Singh AK. Rules and impacts of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in the degradation of long noncoding RNAs. WILEY INTERDISCIPLINARY REVIEWS. RNA 2024; 15:e1853. [PMID: 38741356 DOI: 10.1002/wrna.1853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a quality-control process that selectively degrades mRNAs having premature termination codon, upstream open reading frame, or unusually long 3'UTR. NMD detects such mRNAs and rapidly degrades them during initial rounds of translation in the eukaryotic cells. Since NMD is a translation-dependent cytoplasmic mRNA surveillance process, the noncoding RNAs were initially believed to be NMD-resistant. The sequence feature-based analysis has revealed that many putative long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have short open reading frames, most of which have translation potential. Subsequent transcriptome-based molecular studies showed an association of a large set of such putative lncRNAs with translating ribosomes, and some of them produce stable and functionally active micropeptides. The translationally active lncRNAs typically have relatively longer and unprotected 3'UTR, which can induce their NMD-dependent degradation. This review defines the mechanism and regulation of NMD-dependent degradation of lncRNAs and its impact on biological processes related to the functions of lncRNAs or their encoded micropeptides. This article is categorized under: RNA Turnover and Surveillance > Turnover/Surveillance Mechanisms RNA Turnover and Surveillance > Regulation of RNA Stability RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Disease.

Poult Sci 2024; 103:103626. [PMID: 38513549 PMCID: PMC10966089 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Qingyuan partridge chicken (QYM) is a highly regarded native breed in China, highly esteemed for its exceptional breeding characteristics. However, the investigation into the selection signatures and its strains remains largely unexplored. In this study, blood sampling, DNA extracting, and high-depth resequencing were performed in 27 QYMs. Integrating the genomic data of 14 chicken (70 individuals) breeds from other researches, to analyze the genetic structure, selection signatures, and effects of selective breeding within QYM and its 3 strains (QYMA, QYMB, and QYMC). Population structure analysis revealed an independent QYM cluster, which exhibited distinct from other breeds, with each of its 3 strains displaying distinct clustering patterns. Linkage disequilibrium analysis highlighted QYMB's notably slower decay rate, potentially influenced by selection pressure from various production indicators. Examination of selection signatures uncovered genes and genetic mechanisms associated with genomic changes resulting from extensive selective breeding within the QYM and its strains. Intriguingly, diacylglycerol kinase beta (DGKB) and catenin alpha 2 (CTNNA2) were identified as commonly selected genes across the 3 QYM strains, linked to energy metabolism, muscle development, and fat metabolism. Our research validates the substantial impact of selective breeding on QYM and its strains, concurrently identifying genomic regions and signaling pathways associated with their distinctive characters. This research also establishes a fundamental framework for advancing yellow-feathered broiler breeding strategies.

Cell Mol Biol Lett 2024; 29:9. [PMID: 38177995 PMCID: PMC10765903 DOI: 10.1186/s11658-023-00525-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
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
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity in young women, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. The primary pathogenic factors contributing to its development include genetics, abnormal bone metabolism, and endocrine factors. Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AIS by regulating its occurrence and progression. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are also involved in the pathogenesis of AIS, and their role in regulating BMSCs in patients with AIS requires further evaluation. In this review, we discuss the relevant literature regarding the osteogenic, chondrogenic, and lipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The corresponding mechanisms of ncRNA-mediated BMSC regulation in patients with AIS, recent advancements in AIS and ncRNA research, and the importance of ncRNA translation profiling and multiomics are highlighted.

