Abstract
The development of skeletal muscle is a complex process involving the proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and changing of muscle fiber types in myoblasts. Many reports have described the involvement of microRNAs in the myogenesis of myoblasts. In this study, we found that the expression of miR-152 was gradually down-regulated during myoblast proliferation, but gradually up-regulated during the differentiation of myoblasts. Transfection with miR-152 mimics restrained cell proliferation and decreased the expression levels of cyclin E, CDK4, and cyclin D1, but promoted myotube formation and significantly increased the mRNA expression levels of MyHC, MyoD, MRF4, and MyoG in C2C12 myoblasts. However, treatment with miR-152 inhibitors promoted cell proliferation and restrained differentiation. Moreover, over-expression of miR-152 significantly decreased E2F3 production in C2C12 myoblasts. A luciferase assay confirmed that miR-152 could bind to the 3′ UTR of E2F3. In conclusion, this study showed that miR-152 inhibited proliferation and promoted myoblast differentiation by targeting E2F3.
