MicroRNA-139-5p suppresses myosin heavy chain I and IIa expression via inhibition of the calcineurin/NFAT signaling pathway
چکیده انگلیسی
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that are widely involved in a variety of biological processes. Different skeletal muscle fiber type composition exhibits characteristic differences in functional properties and energy metabolism of skeletal muscle. However, the molecular mechanism by which miRNAs control the different type of muscle fiber formation is still not fully understood. In the present study, we characterized the role of microRNA-139-5p (miR-139-5p) in the regulation of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform expression and its underlying mechanisms. Here we found that the expression of miR-139-5p was significantly higher in mouse slow-twitch muscle than in fast-twitch muscle. Overexpression of miR-139-5p downregulated the expression of MyHC I and MyHC IIa, whereas inhibition of miR-139-5p upregulated them. We also found that the levels of calcineurin (CaN), NFATc1, MEF2C and MCIP1.4, which are the components of CaN/NFAT signaling pathway that has shown to positively regulate slow fiber-selective gene expression, were notably inhibited by miR-139-5p overexpression. Furthermore, treatment of phenylephrine (PE), a α1-adrenoceptor agonist, abolished the inhibitory effect of miR-139-5p on MyHC I and MyHC IIa expression. Together, our findings indicated that the role of miR-139-5p in regulating the MyHC isoforms, especially MyHC I and MyHC IIa, may be achieved through inhibiting CaN/NFAT signaling pathway.
