This study identified a novel circular RNA, circLRRFIP1, which plays a positive role in the development of skeletal muscle. The results showed that circLRRFIP1 promotes the proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle satellite cells by targeting the miR-15 family. The findings reveal the important role and regulatory mechanisms of circLRRFIP1 in chicken skeletal muscle development.
Skeletal muscle is important for animal meat production, regulating movements, and maintaining homeostasis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been founded to play vital role in myogenesis. However, the effects of the numerous circRNAs on growth and development of the skeletal muscle are yet to be uncovered. Herein, we identified circLRRFIP1, which is a novel circular RNA that is preferentially expressed in the skeletal muscle. To study the role of circLRRFIP1 in the skeletal muscle, the skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) was used to silenced or overexpressed circLRRFIP1. The results obtained in this study showed that circLRRFIP1 play a positive role in the proliferation and differentiation of SMSCs. The SMSCs were generated with stable knockdown and overexpression of circLRRFIP1, and the results showed that circLRRFIP1 exerts a stimulatory effect on the proliferation and differentiation of SMSCs. We further generated SMSCs with stable knockdown and overexpression of circLRRFIP1, and the results revealed that circLRRFIP1 exerts a stimulatory effect on the proliferation and differentiation of SMSCs. Mechanistically, circLRRFIP1 targets the myogenic inhibitory factor-miR-15 family to release the suppression of the miR-15 family to AKT3. The knockdown of AKT inhibits SMSC differentiation through the mTOR/p70S6K pathway. Taken together, the results obtained in this present study revealed the important role and the regulatory mechanisms of circLRRFIP1 in the development of chicken skeletal muscle. Therefore, this study provides an attractive target for molecular breeding to enhance meat production in the chicken industry.