Correlation Between the Severity of Multifidus Fatty Degeneration and the Size of Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament at Each Spinal Level. Neurospine 2023; 20:921-930. [PMID: 37798986 PMCID: PMC10562234 DOI: 10.14245/ns.2346506.253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the correlation between ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) size and multifidus fatty degeneration (MFD), hypothesizing that larger OPLL sizes are associated with worse MFD. METHODS One hundred four patients with cervical OPLL who underwent surgery were screened. OPLL occupying diameter and area ratios, the severity of MFD using the Goutallier classification, and range of motion (ROM) of cervical flexion-extension (ΔCobb) were measured. Correlation analyses between OPLL size, MFD severity, and ΔCobb were conducted. MFD severity was compared for each OPLL type using one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS The final clinical data from 100 patients were analyzed. The average Goutallier grade of C2-7 significantly correlated with the average OPLL diameter and area occupying ratios, and OPLL involved vertebral level (r = 0.58, p < 0.01; r = 0.40, p < 0.01; r = 0.47, p < 0.01, respectively). The OPLL size at each cervical level significantly correlated with MFD of the same or 1-3 adjacent levels. ΔCobb angle was negatively correlated with the average Goutallier grade (r = -0.31, p < 0.01) and average OPLL occupying diameter and area ratios (r = -0.31, p < 0.01; r = -0.35, p < 0.01, respectively). Patients with continuous OPLL exhibited worse MFD than those with segmental OPLL (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION OPLL size is clinically correlated with MFD and cervical ROM. OPLL at one spinal level affects MFD at the same and 1-3 adjacent spinal levels. The worsening severity of MFD is associated with the longitudinal continuity of OPLL.

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.

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.

Abstract
Skeletal myogenesis is a highly ordered process finely regulated by various factors. Long non-coding RNAs play an important regulatory role in myogenesis via multiple mechanisms. In this study, we identified the lncRNA Gm10561, which was upregulated during myogenic differentiation and is highly expressed in skeletal muscle. Knockdown of Gm10561 inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts in vitro and muscle growth in vivo. Overexpression of Gm10561 promoted the proliferation and differentiation of both C2C12 myoblasts and porcine muscle satellite cells. Notably, lncRNA Gm10561 is localized in the cytoplasm and competitively bound to miR-432, which directly targets MEF2C and E2F3. It was confirmed that lncRNA Gm10561 regulates the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts by acting as a sponge of miR-432 to modulate MEF2C and E2F3 expression. Thus, the lncRNA-Gm10561-miR-432-MEF2C/E2F3 axis plays an important role in myogenesis.

The Functional Role of Long Non-Coding RNA in Myogenesis and Skeletal Muscle Atrophy. Cells 2022; 11:cells11152291. [PMID: 35892588 PMCID: PMC9332450 DOI: 10.3390/cells11152291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a pivotal organ in humans that maintains locomotion and homeostasis. Muscle atrophy caused by sarcopenia and cachexia, which results in reduced muscle mass and impaired skeletal muscle function, is a serious health condition that decreases life longevity in humans. Recent studies have revealed the molecular mechanisms by which long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate skeletal muscle mass and function through transcriptional regulation, fiber-type switching, and skeletal muscle cell proliferation. In addition, lncRNAs function as natural inhibitors of microRNAs and induce muscle hypertrophy or atrophy. Intriguingly, muscle atrophy modifies the expression of thousands of lncRNAs. Therefore, although their exact functions have not yet been fully elucidated, various novel lncRNAs associated with muscle atrophy have been identified. Here, we comprehensively review recent knowledge on the regulatory roles of lncRNAs in skeletal muscle atrophy. In addition, we discuss the issues and possibilities of targeting lncRNAs as a treatment for skeletal muscle atrophy and muscle wasting disorders in humans.

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.

The Novel Competing Endogenous Long Noncoding RNA SM2 Regulates Gonadotropin Secretion in the Hu Sheep Anterior Pituitary by Targeting the Oar-miR-16b/TGF-β/SMAD2 Signaling Pathway. Cells 2022; 11:cells11060985.

