Chicken Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle plays important roles in animal locomotion, metabolism, and meat production in farm animals. Current studies showed that non-coding RNAs, especially the circular RNA (circRNA) play an indispensable role in skeletal muscle development. Our previous study revealed that several differentially expressed circRNAs among fast muscle growing broilers (FMGB) and slow muscle growing layers (SMGL) may regulate muscle development in the chicken. In this study, a novel differentially expressed circPPP1R13B was identified. Molecular mechanism analysis indicated that circPPP1R13B targets miR-9-5p and negatively regulates the expression of miR-9-5p, which was previously reported to be an inhibitor of skeletal muscle development. In addition, circPPP1R13B positively regulated the expression of miR-9-5p target gene insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) and further activated the downstream insulin like growth factors (IGF)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT serine/threonine kinase (AKT) signaling pathway. The results also showed that the knockdown of circPPP1R13B inhibits chicken skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) proliferation and differentiation, and the overexpression of circPPP1R13B promotes the proliferation and differentiation of chicken SMSCs. Furthermore, the overexpression of circPPP1R13B could block the inhibitory effect of miR-9-5p on chicken SMSC proliferation and differentiation. In summary, our results suggested that circPPP1R13B promotes chicken SMSC proliferation and differentiation by targeting miR-9-5p and activating IGF/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

MicroRNAs are evolutionarily conserved, small non-coding RNAs that play critical post-transcriptional regulatory roles in skeletal muscle development. We previously found that miR-9-5p is abundantly expressed in chicken skeletal muscle. Here, we demonstrate a new role for miR-9-5p as a myogenic microRNA that regulates skeletal muscle development. The overexpression of miR-9-5p significantly inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs), whereas miR-9-5p inhibition had the opposite effect. We show that insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) is a target gene of miR-9-5p, using dual-luciferase assays, RT-qPCR, and Western Blotting, and that it promotes proliferation and differentiation of SMSCs. In addition, we found that IGF2BP3 regulates IGF-2 expression, using overexpression and knockdown studies. We show that Akt is activated by IGF2BP3 and is essential for IGF2BP3-induced cell development. Together, our results indicate that miR-9-5p could regulate the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts by targeting IGF2BP3 through IGF-2 and that this activity results in the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in skeletal muscle cells.

AbstractMany novel non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are involved in various physiological and pathological processes. The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is important for its role in regulating skeletal muscle development. In this study, molecular and biochemical assays were used to confirm the role of miRNA-145 (miR-145) in myoblast proliferation and apoptosis. Based on sequencing data and bioinformatics analysis, we identified a new circRILPL1, which acts as a sponge for miR-145. The interactions between circRILPL1 and miR-145 were examined by bioinformatics, a luciferase assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation. Mechanistically, knockdown or exogenous expression of circRILPL1 in the primary myoblasts was performed to prove the functional significance of circRILPL1. We investigated the inhibitory effect of miR-145 on myoblast proliferation by targeting IGF1R to regulate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. A novel circRILPL1 was identified that could sponge miR-145 and is related to AKT activation. In addition, circRILPL1 was positively correlated with muscle proliferation and differentiation in vitro and could inhibit cell apoptosis. The newly identified circRILPL1 functions as a miR-145 sponge to regulate the IGF1R gene and rescue the inhibitory effect of miR-145 on the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby promoting myoblast growth.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously expressed small noncoding RNAs and play critical roles in the regulation of post-transcriptional gene expression. Our previous study uncovered that chi-miR-487b-3p is widespread in different goat tissues, which is significantly higher in muscle, especially in lamb. Here, we demonstrate the role of chi-miR-487b-3p as a myogenic miRNA that regulates skeletal muscle development. chi-miR-487b-3p overexpression was demonstrated to significantly inhibit goat myoblast proliferation and differentiation, whereas chi-miR-487b-3p inhibition resulted in the opposite effects. Next, chi-miR-487b-3p was predicted to target the 3′UTR of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) gene by Target-Scan and miRDB. The results of dual-luciferase assay, RT-qPCR, and western blot all confirmed that IRS1 might be a direct target of chi-miR-487b-3p as its expression was negatively regulated by chi-miR-487b-3p. siRNA silencing of IRS1 further demonstrated significant inhibition on goat myoblast proliferation and differentiation, confirming the effect of IRS1 downregulation by chi-miR-487b-3p in myogenesis. In addition, chi-miR-487b-3p knockout goat myoblast clones were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and we further illustrated that chi-miR-487b-3p regulates goat myoblast growth through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by targeting IRS1. Collectively, our work demonstrated that chi-miR-487b-3p is a potent inhibitor of skeletal myogenesis and provided new insights into the mechanisms of miRNA on the regulation of goat growth.

