| description | Extracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers of the inherited muscle wasting condition Duchenne muscular dystrophy, as they allow non-invasive monitoring of either disease progression or response to therapy. In this study, serum miRNA profiling reveals a distinct extracellular miRNA signature in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice, which shows profound dose-responsive restoration following dystrophin rescue. Extracellular dystrophy-associated miRNAs (dystromiRs) show dynamic patterns of expression that mirror the progression of muscle pathology in mdx mice. Expression of the myogenic miRNA, miR-206 and the myogenic transcription factor myogenin in the tibialis anterior muscle were found to positively correlate with serum dystromiR levels, suggesting that extracellular miRNAs are indicators of the regenerative status of the musculature. Similarly, extracellular dystromiRs were elevated following experimentally-induced skeletal muscle injury and regeneration in non-dystrophic mice. Only a minority of serum dystromiRs were found in extracellular vesicles, whereas the majority were protected from serum nucleases by association with protein/lipoprotein complexes. In conclusion, extracellular miRNAs are dynamic indices of pathophysiological processes in skeletal muscle. |
