摘要


Mammalian skeletal muscles comprise different types of muscle fibers, and this muscle fiber heterogeneity is generally characterized by the expression of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms. A switch in MyHC expression leads to muscle fiber-type transition under various physiological and pathological conditions, but the underlying regulator coordinating the switch of MyHC expression remains largely unknown. Experiments reported in this study revealed the presence of a skeletal muscle-specific antisense transcript generated from the intergenic region between porcine MyHC IIa and IIx and is referred to here as MyHC IIA/X-AS. We found that MyHC IIA/X-AS is identified as a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is strictly expressed in skeletal muscles and is predominantly distributed in the cytoplasm. Genetic analysis disclosed that MyHC IIA/X-AS stimulates cell cycle exit of skeletal satellite cells and their fusion into myotubes. Moreover, we observed that MyHC IIA/X-AS is more enriched in fast-twitch muscle and represses slow-type gene expression and thereby maintains the fast phenotype. Furthermore, we found that MyHC IIA/X-AS acts as a competing endogenous RNA that sponges microRNA-130b (miR-130b) and thereby maintains MyHC IIx expression and the fast fiber type. We also noted that miR-130b was proved to down-regulate MyHC IIx by directly targeting its 3'-UTR. Together, the results of our study uncovered a novel pathway, which revealed that lncRNA derived from the skeletal MyHC cluster could modulate local MyHC expression in trans, highlighting the role of lncRNAs in muscle fiber-type switching.
