activation of cholangiocytes by targeting SESN1 and inhibiting the IL-6/AKT feedback loop to protect against cholestatic liver fibrosis. Our findings provide mechanistic insights regarding biliary liver fibrosis, which may help to reveal novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of cholestatic liver injury and liver fibrosis.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to explore the expression of miRNAs and their potential roles in the DNA damage response (DDR) induced by Cr (VI) exposure in human B lymphoblast cells (HMy2.CIR cells) and in a population of Cr (VI)-exposed humans. METHODS Differentially expressed miRNAs were found by a combination of miRNA sequencing and RT-qPCR validation in HMy2.CIR cells treated with K2Cr2O7. Differentially expressed miRNAs related to DDR were selected for functional study. The expression levels of differential miRNAs were also investigated in chromate workers. RESULTS A total of 214 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified by sequencing, and the expression of 5 miRNAs among 25 associated with DDR was found to be consistent between sequencing and validation studies.Functional studies showed that miR-148a-3p, miR-21-5p, and miR-424-3p might be related to Cr (VI)-induced cell apoptosis, and miR-221-3p might participate in Cr (VI)-induced DDR. We also found that the expression of miR-21-5p and miR-424-3p was upregulated in chromate workers. CONCLUSIONS Cr (VI) exposure could significantly impact miRNAs expression in vitro and in chromate workers. Functional studies showed that miR-148a-3p, miR-21-5p and miR-221-3p might take a crucial role in the cellular DDR induced by Cr (VI) exposure.

Abstract
Several recent studies investigated the role of the miR-29 family in muscle development. However, only a few studies focused on chicken skeletal muscle. In the present study, cell cycle, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), and other assays indicated that miR-29b-1-5p can inhibit the proliferation of chicken primary myoblasts (CPMs); the western blot assay and immunofluorescence detection of MYHC demonstrated that miR-29b-1-5p can promote the differentiation of myoblasts. The functional enrichment analysis revealed that the target genes of miR-29b-1-5p may be involved in muscle tissue development, muscle organ development, and striated muscle tissue development, which are biological processes related to muscle development. The correlation analysis showed that these 6 genes, that is, ankyrin repeat domain 9 (ANKRD9), lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), transcription factor 12 (TCF12), FAT atypical cadherin 1 (FAT1), lin-9 homolog (LIN9), and integrin beta 3 binding protein (ITGB3BP), can be used as effective candidate target genes of miR-29b-1-5p. Moreover, miR-29b-1-5p inhibits the expression of ANKRD9 by directly binding the 3'UTR of ANKRD9. Overall, these data indicate that miR-29b-1-5p inhibits the proliferation of primary chicken myoblasts, stimulates their differentiation, and is involved in the process of muscle development and that its effective target gene is ANKRD9. This study identified the molecular mechanism of miR-29b-1-5p in chicken muscle development.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBD) is the most common form of brain injury in newborns and is a major burden on society. However, the molecular mechanism of HIBD remains unclear. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been demonstrated to be a key regulator in brain development and numerous neurological diseases. The present study identified the role and underlying mechanism of lncRNA antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) in HIBD. The data indicated that ANRIL expression was significantly increased in hypoxia-stressed primary neurons and PC12 cells. Silencing ANRIL aggravated oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced cell injury. Mechanistically, microRNA (miR)-378b was predicted and confirmed as a direct target of ANRIL. A miR-378b inhibitor counteracted the effect of ANRIL on hypoxia-induced cell injury. Furthermore, ANRIL positively regulated autophagy related 3 (ATG3) expression and promoted autophagy through competitively binding to miR-378b. Overall, the present findings suggest that ANRIL exerts its protective effects via binding to miR-378b and upregulating ATG3 expression, suggesting the potential of ANRIL as a protective target for HIBD.