Though miRNAs have been reported to regulate bovine myoblast proliferation, but many miRNAs still need to be further explored. Specifically, miR-152 is a highly expressed miRNA in cattle skeletal muscle tissues, but its function in skeletal muscle development is unknown. Herein, we aimed to investigate the role of miR-152 in regulating bovine myoblast proliferation. Functionally, RT-qPCR, Western blotting, EdU assay, and flow cytometry detection results showed that miR-152 inhibited bovine myoblast proliferation. Mechanistically, we demonstrated transcription factor KLF6 was a target gene of miR-152 by means of bioinformatics software prediction and dual-luciferase report analysis, which had been demonstrated to be favorable for myoblast proliferation. Collectively, our research suggested that miR-152 inhibits bovine myoblast proliferation via targeting KLF6.
尽管已有报道称miRNA可调节牛成肌细胞增殖,但仍有许多miRNA有待进一步探索。具体而言,miR-152是牛骨骼肌组织中高表达的miRNA,但其在骨骼肌发育中的功能尚不清楚。在此,我们旨在研究miR-152在调节牛成肌细胞增殖中的作用。在功能上,RT-qPCR、蛋白质免疫印迹、EdU检测和流式细胞术检测结果表明,miR-152抑制牛成肌细胞增殖。在机制上,我们通过生物信息学软件预测和双荧光素酶报告分析证明转录因子KLF6是miR-152的靶基因,该基因已被证明有利于成肌细胞增殖。总的来说,我们的研究表明miR-152通过靶向KLF6抑制牛成肌细胞增殖。
