摘要
Pig is an important economic animal in China. Improving meat quality and meat productivity is a long time issue in animal genetic breeding. Micro RNAs(mi RNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that participate in various biological processes, such as muscle development and embryogenesis. mi R-22 differentially expresses in embryonic and adult skeletal muscle. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, we investigated mi R-22 function in proliferation and differentiation of porcine satellite cells(PSCs) in skeletal muscle. Our data show that mi R-22 expressed in both proliferation and differentiated PSCs and is significantly upregulated(P<0.05) during differentiation. After treated with the mi R-22 inhibitor, PSCs proliferation was significantly increased(P<0.05), as indicated by the up-regulation(P<0.01) of cyclin D1(CCND1), cyclin B1(CCNB1) and down-regulation(P<0.05) of P21. Conversely, over-expression of mi R-22 resulted in opposite results. Differentiation of PSCs was significantly suppressed(P<0.05), evidenced by two major myogenic markers: myogenin(Myo G) and myosin heavy chain(My HC), after transfecting the PSCs with mi R-22 inhibitor. Opposite results were demonstrated in the other way around by transfection with mi R-22 mimics. In conclusion, the data from this study indicated that mi R-22 inhibited the PSCs proliferation but promoted their differentiation.