Abstract
Pituitary gonadotropins play a pivotal role in reproduction. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as important regulators in the hypothalamic−pituitary−ovarian (HPO) axis associated with reproduction. However, the contributions of lncRNAs to pituitary gonadotropin secretion remain largely unknown. Therefore, this work was performed to uncover the functional mechanisms of the novel lncRNA TCONS_00083279 (lncRNA SM2) and its potential targeting pathway oar-miR-16b/TGF-beta/SMAD2, which is associated with gonadotropin secretion in sheep pituitary cells. In the present study, the lncRNA SM2 showed high expression levels in the sheep pituitary gland, and it was located in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of pituitary cells. lncRNA SM2 knockdown inhibited pituitary cell proliferation and FSH and LH secretion. The function of the lncRNA SM2 was sponged by oar-miR-16b, and this regulated the growth and gonadotropin secretion of pituitary cells by modulating SMAD2, as shown by the dual-luciferase reporter assay. FSH and LH levels were both upregulated by SMAD2 overexpression. Moreover, the levels of the lncRNA SM2, SMAD2 and TGFR1, as well as FSH and LH, in sheep pituitary cells increased significantly under gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation (p < 0.05). This work illustrates that the lncRNA SM2 regulates gonadotropin secretion in the Hu sheep anterior pituitary by targeting the oar-miR-16b/TGF-β/SMAD2 signaling pathway, providing a valuable resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying sheep reproduction.

Abstract
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) degrades transcripts with premature stop codons. Given the prevalence of nonsense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the general population, it is urgent to catalog the effects of clinically approved drugs on NMD activity: any interference could alter the expression of nonsense SNPs, inadvertently inducing adverse effects. This risk is higher for patients with disease-causing nonsense mutations or an illness linked to dysregulated nonsense transcripts. On the other hand, hundreds of disorders are affected by cellular NMD efficiency and may benefit from NMD-modulatory drugs. Here, we profiled individual FDA-approved drugs for their impact on cellular NMD efficiency using a sensitive method that directly probes multiple endogenous NMD targets for a robust readout of NMD modulation. We found most FDA-approved drugs cause unremarkable effects on NMD, while many elicit clear transcriptional responses. Besides several potential mild NMD modulators, the anticancer drug homoharringtonine (HHT or omacetaxine mepesuccinate) consistently upregulates various endogenous NMD substrates in a dose-dependent manner in multiple cell types. We further showed translation inhibition mediates HHT's NMD effect. In summary, many FDA drugs induce transcriptional changes, and a few impact global NMD, and direct measurement of endogenous NMD substrate expression is robust to monitor cellular NMD.

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 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
Recent advances in the transcriptomics, translatomics, and proteomics have led us to the exciting new world of functional endogenous microproteins. These microproteins have a small size and are derived from small open reading frames (smORFs) of RNAs previously annotated as non-coding (e.g. lncRNAs and circRNAs) as well as from untranslated regions and canonical mRNAs. The presence of these microproteins reveals a much larger translatable portion of the genome, shifting previously defined dogmas and paradigms. These findings affect our view of organisms as a whole, including skeletal muscle tissue. Emerging evidence demonstrates that several smORF-derived microproteins play crucial roles during muscle development (myogenesis), maintenance, and regeneration, as well as lipid and glucose metabolism and skeletal muscle bioenergetics. These microproteins are also involved in processes including physical activity capacity, cellular stress, and muscular-related diseases (i.e. myopathy, cachexia, atrophy, and muscle wasting). Given the role of these small proteins as important key regulators of several skeletal muscle processes, there are rich prospects for the discovery of new microproteins and possible therapies using synthetic microproteins.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in skeletal muscle development. CircRNA biogenesis is dependent on the genetic context. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the introns flanking circRNAs may be intermediate-inducible factors between circRNA expression and phenotypic traits. Our previous study showed that circTAF8 is an abundantly and differentially expressed circRNA in leg muscle during chicken embryonic development. Here, we aimed to investigate circTAF8 function in muscle development and the association of the SNPs in the circTAF8 flanking introns with carcass traits. In this study, we observed that overexpression of circTAF8 could promote the proliferation of chicken primary myoblasts and inhibit their differentiation. In addition, the SNPs in the introns flanking the circTAF8 locus and those associated with chicken carcass traits were analyzed in 335 partridge chickens. A total of eight SNPs were found associated with carcass traits such as leg muscle weight, live weight, and half and full-bore weight. The association analysis results of haplotype combinations were consistent with the association analysis of a single SNP. These results suggest that circTAF8 plays a regulatory role in muscle development. These identified SNPs were found correlated with traits to muscle development and carcass muscle weight in chickens.

