Long Non-coding RNA Profiling Reveals an Abundant MDNCR that Promotes Differentiation of Myoblasts by Sponging miR-133a.

ABSTRACT: Muscle development is regulated by a series of complicate processes, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as lncRNA have been reported to play important roles in regulating skeletal myogenesis and diseases. Here we profile the expression of lncRNA in cattle skeletal muscle tissue from fetus and adult developmental stages and detect 13,580 lncRNA candidates. Many of these lncRNAs are differentially expressed between two developmental stages. We further characterize one abundant lncRNA with the highest expression level of all downregulated lncRNAs, which we named muscle differentiation-associated lncRNA (MDNCR). Via luciferase screening, RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP), and RNA pull-down assays, MDNCR was observed to directly bind to miR-133a with 32 potential binding sites. GosB was identified as a target of miR-133a by luciferase activity, quantitative real-time qPCR, and western blotting assays. Overexpression of MDNCR increased the expression of GosB, whereas this effect was abolished by miR-133a. We found that MDNCR promotes myoblast differentiation and inhibits cell proliferation by sponging miR-133a. These results demonstrate that MDNCR binding miR-133a promotes cell differentiation by targeting GosB in cattle primary myoblasts.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified from various tissues and species, but their regulatory functions during developmental processes are not well understood. We examined circRNA expression profiles of two developmental stages of bovine skeletal muscle (embryonic and adult musculus longissimus) to provide first insights into their potential involvement in bovine myogenesis. We identified 12 981 circRNAs and annotated them to the Bos taurus reference genome, including 530 circular intronic RNAs (ciRNAs). One parental gene could generate multiple circRNA isoforms, with only one or two isoforms being expressed at higher expression levels. Also, several host genes produced different isoforms when comparing development stages. Most circRNA candidates contained two to seven exons, and genomic distances to back-splicing sites were usually less than 50 kb. The length of upstream or downstream flanking introns was usually less than 105 nt (mean≈11 000 nt). Several circRNAs differed in abundance between developmental stages, and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis largely confirmed differential expression of the 17 circRNAs included in this analysis. The second part of our study characterized the role of circLMO7-one of the most down-regulated circRNAs when comparing adult to embryonic muscle tissue-in bovine muscle development. Overexpression of circLMO7 inhibited the differentiation of primary bovine myoblasts, and it appears to function as a competing endogenous RNA for miR-378a-3p, whose involvement in bovine muscle development has been characterized beforehand. Congruent with our interpretation, circLMO7 increased the number of myoblasts in the S-phase of the cell cycle and decreased the proportion of cells in the G0/G1 phase. Moreover, it promoted the proliferation of myoblasts and protected them from apoptosis. Our study provides novel insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle development and identifies a number of circRNAs whose regulatory potential will need to be explored in the future.