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a pathophysiological malfunction induced by skeletal muscle atrophy. Several studies reported an association between sarcopenia-induced cardiac cachexia and poor prognosis in heart disease. However, due to lack of an established animal models, the underlying mechanism of disturbed cardiac repair accompanied with sarcopenia remains poorly understood. Here, we developed a novel sarcopenia-induced cardiac repair disturbance mouse model induced by tail suspension (TS) after cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Importantly, we identified a specific exosomal-microRNA marker, miR-16-5p, in the circulating exosomes of I/R-TS mice. Of note, sarcopenia after I/R disturbed cardiac repair and raised the level of circulating-exosomal-miR-16-5p secreting from both the atrophic limbs and heart of TS mice. Likewise, miR-16-5p mimic plasmid disturbed cardiac repair in I/R mice directly. Additionally, in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) cultured in vitro under hypoxic conditions in the presence of a miR-16-5p mimic, we observed increased apoptosis through p53 and Caspase3 upregulation, and also clarified that autophagosomes were decreased in NRVMs via SESN1 transcript interference-mediated mTOR activation. In conclusion, we show the pro-apoptotic effect of sarcopenia-derived miR-16-5p, which may be behind the exacerbation of myocardial infarction. Therefore, miR-16-5p can be a novel therapeutic target in the context of cardiac repair disturbances in sarcopenia-cachexia.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that gga-miR-2954 was highly expressed in the gonads and other tissues of male chickens, including muscle tissue. Yin Yang1 (YY1), which has functions in mammalian skeletal muscle development, was predicted to be a target gene of gga-miR-2954. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether gga-miR-2954 plays a role in skeletal muscle development by targeting YY1, and evaluate its function in the sexual dimorphism development of chicken muscle. Here, all the temporal and spatial expression profiles in chicken embryonic muscles showed that gga-miR-2954 is highly expressed in males and mainly localized in cytoplasm. Gga-miR-2954 exhibited upregulated expression of in vitro myoblast differentiation stages. Next, through the overexpression and loss-of-function experiments performed in chicken primary myoblasts, we found that gga-miR-2954 inhibited myoblast proliferation but promoted differentiation. During myogenesis, gga-miR-2954 could suppress the expression of YY1, which promoted myoblast proliferation and inhibited the process of myoblast cell differentiation into multinucleated myotubes. Overall, these findings reveal a novel role of gga-miR-2954 in skeletal muscle development through its function of the myoblast proliferation and differentiation by suppressing the expression of YY1. Moreover, gga-miR-2954 may contribute to the sex difference in chicken muscle development.

Abstract
1. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of myoblasts. However, the effect of miR-7 on the apoptosis of chicken primary myoblasts (CPMs) and its mechanism is still unclear.2. In this study, the expression of apoptosis marker genes (RAF1, Caspase3, Caspase9, Cytc, Fas) in CPMs was significantly increased after transfection of miR-7 mimic. The expression of the apoptosis marker genes in CPMs was significantly reduced after transfection with miR-7 inhibitor. Flow cytometry showed that the late apoptosis rate of the mimic group was significantly higher than the negative control (NC). The viable cells of the mimic group were significantly lower than the NC. In contrast, inhibition of miR-7 had the opposite effect.3. The dual-luciferase assay showed that the KLF4 was a target gene of miR-7. The rescue experiment showed that the KLF4 gene could attenuate the effect of miR-7 on the expression of apoptosis marker genes in CPMs.4. Determination of the function the KLF4 gene showed that the expression of the apoptosis marker genes in CPMs decreased significantly compared with the NC after its overexpression. Inhibition of KLF4 gene had the opposite effect. Flow cytometry showed that overexpression of the KLF4 gene inhibited early apoptosis of myoblasts (P ≤ 0.01), while interference with the KLF4 gene could promote early apoptosis of myoblasts (P ≤ 0.001).5. The results demonstrated, for the first time, that miR-7 promotes apoptosis in chicken primary myoblasts by regulating the expression of the KLF4 gene.