Chicken Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue that is essential for initiating movement and maintaining homeostasis. The genesis of skeletal muscle is an integrative process that lasts from embryonic development to postnatal stages, which is carried out under the modulation of many factors. Recent studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs, are involved in myogenesis. However, more circRNAs and their mechanisms that may regulate skeletal muscle development remain to be explored. Through in-depth analysis of our previous RNA-Seq data, circFNDC3AL was found to be a potentially functional circRNA highly expressed during embryonic development of chicken skeletal muscle. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effect of circFNDC3AL on skeletal muscle development in chickens and found that circFNDC3AL promoted chicken skeletal muscle satellite cell (SMSC) proliferation and differentiation. To gain a thorough understanding of the exact modulatory mechanisms of circFNDC3AL in chicken skeletal muscle development, we performed target miRNA analysis of circFNDC3AL and found that circFNDC3AL has a binding site for miR-204. Subsequently, we demonstrated that miR-204 inhibited chicken SMSC proliferation and differentiation, which showed the opposite functions of circFNDC3AL. Furthermore, we identified the miR-204 target gene B-cell CLL/lymphoma 9 (BCL9) and validated that miR-204 had an inhibitory effect on BCL9, while the negative effect could be relieved by circFNDC3AL. In addition, we verified that BCL9 performed the same positive functions on chicken SMSC proliferation and differentiation as circFNDC3AL, as opposed to miR-204. In conclusion, our study identified a circRNA circFNDC3AL that upregulates BCL9 expression to promote the proliferation and differentiation of chicken SMSCs by binding to miR-204.

Abstract The mechanism of physiological regulation of bovine skeletal muscle development is a complex process, and FHL2 has been studied in association with β-catenin activity and has previously been reported to play a role in skeletal muscle.However the mechanism of FHL2 action in regulating skeletal muscle development in bovine skeletal myosatellite is unclear. Here, we report that FHL2 can both promote the proliferation and differentiation of bovine myosatellite cells through the wnt signaling pathway and bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells through cellular autophagy. The results of western blotting, rt-qPCT, cell transfection assay showed that FHL2 gene expression was enhanced during the proliferation of skeletal muscle satellite cells, and FHL2 knockdown inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of bovine satellite cells and promoted the atrophy of myotubes. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation assays yielded that FHL2 knockdown decreased β-catenin activity in BMSCs and activated β-catenin-mediated wnt signaling pathway in combination with DVL-2, and that FHL2 knockdown induced autophagy in bovine satellite cells. Therefore, the FHL2 gene is a key gene in the regulation of bovine satellite cells.

Farm-animal species play crucial roles in satisfying demands for meat on a global scale, and they are genetically being developed to enhance the efficiency of meat production. In particular, one of the important breeders’ aims is to increase skeletal muscle growth in farm animals. The enhancement of muscle development and growth is crucial to meet consumers’ demands regarding meat quality. Fetal skeletal muscle development involves myogenesis (with myoblast proliferation, differentiation, and fusion), fibrogenesis, and adipogenesis. Typically, myogenesis is regulated by a convoluted network of intrinsic and extrinsic factors monitored by myogenic regulatory factor genes in two or three phases, as well as genes that code for kinases. Marker-assisted selection relies on candidate genes related positively or negatively to muscle development and can be a strong supplement to classical selection strategies in farm animals. This comprehensive review covers important (candidate) genes that regulate muscle development and growth in farm animals (cattle, sheep, chicken, and pig). The identification of these genes is an important step toward the goal of increasing meat yields and improves meat quality.

Abstract Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA that play crucial roles in the development of skeletal muscle. However, little is known about the role of circRNAs in caprine skeletal muscle. In this study, the muscle fiber size and expression profiles of circRNAs were compared in Longissimus dorsi muscle of Liaoning cashmere (LC) goats and Ziwuling black (ZB) goats with significant phenotypic differences in meat production performance, using hematoxylin and eosin staining and RNA-Seq, respectively.Results: The muscle fiber size in LC goats were larger than those in ZB goats (P < 0.05). A total of 10,875 circRNAs were identified and 214 of these were differentially expressed between the two caprine breeds. The authentication and expression levels of 20 circRNAs were confirmed using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and DNA sequencing. The parent genes of differentially expressed circRNAs were mainly enriched in connective tissue development, Rap1, cGMP-PKG, cAMP and Ras signaling pathway. Some miRNAs reportedly associated with skeletal muscle development and intramuscular fat deposition would be targeted by several differentially expressed circRNAs and the most highly expressed circRNA (circ_001086).Conclusion: These results provide an improved understanding of the functions of circRNAs in skeletal muscle development of goats.

Poultry skeletal muscle provides high quality protein for humans. Study of the genetic mechanisms during duck skeletal muscle development contribute to future duck breeding and meat production. In the current study, three breast muscle samples from Shan Ma ducks at embryonic day 13 (E13) and E19 were collected, respectively. We detected microRNA (miRNA) expression using high throughput sequencing following bioinformatic analysis. qRT-PCR validated the reliability of sequencing results. We also identified target prediction results using the luciferase reporter assay. A total of 812 known miRNAs and 279 novel miRNAs were detected in six samples; as a result, 61 up-regulated and 48 down-regulated differentially expressed miRNAs were identified between E13 and E19 (|log2 fold change| ≥ 1 and p ≤ 0.05). Enrichment analysis showed that target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were enriched on many muscle development-related gene ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, especially mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. An interaction network was constructed using the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs. These results complement the current duck miRNA database and offer several miRNA candidates for future studies of skeletal muscle development in the duck.
