miR-9-5p promotes myogenic differentiation via the Dlx3/Myf5 axis
MicroRNAs play an important role in myogenic differentiation, they bind to target genes and regulate muscle formation. We previously found that miR-9-5p, which is related to bone formation, was increased over time during the process of myogenic differentiation. However, the mechanism by which miR-9-...

description | MicroRNAs play an important role in myogenic differentiation, they bind to target genes and regulate muscle formation. We previously found that miR-9-5p, which is related to bone formation, was increased over time during the process of myogenic differentiation. However, the mechanism by which miR-9-5p regulates myogenic differentiation remains largely unknown. In the present study, we first examined myotube formation and miR-9-5p, myogenesis-related genes including Dlx3, Myod1, Mef2c, Desmin, MyoG and Myf5 expression under myogenic induction. Then, we detected the expression of myogenic transcription factors after overexpression or knockdown of miR-9-5p or Dlx3 in the mouse premyoblast cell line C2C12 by qPCR, western blot and myotube formation under myogenic induction. A luciferase assay was performed to confirm the regulatory relationships between not only miR-9-5p and Dlx3 but also Dlx3 and its downstream gene, Myf5, which is an essential transcription factor of myogenic differentiation. The results showed that miR-9-5p promoted myogenic differentiation by increasing myogenic transcription factor expression and promoting myotube formation, but Dlx3 exerted the opposite effect. Moreover, the luciferase assay showed that miR-9-5p bound to the 3’UTR of Dlx3 and downregulated Dlx3 expression. Dlx3 in turn suppressed Myf5 expression by binding to the Myf5 promoter, ultimately inhibiting the process of myogenic differentiation. In conclusion, the miR-9-5p/Dlx3/Myf5 axis is a novel pathway for the regulation of myogenic differentiation, and can be a potential target to treat the diseases related to muscle dysfunction. |