Abstract
Muscle atrophy is a common complication of many chronic diseases including heart failure, cancer cachexia, aging, etc. Unhealthy habits and usage of hormones such as dexamethasone can also lead to muscle atrophy. However, the underlying mechanisms of muscle atrophy are not completely understood. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), play vital roles in muscle atrophy. This review mainly discusses the regulation of ncRNAs in muscle atrophy induced by various factors such as heart failure, cancer cachexia, aging, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), peripheral nerve injury (PNI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), unhealthy habits, and usage of hormones; highlights the findings of ncRNAs as common regulators in multiple types of muscle atrophy; and summarizes current therapies and underlying mechanisms for muscle atrophy. This review will deepen the understanding of skeletal muscle biology and provide new strategies and insights into gene therapy for muscle atrophy.

Sci Rep 2021; 11:20861. [PMID: 34675224 PMCID: PMC8531282 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00176-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
SART and PMM are mainly composed of oxidative myofibers and glycolytic myofibers, respectively, and myofiber types profoundly influence postnatal muscle growth and meat quality. SART and PMM are composed of lncRNAs and circRNAs that participate in myofiber type regulation. To elucidate the regulatory mechanism of myofiber type, lncRNA and circRNA sequencing was used to systematically compare the transcriptomes of the SART and PMM of Chinese female Qingyuan partridge chickens at their marketing age. The luminance value (L*), redness value (a*), average diameter, cross-sectional area, and density difference between the PMM and SART were significant (p < 0.05). ATPase staining results showed that PMMs were all darkly stained and belonged to the glycolytic type, and the proportion of oxidative myofibers in SART was 81.7%. A total of 5 420 lncRNAs were identified, of which 365 were differentially expressed in the SART compared with the PMM (p < 0.05). The cis-regulatory analysis identified target genes that were enriched for specific GO terms and KEGG pathways (p < 0.05), including striated muscle cell differentiation, regulation of cell proliferation, regulation of muscle cell differentiation, myoblast differentiation, regulation of myoblast differentiation, and MAPK signaling pathway. Pathways and coexpression network analyses suggested that XR_003077811.1, XR_003072304.1, XR_001465942.2, XR_001465741.2, XR_001470487.1, XR_003077673.1 and XR_003074785.1 played important roles in regulating oxidative myofibers by TBX3, QKI, MYBPC1, CALM2, and PPARGC1A expression. A total of 10 487 circRNAs were identified, of which 305 circRNAs were differentially expressed in the SART compared with the PMM (p < 0.05). Functional enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed circRNAs were involved in host gene expression and were enriched in the AMPK, calcium signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, and cellular senescence. Novel_circ_004282 and novel_circ_002121 played important roles in regulating oxidative myofibers by PPP3CA and NFATC1 expression. Using lncRNA-miRNA/circRNA-miRNA integrated analysis, we identified many candidate interaction networks that might affect muscle fiber performance. Important lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks, such as lncRNA-XR_003074785.1/miR-193-3p/PPARGC1A, regulate oxidative myofibers. This study reveals that lncXR_003077811.1, lncXR_003072304.1, lncXR_001465942.2, lncXR_001465741.2, lncXR_001470487.1, lncXR_003077673.1, XR_003074785.1, novel_circ_004282 and novel_circ_002121 might regulate oxidative myofibers. The lncRNA-XR_003074785.1/miR-193-3p/PPARGC1A pathway might regulate oxidative myofibers. All these findings provide rich resources for further in-depth research on the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs and circRNAs in myofibers.

