Abstract

Skeletal muscle, as a regenerative organization, plays a vital role in physiological characteristics and homeostasis. However, the regulation mechanism of skeletal muscle regeneration is not entirely clear. miRNAs, as one of the regulatory factors, exert profound effects on regulating skeletal muscle regeneration and myogenesis. This study aimed to discover the regulatory function of important miRNA miR-200c-5p in skeletal muscle regeneration. In our study, miR-200c-5p increased at the early stage and peaked at first day during mouse skeletal muscle regeneration, which was also highly expressed in skeletal muscle of mouse tissue profile. Further, overexpression of miR-200c-5p promoted migration and inhibited differentiation of C2C12 myoblast, whereas inhibition of miR-200c-5p had the opposite effect. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that Adamts5 has potential binding sites for miR-200c-5p at 3'UTR region. Dual-luciferase and RIP assays further proved that Adamts5 is a target gene of miR-200c-5p. The expression patterns of miR-200c-5p and Adamts5 were opposite during the skeletal muscle regeneration. Moreover, miR-200c-5p can rescue the effects of Adamts5 in the C2C12 myoblast. In conclusion, miR-200c-5p might play a considerable function during skeletal muscle regeneration and myogenesis. These findings will provide a promising gene for promoting muscle health and candidate therapeutic target for skeletal muscle repair.
