circFGFR4 Promotes Differentiation of Myoblasts via Binding miR-107 to Relieve Its Inhibition of Wnt3a

Muscle development is regulated under a series of complicate processes, and non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been reported to play important roles in regulating myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We found that miR-107 expression was high in skel...

description Muscle development is regulated under a series of complicate processes, and non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been reported to play important roles in regulating myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We found that miR-107 expression was high in skeletal muscle of Qinchuan cattle. Overexpression of miR-107 inhibited bovine myoblasts differentiation and protected cells from apoptosis. Wnt3a was identified as a target of miR-107 by luciferase activity, real-time qPCR, and western blotting assays. Knockdown of Wnt3a inhibited bovine myoblasts differentiation and apoptosis, and this effect was similar to miR-107 overexpression. We also found circFGFR4 to promote myoblasts differentiation and to induce cell apoptosis. Via luciferase screening and RNA pull-down assays, circFGFR4 was observed to sponge miR-107. Overexpression of circFGFR4 increased the expression of Wnt3a, whereas this effect was abolished by miR-107. These results demonstrated that circFGFR4 binding miR-107 promotes cell differentiation via targeting Wnt3a in bovine primary myoblasts.