Abstract
Pre-mRNA splicing is critical for cells, as defects in this process can lead to altered open reading frames and defective proteins, potentially causing neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Introns are removed in the nucleus and splicing is documented by the addition of exon-junction-complexes (EJCs) at exon-exon boundaries. This “memory” of splicing events is important for the ribosome, which translates the RNAs in the cytoplasm. In case a stop codon was detected before an EJC, translation is blocked and the RNA is eliminated by the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). In the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two guard proteins, Gbp2 and Hrb1, have been identified as nuclear quality control factors for splicing. In their absence, intron-containing mRNAs leak into the cytoplasm. Their presence retains transcripts until the process is completed and they release the mRNAs by recruitment of the export factor Mex67. On transcripts that experience splicing problems, these guard proteins recruit the nuclear RNA degradation machinery. Interestingly, they continue their quality control function on exported transcripts. They support NMD by inhibiting translation and recruiting the cytoplasmic degradation factors. In this way, they link the nuclear and cytoplasmic quality control systems. These discoveries are also intriguing for humans, as homologues of these guard proteins are present also in multicellular organisms. Here, we provide an overview of the quality control mechanisms of pre-mRNA splicing, and present Gbp2 and Hrb1, as well as their human counterparts, as important players in these pathways.

Abstract
Objectives In recent years, long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play a role in the occurrence, progression and prognosis of chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Design and methods Literature exploring on PubMed was conducted using the combination of keywords 'LncRNA' and each of the following: 'osteoarthritis', 'rheumatoid arthritis', 'osteoporosis', 'osteogenesis', 'osteoclastogenesis', 'gout arthritis', 'Kashin‐Beck disease', 'ankylosing spondylitis', 'cervical spondylotic myelopathy', 'intervertebral disc degeneration', 'human muscle disease' and 'muscle hypertrophy and atrophy'. For each disorder, we focused on the publications in the last five years (5/1/2016‐2021/5/1, except for Kashin‐Beck disease). Finally, we excluded publications that had been reported in reviews of various musculoskeletal disorders during the last three years. Here, we summarized the progress of research on the role of lncRNA in multiple pathological processes during musculoskeletal disorders. Results LncRNAs play a crucial role in regulating downstream gene expression and maintaining function and homeostasis of cells, especially in chondrocytes, synovial cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts and skeletal muscle cells. Conclusions Understanding the mechanisms of lncRNAs in musculoskeletal disorders may provide promising strategies for clinical practice.

Abstract
This study hoped to explore the effects and mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LUCAT1 regulating microRNA-181a-5p (miR-181a-5p) on oxidative stress and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by H2O2. Totally, 72 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were included. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were cultured in vitro, and the H2O2 model of cardiomyocytes was established. The expression levels of LUCAT1 and miR-181a-5p were detected by qRT-PCR after H2O2 induction. The contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in cells were detected. The survival rate of the cells was detected by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) method; the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The luciferase reporter experiment and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) were used to verify the targeted relationship between LUCAT1 and miR-181a-5p. LUCAT1 was lowly expressed in the AMI patients. After H2O2 induction, the expression of LUCAT1 in H9c2 cells lessened significantly, while the expression of miR-181a-5p elevated significantly (P < 0.001). Transfection of p-LUCAT1 significantly reversed the decreased SOD levels, the increased MDA and ROS content, and the elevated tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in H2O2-stimulated cells (P < 0.001). Upregulation of LUCAT1 contributed to the mitigation of H2O2 injury by promoting viable cells and repressing apoptotic cells (P < 0.01). LUCAT1 targeted miR-181a-5p and negatively regulated miR-181a-5p expression (P < 0.001). Collectively, LUCAT1 played a protective role on oxidative stress injury, inflammation, viability, and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by H2O2 via regulating miR-181a-5p.

Abstract
Atrophy is defined as a reduction in cell, organ, or tissue size after reaching their normal mature sizes because of loss of organelles, cytoplasmic compartments, and proteins. This process is also involved in the pathogenesis of human disorders. Inadequate nourishment, poor circulation, inadequate hormonal support, defects in nerve supply of the tissue, disproportionate induction of apoptosis in the tissue, and absence of exercise are some underlying causes of atrophy. Recently, several non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been identified that regulate atrophy, thus participating in the pathobiology of related disorders such as neurodegenerative/ neuromuscular diseases, age-related muscle atrophy, and cardiac tissue atrophy. In the current review, we have focused on two classes of ncRNAs namely long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) to unravel their participation in atrophy-associated disorders.
